Check the cause
Connect the SERDIA diagnostic tool to confirm the presence of internal fault code FC:001A
Inspect the wiring harness between the A051 EDC 7 control unit and the cylinder 3 injector (Y097) for chafing, breaks, or short circuits
Disconnect the plug at the cylinder 3 injector and check for corrosion, pushed-out pins, or poor terminal tension
Perform an electrical resistance test on the cylinder 3 injector solenoid to determine if the injector has failed internally
Repair steps
Resolve Wiring Issues
If the diagnostic checks reveal a wiring fault between the A051 ECU and the Y097 injector, repair or replace the affected harness section.
Replace the Injector
If the wiring is intact but the injector fails electrical testing (or mechanically fails to inject fuel), remove and replace the cylinder 3 fuel injector.
Clear Faults
Once the physical repair is complete, use the SERDIA diagnostic software to clear the fault code from the A051 EDC 7 memory.
Test Run
Run the engine and monitor the start of injection parameters via SERDIA to ensure cylinder 3 is now operating within the target setpoint range.
