Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the engine computer has detected an electrical problem in the wiring or control circuit for one of the fuel injectors. It usually points to a damaged wire, a loose or corroded connector, or a failing injector itself. It's a fairly common code and is often fixable by repairing the wiring or replacing a single injector rather than major engine work.
$150 – $500
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, but you shouldn't rely on it. If the affected cylinder is misfiring, driving for long can damage your catalytic converter, so it's best to get it diagnosed quickly.
If it's just a wiring or connector repair, you might pay around $150 to $250. Replacing a fuel injector typically runs $300 to $500 including parts and labor, depending on your vehicle.
It can be. A bad injector circuit often causes a misfire, which wastes fuel and can harm the catalytic converter over time. It's not an emergency, but it should be addressed soon.
Not always. The code points to an electrical problem in the injector circuit, which could be the injector itself, but is just as often a wiring or connector fault. A proper diagnosis tells you which.
