What was code for failed indirect fuel injector?

Runs great now. My 2014 had the check engine light on last week, dealer found code P0420 and replaced the failed Indirect Fuel Injector under my extended warranty. It had been on what seemed like a very long regen prior to the Idiot Light coming on, and most likely responsible for the sensors going bad.

Where is the fuel injector error code stored?

Basically, this code only ever gets stored on the Powertrain Control Module of diesel engines. This code indicates that the vehicle´s PCM has detected an inconsistency between the electronic fuel control actuator´s signal voltage that was sent out and the one returned by the fuel metering sensor control.

Why do I have a # 9 injector on my Chevy?

As a standalone matter now, I did some googling and it seemed this code was indicative of a failing indirect fuel injector (what I’ve seen referred to as the #9 injector). Basically, it wasn’t getting enough fuel into the system to allow the soot to burn off on the exhaust filter.

What does a low voltage fuel injector code mean?

In a nutshell, this particular code indicates that the PCM is experiencing a low voltage situation involving the fuel injector for the number 1 cylinder in the firing order. Put simply, the fuel injector is malfunctioning and it could be due to a wide range of reasons.
