These issues typically include a broken wire, a loose terminal, or a burned-out injector coil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This trouble code generally appears when the PCM is unable to detect the expected voltage spike from the #2 injector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a P0202 code is set, you might notice that your engine is misfiring, running rough, and accelerating poorly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Most vehicles today use computerized fuel injection systems that allow each cylinder to receive its own dose of fuel and have the appropriate air\/fuel ratio changes according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/car-engine-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"engine\">engine<\/a> load. Thanks to electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems, many vehicles benefit from reduced emissions, better fuel economy and performance, and reduced instances of cold starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuel injectors are pulsated by the powertrain control module (PCM) via the PCM microprocessor. This part applies a small pulse to the transistor driver circuit, which makes the transistor conductive. Any problem detected by the PCM that involves the injector circuit may cause it to log the P0202 code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0202 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/search-obd2-codes-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Diagnostic trouble code\">Diagnostic trouble code<\/a> (DTC) code P0202 stands for &ldquo;Cylinder 2 Injector Circuit\/Open,&rdquo; and indicates a potential problem with the #2 fuel injector circuit, like a broken wire, loose terminal, burned out injector coil, or some other circuit interruption issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-injector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"injectors\">injectors<\/a> on an MPI unit is grounded, the injector pintle raises off its seat, and fuel flows during that very brief instant (1-5 milliseconds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ground to the injector coil is released, the pintle spring snaps it back against its seat, fuel flow stops, and the collapsing magnetic field induces a spike of about 50 volts that travels back toward the ECM\/PCM on that ground trigger circuit, which is designed to handle those voltage spikes. Some ECM\/PCMs will measure these spikes to verify injector operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your vehicle&rsquo;s powertrain control module (PCM) does not detect the expected voltage spike from the #2 injector, it triggers code P0202. Alternatively, If it doesn&rsquo;t sense 12 volts on the trigger (PCM) side of the injector (coming through the injector coil from the opposite side), it can interpret that as an injector circuit fault and store the code. It varies from OEM to OEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"ai-summary-widget\">\n\n        <div class=\"ai-summary-grid\">\n\n            <div>\n                <div class=\"ai-avatar\">\n                    <figure>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/q_auto,dpr_auto,f_auto\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/ai-summary\/ai-bot\" alt=\"AI robot\">\n                    <\/figure>\n                    <span>ELI5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div>\n                <p>When your car sends fuel to the engine, it quickly opens a tiny door called an injector. It does this by turning on power for a moment, like flipping a light switch. When the door closes, it sends a little electric &ldquo;hello&rdquo; back to the car&rsquo;s computer. The computer listens for that signal to make sure everything is working. If it doesn&rsquo;t hear it, or if the injector has no power, it records the error and warns the driver by activating a warning light.<\/p>    \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"ai-summary-tooltip\">   \n            <p>Not everyone is an auto repair expert. <strong>ELI5 (&ldquo;Explain Like I&rsquo;m Five&rdquo;)<\/strong> provides layperson-friendly explanations of complex automotive concepts, systems, &amp; parts, so you can fully understand their importance.
