Cylinder 3 injector was created by Ram273
I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 2wd 5.9l magnum. I got a p0203 code wich is injector circuit malfunction. I had a rat chew my wires on the injector plug so i replaced the plug that didnt solve it still get the code and missfires pretty bad. Changed out all the injectors still no luck. I tried the trick with a test light on the feed wire at the ecm to check for an open wire and the test light doesnt light up. Does this mean my ecm is bad?

do you have power on the dark green/orange wire? (connect test light to battery negative) and check. first easiest check. you need to check for a pulsed ground at the pcm on pin 5 yellow/white wire at the ecm. (have test light hooked up to battery positive and look for a flashing light while engine is running) you may need to clear the code as it may have intentional shut down. might have pulse for a minute and go away due to intentional shut down. it may be to old for this though

If the +12v side of the injector plug is dead It sounds to me like you still have a wire damaged.

What cheryl said....At the PCM, do you have 12v on Pin 5, Connector 2 ( Yel/Wht )?
