P02DB Cylinder 8 Fuel Injector A Offset Learning At Max Limit
The per-cylinder injector offset on cylinder 8 has reached its maximum value — the injector is delivering significantly less fuel than the calibrated reference, and the controller cannot trim it any further.
Is it safe to drive with P02DB?
Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
