P217FFuel Injector Group H Supply Voltage Circuit High

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
P217F is the last code of the injector group series: the feed of group H, cylinder 8 on GM's direct-injection V8 engines, shows supply voltage although the high-side driver is switched off. GM's tables 16OBDG07A, 18OBDG03A for the 6.2 LT4 and 19OBDG03A set it when the line stays within 1 V of the controller supply, counting 10 failures out of 20 samples at 100 ms with 11 V or more, type A, MIL on the first trip. A short to power can hold the injector partly open or stress the driver, so the module cuts cylinder 8. Wiring that touches a powered conductor, moisture in the plug or a failing module output are the candidates; high codes on several cylinders together suggest the module. P217E is the short to ground, P217D the general fault.
What you may notice
  • Check engine lamp on immediately
  • Cylinder 8 misfire, possibly rich running on bank 2
Likely causes
  • LikelyCylinder 8 feed shorted to a powered wire
  • PossibleMoisture or corrosion in the injector connector
  • RareEngine control module output stage faulty
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
