P02FECold Start Fuel Injection Control Circuit Range/Performance
- 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. P02FE means the circuit is electrically intact but the cold-start injection does not work as expected – for example a worn, sticking or partly clogged injector, contact resistance, or an empty auxiliary tank or faulty supply pump. Cold starts take longer or fail. 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
- Long or failed cold start
- Rough running when cold
- Likely causes
- LikelyCold-start injector or valve worn, sticking or partly clogged
- PossibleContact resistance at connector or ground
- PossibleCold-start fuel supply faulty (auxiliary tank empty, pump, filter)
- RareEngine module or software
- 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 – €450
