P0202 on Skoda
Injector Circuit/Open - Cylinder 2
P0202 on Skoda vehicles indicates injector circuit/open - cylinder 2. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Skoda model — most commonly on Fabia. This code means the Engine Control Module detected an electrical problem (open circuit or out-of-range resistance) in the fuel injector control circuit for cylinder 2. The ECM switches each injector on and off through this circuit, and it monitors the circuit to confirm the injector is responding. P0202 indicates the computer isn't getting the expected electrical feedback for that specific injector, so cylinder 2 may not be fueling correctly. This commonly causes a misfire, rough running, and reduced power on that cylinder. Typical repair costs on Skoda range from $300 to $5,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0202
- •Damaged or corroded injector connector at cylinder 2
- •Open or shorted wiring in the injector control circuit
- •Failed (electrically open) fuel injector on cylinder 2
- •Loose or backed-out connector pin
- •Poor ground or power feed to the injector
- •Faulty injector driver inside the ECM/PCM
- •Chafed harness causing intermittent open
P0202 on Skoda by Model
Skoda Fabia(1 issue)
- 1.6 TDI (and 1.4 TDI PD) Diesel Injector / Fuel System Faults2003-2014
Fabia diesels suffer recurring fuel-system problems. On the common-rail 1.6 TDI, owners (PistonHeads, Briskoda) report repeated injector failures - in one case three injectors in a few months - causing misfires, rough running, smoke and limp mode. On the older 1.4 TDI 3-cylinder PD engine, the unit (Pumpe-Duse) injectors and their cam-driven actuation are sensitive to the wrong oil: using non-PD oil can wear the narrow cam lobes, and worn injector seals can dilute the engine oil (rising oil level). Misfuelling or bad fuel can also destroy the high-pressure pump, sending swarf through the system - an expensive (often four-figure) repair.

What does P0202 mean on Skoda?▼
P0202 stands for "Injector Circuit/Open - Cylinder 2."
