P0256
Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control B Malfunction (Cam/Rotor/Injector)
DTC P0256, sometimes indicated as P025600 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing injection pump fuel metering control b malfunction (cam/rotor/injector).
The DTC code P0256 is set when the fuel injection pump fuel metering control B signal is out of range. This signal is used to control the amount of fuel delivered to the cylinders.
The most common causes of this code are a defective fuel injection pump, a defective camshaft position sensor, or a defective crankshaft position sensor.
If the code is caused by a defective fuel injection pump, the pump will need to be replaced.
If the code is caused by a defective camshaft position sensor, the sensor will need to be replaced.
If the code is caused by a defective crankshaft position sensor, the sensor will need to be replaced.
