P2B08 — Cold Start Cylinder 1 Injection Pulse Performance

During cold start, the ECM detects that the injection pulse on cylinder 1 does not produce the expected combustion result. Cold-start specific pulse calibration deviates from learned values.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Fuel injector cyl 1
  • Cold start calibration

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Injector behaviour drifts at low temperature
  • Poor fuel atomization at cold start

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
