P217E
Fuel Injector Group H Supply Voltage Circuit Low
The supply voltage feeding injector group H has dropped below the lower limit. The injectors in this group lose drive voltage and may stop firing, so the cylinders they serve run lean or cut out. Causes: a blown fuse, a failed injector supply relay, a voltage drop in the supply harness, or a poor ground or connector on the group-H supply.
