P0267: Cylinder 3 Injector Circuit Low
Can you still drive? Drive only short distances. A non-firing cylinder sends unburned fuel into the exhaust, which can quickly damage the catalytic converter.
What Does P0267 Mean?
Code P0267 is set when the ECM detects a lower-than-expected voltage in the cylinder 3 fuel injector circuit. This prevents the injector from opening properly, starving cylinder 3 of fuel. The result is a lean misfire condition on that cylinder.
Need to read your codes?
An OBD-II scanner lets you read and clear diagnostic trouble codes from your vehicle's computer. Most scanners work with any car made after 1996.
