P0264: Cylinder 2 Injector A Circuit Low; diagnose electrical control, not nozzle flow from the code alone.
Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks
The injector A electrical monitor for cylinder 2 detects a low condition. Its precise meaning depends on driver design; this does not automatically mean low flow or pressure.
Affected system: Powertrain
Symptoms
- Rough idle, misfire or vibration if cylinder injection is interrupted.
- Engine warning lamp; reduced power or hard starting depending on affected cylinders.
Possible causes
- Loose connector, damaged terminals or open/shorted wiring for cylinder 2.
- Injector electrical fault or, less commonly, driver fault; a shared supply problem can affect multiple cylinders.
What to check
- Confirm cylinder numbering and injector type; identify the circuit for cylinder 2 on the diagram rather than assuming location.
- Save codes and failure conditions; if several injectors are affected, check shared supplies/connections first.
- Inspect connector and wiring for cylinder 2, including terminal retention and vibration/chafing areas.
- Test shorts and supply in the subcode-identified circuit; low may describe driver diagnostics rather than one wire voltage.
- Test injector and command waveform using compatible equipment and OEM limits; do not apply battery voltage directly, then verify the repair.
