<ul> <li><b>Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)</b>: <b>Engine Light ON</b> indicates a detected issue in the vehicle's system. <b>Potential causes</b> include a malfunctioning high-pressure fuel injector for cylinder 4, issues with the injector circuit, or a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM).</li> <li><b>Poor Engine Performance</b>: <b>Poor Engine Performance</b> may occur due to improper fuel delivery to cylinder 4. <b>Potential causes</b> include a high resistance in the injector circuit, a short to voltage, or a defective fuel injector.</li> <li><b>Engine Misfire</b>: <b>Engine Misfire</b> can be a result of inadequate fuel injection in cylinder 4. <b>Potential causes</b> include a damaged injector, wiring issues, or a malfunctioning ECM.</li> <li><b>Increased Fuel Consumption</b>: <b>Increased Fuel Consumption</b> may be observed due to inefficient fuel combustion. <b>Potential causes</b> include a faulty injector causing improper fuel atomization or a circuit issue leading to incorrect fuel delivery.</li> </ul>

<ul><li>The fuel injector for cylinder 4 may be malfunctioning, leading to improper fuel delivery.</li><li>An open or shorted harness in the fuel injector 4 can disrupt the electrical flow, causing the error code.</li><li>Poor electrical connections in the fuel injector 4 circuit can result in intermittent or failed injector operation.</li><li>Issues with the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) can affect the control and performance of the fuel injector 4.</li></ul>

<ul> <li><b>Initial Scan</b>: Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the presence of DTC P3114 and check for any additional codes that may be related.</li> <li><b>Visual Inspection</b>: Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the high-pressure fuel injector for Cylinder 4. Look for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.</li> <li><b>Check Injector Resistance</b>: Using a multimeter, measure the resistance of the high-pressure fuel injector for Cylinder 4. Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specifications.</li> <li><b>Inspect Power Supply</b>: Verify that the injector is receiving the correct voltage. Check the power supply circuit for any issues.</li> <li><b>Test Injector Driver Circuit</b>: Check the injector driver circuit in the Engine Control Module (ECM) for proper operation. Ensure there are no shorts or opens in the circuit.</li> <li><b>Perform Injector Activation Test</b>: Use a scan tool to perform an injector activation test. Confirm that the injector for Cylinder 4 is functioning correctly.</li> <li><b>Check ECM</b>: If all previous steps are normal, inspect the ECM for any faults or issues. Consider reprogramming or replacing the ECM if necessary.</li></ul>

<p>The DTC code P3114 indicates a high voltage condition in the low side circuit of the high-pressure fuel injector for cylinder 4. This is a critical issue.</p><ul><li><b>Potential Risks:</b> Engine misfire, reduced performance, potential engine damage.</li><li><b>Immediate Actions:</b> Inspect and repair the wiring and connectors for cylinder 4's fuel injector. Replace the injector if necessary.</li></ul>
