This code identifies the failed diagnostic test or circuit family. Confirm the basic checks before replacing parts, and keep freeze-frame data until the repair is verified.

Common Checks

  • Inspect the cylinder 6 spark plug, coil, boot, and injector connector.
  • Move suspect ignition parts to another cylinder for confirmation.
  • Check compression and injector operation if the fault remains.

Common Repairs

  • Replace the failed ignition or injector part proven by testing.
  • Repair wiring, intake leak, or mechanical issues found by follow-up checks.
