What Does the P1227 Code Mean?

The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector positive voltage control circuits. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit of that fuel injector. The ECM monitors the status of the injector positive voltage control circuits and the fuel injector control circuits. When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injectors will be disabled and may disable the affected group of fuel injectors. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the ECM injector output driver detects an incorrect current on a fuel injector circuit.
