P2292 Injector Control Pressure Erratic
ICP signal is unstable or jumps — connector or sensor issue, or air in the high-pressure oil rail. A flow-deviating injector throws off cylinder balance — adjacent cylinders run leaner/richer to compensate, often masking the root cause until the trim limit is hit.
Is it safe to drive with P2292?
Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
Common causes
- Most likelyAir in HP oil rail
- Less likelyConnector with intermittent contact under vibration
- Less likelyHarness routed against vibrating component
