P22DFCylinder 2 Alternative Fuel Injector Control 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
P22DF indicates that the control circuit of the cylinder 2 gas injector reads high, which TransEco Energy's AFCM table attributes to a short to power; MIL on for bi-fuel use. Ford's 2014 code list likewise flags P22DF for the MIL. A line stuck at supply voltage keeps the injector closed, so cylinder 2 burns no gas and misfires lean, while running on gasoline is unaffected. On GM's 2015 bi-fuel Impala the ECM drives the CNG injectors itself and, if it sees a fuel delivery problem in one system, changes over to the other, so the driver may only notice a switch back to gasoline. A coil with internal shorts can produce the same overcurrent. P22DE is the low side; P0265 is the high-side code of the gasoline injector.
What you may notice
  • Malfunction indicator lamp on
  • Cylinder 2 misfires only on gas
  • Unexpected return to gasoline
Likely causes
  • LikelyCylinder 2 control wire touching a live supply wire
  • PossibleInternal short in the cylinder 2 gas injector coil
  • RareDriver protection in the control module tripping due to a fault
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
