1. 1

   Read and verify codes: Turn the ignition key to the 'MAR' position, press the diagnostic button, and observe the EDC indicator light (5 long blinks, 5 short blinks for code 5.5).

2. 2

   Inspect the wiring harness and connections between the EDC control unit and the cylinder 5 injector for continuity, shorts to ground, or shorts to battery voltage.

3. 3

   Clear memory and retest to ensure this is an active fault: Turn ignition off, press and hold diagnostic button, switch ignition on for 5 seconds, release button, switch off, and restart the vehicle.

1. 1

   Disconnect Power

   Before turning off and on the control unit or beginning electrical repairs, disconnect the positive pole of the battery to prevent ECU damage.

2. 2

   Access the Injector

   Remove the engine cover or valve cover as necessary to access the fuel rail and injectors.

3. 3

   Disconnect Electricals

   Unplug the wiring harness connector from the cylinder 5 injector solenoid.

   Carefully loosen and remove the high-pressure fuel line connecting the common rail to the 5th injector.

5. 5

   Extract the Injector

   Remove the injector hold-down clamp/bolt and pull the faulty injector from the cylinder head.

6. 6

   Clean and Prep

   Clean the injector bore thoroughly, ensuring no debris falls into the cylinder.

7. 7

   Install New Injector

   Insert the replacement injector (always use a new copper crush washer/O-ring).

   Reassembly

   Torque the hold-down clamp and high-pressure fuel lines to the manufacturer's specifications. Reconnect the electrical harness.

9. 9

   ECU Reset
