Standard definition

Fuel Injector Group A Supply Voltage Circuit Low

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

The supply voltage measured at injector group A is below the calibrated threshold. Either the supply is shorted to ground or the source voltage has collapsed during cranking or load.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.

Clearing the light
A completed drive cycle is normally required before the monitor re-runs and the light can clear.
Symptoms you may notice
  • Misfire or rough idle on the affected cylinder
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Possible fuel smell or smoke from exhaust

Many vehicles show no symptom at all beyond the warning light. The absence of a symptom does not mean the fault is not real.

Likely causes

2Weak battery, low cranking voltageCommon
3Connector pins corroded - high contact resistanceOccasional

Ordering reflects how often each cause is responsible in general, not a probability for your vehicle. Confirm by testing.
