Hi there:

P0206 means that the PCM detected a fault in the injector or the wiring to the injector. It monitors the injector and when the injector is activated, the PCM expects to see the voltage pulled "low" or close to zero. When the injector is switched off, the PCM expects to see a voltage that is close to battery voltage or "high". If it doesn't see the expected voltage the PCM will set this code. The PCM also monitors resitance in the circuit. If the resistance is excessively low or high it will set this code.




The symptoms for this code will likely be a misfire and a rough running engine. Poor acceleration. The MIL will also be illuminated.





The causes of a P0206 engine light code could be any of the following:
- Bad injector. This is usually the cause of this code but doesn't rule out the possibility of one of the other causes
- Open in the wiring to the injector
- Short in the wiring to the injector
- Bad PCM




First, using a DVOM check the resistance of the injector. If it isn't within specs, then replace the injector.

Check for voltage at the fuel injector connector. It should have 10 volts or more.
Visually check the connector for damage or broken wires.
Visually check the injector for damage.




If you have access to an injector tester, activate the injector and see if it operates. If the injector operates, then you likely have either an open in the wiring, or a blocked injector. If you do not have access to a tester, swap the injector with another one and see if the code changes. If the code changes, then change the injector.




At the PCM, remove the driver wire from the PCM connector and Ground the wire. (Make sure you have the correct wire. If you're not sure, do not attempt) The injector should activate
Replace the injector




Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I'd compare them right at the store, or up against your old one, just to be sure, and if the same, for $15-$20 more, I'd go with the 120 amp, just to be sure I've got the amperage I need to power everything on board, and it may be a little easier on the 120 in the long run.

have the fuel pressure checked when starting cold, also have them do a fuel pressure leak down test, this test requires a special test gauge, if you are going to do the test buy the gauge, about $40

Want to turn off check engine light on my 2002 dodge grand caravan sport fault code was a gas cap which was replaced

take it to a parts store , have them pull out the code, you might try this , remove the negative battery terminal for about 10 minutes ! this could do it ! if not, have the parts store do it. all codes must be removed from ecm after repair is made to eliminate it , its stored into the memory, it will not forget about it , you have to make it forget !!!! get it ?

2005 dodge grand caravan...engine light on and off, went to autozone diagnostic. replaced upstream 02, last year replaced downstream...engine light came back on. need help!

When "check engine" litgh tun on, the PCM (computer) is warning that some fault code is stored there. Autozone could scanned your PCM and show exactly what fault codes is there; if your O2 sensors was replaced, I assuming that they can see this codes... so, they reset and delete all codes stored there? Scanned the PCM after this change?

2001 Dodge Caravan check engine light on- no owner's manual

Take the van to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for fault codes stored. The check engine light comes on to alert you that the computer has noted a fault in one of the van's systems. Getting the codes will show what faults the computer has noted. Most parts stores will do the scan for free. Hope this helped and best wishes.
