• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance
• Engine misfires
• Short circuit in the injector wiring
• Faulty fuel injector
• Malfunctioning ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls engine functions.
Fuel Injector: A device that sprays fuel into the engine's intake manifold.
• P2146
• P2147
Fuel Injector Group A Supply Voltage Circuit High
This code means that the computer in your car is getting a signal that the electricity going to some of the fuel injectors is too high. It's like having too much water pressure in a hose.
The engine control module (ECM) has detected a high voltage condition in the supply circuit for the fuel injectors in group A.
The P2148 code is triggered when the ECM detects a higher than expected voltage in the supply circuit of the fuel injector group A. This could be due to a short circuit, a faulty injector, or a malfunctioning ECM. The fuel injectors are responsible for delivering fuel to the engine, and any issue with their power supply can affect engine performance.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorts.
• Test the fuel injectors for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace faulty fuel injectors.
• Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

This code has been associated with wiring issues in vehicles with higher mileage.
Moderate – Should be addressed soon to prevent further engine performance issues.
Driving with this code may lead to increased emissions and could fail an emissions test.
• Engine running
• Vehicle at operating temperature
The fuel injectors are located on the engine, typically near the intake manifold.
Q: Can I drive with a P2148 code?
