P1289

Moderate

Switching Solenoid for Air Assisted Injection Valves Bank 2 Control Circuit Signal High

What Does P1289 Mean?

The PCM has detected an abnormally high voltage signal from the air-assisted injection valve solenoid control circuit on bank 2. This indicates an open circuit or loss of ground in the control system.
