P02FDCold Start Fuel Injection Control Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- How the car detects it
- Cold start fuel injection is an extra injection system for cold starts – for example on flex-fuel engines running on high ethanol blends, where a Hyundai patent describes a small auxiliary tank, a cold-start injector and a heater. CARB lists such heated fuel preparation systems among the monitored output components. P02FD means the control circuit reads high – typically the control wire shorted to a supply wire, or a bridged coil. The driver cannot switch the valve as commanded; cold starts become difficult. No manufacturer document using this code was found; unlike the older P0213/P0214, these codes separate the fault types.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Hard or no start in cold weather (especially with high ethanol)
- Likely causes
- LikelyControl wire shorted to a supply wire (chafed or pinched)
- PossibleShort in the cold-start injector or valve
- RareMoisture or corrosion in the connector
- RareDriver stage in the engine module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €50 – €400
