Fuel Injector Group "D" Supply Voltage Circuit High

P2157 indicates that the fuel injector group D circuit is detecting a voltage level that is higher than the expected operating range. This occurs when the engine control module detects excessive voltage being supplied to the fuel injector group D, which can prevent proper fuel injection timing and delivery.

Schedule a repair soon — this issue will worsen and may cause additional damage if ignored.

What You Might Notice

  • Check engine light illuminated
  • Rough idle or engine hesitation
  • Reduced fuel economy
  • Difficulty starting the engine
  • Reduced engine power or performance

Most Common Causes

  1. 1

    Faulty fuel injector driver module

    The injector driver circuit or module is malfunctioning and not properly regulating voltage to injector group D, causing excessive voltage output.

  2. 2

    Damaged fuel injector wiring or connectors

    Corroded, shorted, or damaged wiring and connectors in the injector group D circuit are causing voltage irregularities.

  3. 3

    Faulty fuel injector coil

    One or more fuel injectors in group D have internal electrical faults causing the circuit voltage to exceed specifications.

  4. 4

    Engine control module (ECM) malfunction

    The ECM is not properly controlling the fuel injector circuit voltage or is incorrectly reading the circuit voltage.

How to Diagnose It

  1. 1

    Check Faulty fuel injector driver moduleThe injector driver circuit or module is malfunctioning and not properly regulating voltage to injector group D, causing excessive voltage output.

  2. 2

    Check Damaged fuel injector wiring or connectorsCorroded, shorted, or damaged wiring and connectors in the injector group D circuit are causing voltage irregularities.

  3. 3

    Check Faulty fuel injector coilOne or more fuel injectors in group D have internal electrical faults causing the circuit voltage to exceed specifications.

  4. 4

    Check Engine control module (ECM) malfunctionThe ECM is not properly controlling the fuel injector circuit voltage or is incorrectly reading the circuit voltage.

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Inspect and repair injector wiring and connectors

    Examine all wiring harnesses and connectors associated with fuel injector group D for corrosion, damage, or loose connections. Repair or replace as needed and ensure proper seating.

  2. 2

    Test and replace faulty fuel injectors

    Perform resistance and spray pattern tests on each injector in group D. Replace any injectors that fail testing or show electrical resistance outside manufacturer specifications.

  3. 3

    Replace fuel injector driver module

    If the driver module is faulty, remove and install a new fuel injector driver circuit module or control unit to restore proper voltage regulation.

  4. 4

    Have ECM reprogrammed or replaced

    If wiring, connectors, and injectors test normal, have the engine control module scanned for software issues. Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
