P22DC Cylinder 1 Alternative Fuel Injector Control Circuit Range/Performance
Cylinder 1 alternative-fuel injector is electrically OK but its response (current ramp, dwell, peak voltage) is off-spec — typically winding ageing.
Is it safe to drive with P22DC?
Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
Common causes
- Most likelyWinding ageing
- Less likelySensor element aged beyond calibration window
- Less likelySensor mounting loose - signal damping
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Misfire or rough idle on the affected cylinder
- Increased fuel consumption
- Possible fuel smell or smoke from exhaust
