Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Recommendations/Instructions. Please discard PIP4017B
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
On rare occasions, a SES light may be encountered due to a P1174 DTC. In some instances, a
P0300 may also be stored. This may be due to a fuel injector concern on one of the cylinders
that a Tech 2 fuel injector balance test may not isolate.
Recommendations / Instructions
If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, perform the Fuel Injector
Diagnosis (w/CH47976) in SI. If a lean injector is found, replace it and re-evaluate the
concern. In some instances, a fuel injector that has a flow rate as little as 3% less than the
other 3 injectors could cause this DTC to set. Also, as mentioned in the P1174 SI diagnosis, if
the misfire current counters or misfire graph indicate any misfires, it may be an indicator of
the cylinder that is causing the concern.
Notice: As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu
can still be tested with the AFIT. If the model you are working on is not in the AFIT menu,
ensure that the AFIT has been updated with the latest software. To find the latest AFIT
software, follow instructions in the latest version of PIP4723 to gain access to GM tools and
equipment website. If the latest AFIT software has been installed but the vehicle you are
working on still is not listed in the AFIT menu, it will be necessary to use the direct
connection method outlined in the AFIT User Guide.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

- Upgraded Universal Fuel Injector Tester and Cleaner Tool Kit---Operates injectors individually to diagnose fuel delivery problems on petrol vehicles with electronic fuel injection, such as blockage, leakage, damage, and burnout of the injectors. The included 8-size cleaning adapters combined with the tester pulse mode can quickly clean the injectors
- 【Test for 2 Injectors Simultaneously & Ultra-long Power Cord】Come with two pairs of output terminals, allowing you to test for two injectors or for one injector at once. The tester power cord is up to 40inch and the test lead is up to 20 inches for convenient testing. The wires are made of superior silica gel, allowing the tester to work at high and low temperatures. （To make it perform better, it is recommended to work at normal temperatures.）
- 【8 Size Adapters Cleaning Tool & Universal Fit】Our cleaner small and large size adapters are compatible with most 12V EFI and GDI vehicle models' injectors. We also offer two additional specialized adapters for the BMW Audi, one is suitable for models such as V.W, Audi, etc. and another one with threaded hole is exclusively for BMW N series such as N14/N18/N20/N26/N53/N54/N55/N63/S63.
- 【8 Pulse Modes & LCD Display】The fuel injector tester kit is designed with 8 pulse modes, which are composed of 4 pulse signal output modes and 2 output voltage levels: Short/ Medium/ Long/ Continuous pulse modes + High/Low(12V/5V) power drive modes. This tester has a wide variety of pulse modes, providing a large testing space to accurately and quickly diagnose and repair petrol vehicle injectors' fuel delivery problems. The LCD displays the mode you are in.
- 【Polarity Reverse Connection Protection & Short Circuit Protection】Deigned with power input reverse connection protection and output short circuit protection function. In the case damaged or a short circuit of the pulse output terminal, the power indicator light of the fuel injector cleaner tool kit will flash to prompt you.
- Stop Fuel Waste at Record High Prices: Every Drop That Doesn’t Burn Costs You Money. A faulty injector can silently waste 20–30% of your fuel without ever triggering a check engine light –no code, no warning. Don’t let a clogged, leaking, or poorly atomized injector drain your wallet. The JT200 fuel injector tester helps you pinpoint the exact faulty injector causing abnormal fuel consumption. Fix the real problem, restore proper combustion, and start saving at every fill-up – even with gas prices at historic highs.
- See the Problem – Visual Spray Pattern Diagnosis. Most testers only check continuity, leaving hidden spray pattern issues undetected. The JT200 features transparent test tubes that give you a crystal-clear view of each injector’s spray pattern and atomization quality. Spot distorted sprays, uneven streams, or poor atomization instantly –no more guesswork or swapping parts blindly. As a professional technician said: “This is a game-changer. Way easier to find a weak injector than traditional tools.”
- Precision Flow Measurement – Compare Each Injector Side by Side. The JT200 comes with easy-to-read graduated cylinders that let you measure and compare fuel volume against manufacturer specs and across all injectors. Clear injection volume scales and intuitive readings help you quickly identify deviations. No more “it looks fine” – get hard numbers to back your diagnosis and repair decisions with confidence.
- Real-World Engine Simulation – Idle to Redline, No Engine Needed. Simulate actual driving conditions right on your workbench. Use Automatic Mode to test injector performance from idle to high-speed acceleration, or switch to Manual Mode to pinpoint issues at any specific RPM (100 – 9,900 RPM). No need to start the engine repeatedly – save time, fuel, and wear. The sealed, transparent graduated cylinders are designed for safety, preventing high-temperature flammability while allowing easy reading.
- Wide Compatibility – Cars, Motorcycles & More (Not for GDI). Protect every vehicle in your garage. The JT200 includes a full set of Φ9–14.5mm adapters, compatible with most traditional EFI injectors and MPI top-feed injectors (Not for GDI injectors). Works with 6V motorcycles and 12V cars/pickups – simply connect to the vehicle’s 12V battery and start testing. From DIY home garages to professional shops, the JT200 covers you. [Note:] Use recommended test fluid. Kerosene or diesel can substitute. Do not use gasoline – its strong solvent properties may damage tubes and pose a fire hazard.
- Upgraded Universal Fuel Injector Tester and Cleaner Tool Kit---Simulate the engine working conditions, quickly diagnose fuel delivery problems on petrol vehicles with electronic fuel injection, such as blockage, leakage, damage, and burnout of the injectors. The included 4-size cleaning adapters combined with the tester pulse mode can quickly clean the all kinds of auto injectors
- 【8 Pulse Test Modes & Reset Switch】The fuel injector tester kit is designed with 8 pulse mode for more accurate and faster results in injector testing, which are composed of 4 pulse signal output modes and 2 output voltage levels: Short/ Medium/ Long/ Continuous pulse modes + High/Low(12V/5V) power drive modes. Designed with a reset function that makes it easier for you to switch modes.
