Software Incompatibility with Fuel Injector Control Module

Moderate severity

What it means

The injector driver module identifies itself with a software version that does not match what the engine ECU expects. Engine may not start or runs roughly until both modules are reflashed to compatible versions.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

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