| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0263 | Cylinder 1 Contribution / Balance |
| P0266 | Cylinder 2 Contribution / Balance |
| P0269 | Cylinder 3 Contribution / Balance |
| P0272 | Cylinder 4 Contribution / Balance |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM controls the fuel injection compensation volume when the engine is idling.
If excessive deposits are present in an injector assembly, it may lower the fuel injection volume, resulting in an engine that stalls or has an unstable idle. Therefore, the ECM increases the fuel injection compensation volume to ensure the fuel injection volume necessary for idling.
The ECM stores this DTC if the fuel injection compensation volume exceeds the specified value.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0263 P0266 P0269 P0272 |
Conditions (a) and (b) are met more than 200 times with engine speed 500 to 1000 rpm (1 trip detection logic): (a) Engine coolant temperature: 60°C (140°F) or more (b) Difference of compensation value between cylinders: 15 mm3/sec. or more |

Tech Tips
These DTCs indicate a malfunction related to the primary circuit.
If DTC P0263 is displayed, check the injector No. 1 circuit.
If DTC P0266 is displayed, check the injector No. 2 circuit.
If DTC P0269 is displayed, check the injector No. 3 circuit.
If DTC P0272 is displayed, check the injector No. 4 circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 AND P272)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON, and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 AND P0272)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON, and turn the tester on.

Tech Tips
If a DTC for a different cylinder is stored when the injector assembly has been switched with a known good one from a different cylinder, the injector assembly may be malfunctioning.
If no DTC is stored after the injector assembly has been replaced, the injector assembly may be malfunctioning.
If the same DTC is stored again even after replacing the injector assembly with a known good injector assembly, the ECM, injector driver assembly, engine or wire harness may be malfunctioning.

Tech Tips
If excessive deposits are present on the head of the injector assembly, a malfunction of something other than the injector assembly has resulted in an increase of the fuel injection compensation volume. First perform the troubleshooting procedure for black smoke.
