This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble figuring out the right timing for the fuel pump, which helps the engine run smoothly.
The engine control module (ECM) has not successfully learned the correct timing for the fuel injection pump, which is necessary for optimal engine performance.
The P2673 code indicates that the ECM has detected an issue with the calibration process of the injection pump timing. This process is crucial for ensuring that the fuel is injected into the engine at the right time for efficient combustion. If the timing is off, it can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance
• Increased fuel consumption
• Faulty injection pump
• Wiring issues or poor connections
• Faulty ECM or software issue
ECM: Engine Control Module
Injection Pump: A device that delivers fuel to the engine's cylinders at the correct time and pressure.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connections to the injection pump
• Check the injection pump for faults or damage
• Repair or replace faulty wiring or connectors
• Re-calibrate the injection pump timing
• Replace the injection pump if necessary
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Wrench set

• Dodge Ram 2500
• Regular maintenance and inspection of fuel system components
• Use high-quality fuel
• Keep the ECM software updated
Engine Performance
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is fixed to prevent further damage.
• Consult with a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage related to the injection system.
The P2673 code has been associated with diesel engines that rely heavily on precise fuel injection timing for efficiency and performance.
Moderate – Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further engine damage.
Driving with this code may lead to increased emissions, which can affect your vehicle's compliance with environmental regulations.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle in a safe, stationary position
The injection pump is typically located on the engine block, connected to the fuel lines.
Q: Can I drive with a P2673 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for long periods with this code, as it can lead to engine performance issues.
Q: How serious is the P2673 code?
A: While not immediately critical, it should be addressed soon to avoid potential engine damage.
