This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's computer is having trouble controlling the pressure of fuel going to the engine because there's a problem with the wires or connections.
This code indicates that there is an issue with the electrical circuit that controls the pressure regulator for the fuel injectors.
The P2623 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an open circuit or malfunction in the injector control pressure regulator circuit. This circuit is responsible for managing the pressure of fuel delivered to the injectors, ensuring optimal engine performance and efficiency.
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Engine may run rough or stall
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Faulty injector control pressure regulator
• Open or shorted wiring in the control circuit
• Poor electrical connection at the pressure regulator
