The PACCAR MX P1210 page of the 2013 PACCAR MX Diagnostic Service Manual is the manufacturer reference for diagnostic trouble code P1210, described in the manual as “Injector solenoid valve cylinder 3 – Short circuit between ECU D420 pin A6 and A5”. It is a 5-page PDF section covering injector solenoid valve diagnostics on EPA2013 PACCAR MX engines, and it keeps the same layout as every other code page in that manual.

What PACCAR MX P1210 means
The manual files P1210 as a 1 trip MIL code with 3 drive cycle recovery, readiness group None and freeze frame type Comprehensive. The diagnostic runs whenever the engine is running at idle or higher rpm. The code sets when the voltage on the injector ground wire drops below 2.4 volts or exceeds 9.6 volts while the injector is commanded on with the engine running, and it changes to inactive immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
Possible causes and technical data
The possible causes field on this page reads “no possible causes available”, so the printed troubleshooting order is the only guidance the manual gives.
The component check runs through connector B460 with the ignition keyed off, using ± 0.67 Ω at 20°C [68°F] and a maximum of 0.94 Ω at 120°C [248°F] as the resistance values for the injector solenoid valves. The page then runs 4 numbered troubleshooting steps, each with its own step ID, starting from a visual inspection of connectors and harness with the ignition off. The manual warns against back probing, notes that disconnecting the EAS connectors during troubleshooting produces multiple errors, and reminds the technician to exit the fault code menu in DAVIE and rerun the test before judging whether anything changed.
Who needs this PACCAR MX P1210 manual page
