• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance

• Malfunctioning Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
Injector: A device that delivers fuel into the engine's combustion chamber
• P2288
• P2290
Injector Control Pressure Too High - Engine Off
This code means that the computer in your car thinks the pressure that controls the fuel injectors is too high when the engine is not running. It's like having too much air in a balloon before you even start blowing it up.
P2289 indicates that the fuel injector control pressure is higher than expected when the engine is off, which could lead to fuel delivery issues.
The P2289 code is set when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the injector control pressure is above the desired level while the engine is not running. This could be due to a faulty pressure sensor, wiring issues, or a malfunctioning PCM.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the injector pressure sensor.
• Test the injector pressure sensor for correct operation.
• Replace the injector pressure sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the PCM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Engine Performance
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved to prevent further damage.
• Consult a professional mechanic for accurate diagnosis and repair.
Check your vehicle's warranty coverage for powertrain components.
P2289 is a relatively uncommon code that typically affects diesel engines with high-pressure fuel systems.
Moderate – Address the issue soon to prevent potential engine performance problems.
Ignoring this code may lead to increased emissions and potential safety risks.
• Engine off
• Key in the ON position
The injector pressure sensor is typically located on the fuel rail or near the injectors.
Q: Can I drive with a P2289 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can lead to engine performance issues.
Q: How serious is the P2289 code?
A: It's moderately serious and should be addressed to avoid potential engine damage.
