P216C

What it means

The supply voltage on injector group E is above the upper limit. Overvoltage on the group-E supply can mis-time or damage the injectors. Causes: charging-system overvoltage, a stuck supply relay or regulator, or a wiring fault shorting the group-E supply to a higher voltage.

Is it safe to drive?

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
