System: Powertrain (P-Code)
SAE Standard (Generic)
Family: Air Assisted Injector Circuit
Code P0065: Air Assisted Injector Control Range/Performance
Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P0065 (Air Assisted Injector Control Range/Performance) sets when the ECM detects an out-of-range response or an electrical fault while controlling the air-assist solenoid that atomizes fuel at the injector tip for cold-start/idle quality. Causes include a clogged air-assist orifice, a failed solenoid coil, or damaged wiring to the solenoid.
