P0201 on Chrysler vehicles indicates injector circuit/open - cylinder 1. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chrysler model — most commonly on LeBaron. P0201 means the engine computer detected an electrical problem in the wiring or control circuit for the fuel injector on cylinder 1. The PCM pulses each injector open and back ground, and when it sees an open circuit, a short, or abnormal resistance on cylinder 1's injector circuit, it sets this code. In practice it means cylinder 1 may not be getting fuel injected properly, which can cause a misfire, rough running, or a no-start on that cylinder. It points to the injector itself or its wiring, not to a fuel-pressure problem affecting the whole engine. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $100 to $400, depending on the specific model and root cause.

Common Causes of P0201

  • •Damaged or corroded injector connector or terminals at cylinder 1
  • •Broken, chafed, or shorted injector wiring harness
  • •Failed (open or shorted) fuel injector on cylinder 1
  • •Loose or poor ground/power feed to the injector circuit
  • •Blown injector fuse or relay feeding the bank
  • •Failed injector driver inside the PCM/ECM

  • Fuel Injector Clogging and Leaking1990-1995

    Fuel injectors develop clogs and O-ring leaks from age and fuel deposit buildup. Clogged injectors cause misfires and poor fuel economy. Leaking injector O-rings create a fire hazard from fuel dripping onto the hot engine.
