Cylinder 7 Injection Timing Performance - Over Retarded
What it means
P01D7 means Cylinder 7 Injection Timing Performance - Over Retarded.
Check these first
- Cylinder 7 injector late or restricted, so timing runs retarded
- A weak or intermittent cylinder 7 injector circuit
- Low fuel pressure at the cylinder 7 rail
- A sticking or dirty cylinder 7 injector
- A worn cylinder 7 injection component, like a cam or lifter
What to do next
- Check fuel pressure at the rail feeding cylinder 7
- Run an injector balance test on cylinder 7
- Inspect the cylinder 7 injector connector and wiring
- Swap the cylinder 7 injector with a known good one and recheck
- Check cam and lifter wear if the injector tests good
- Clear the code and retest
