P2285 on 2003-2005 Ford Excursion — Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Low
1 vehicles · 1 makes · $100-$350 repair
Most Reported On
P2285 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Low.” This code means the engine computer detected a low-voltage (or out-of-range low) signal from the injector control pressure (ICP) sensor, used mainly on certain diesel engines with high-pressure oil-actuated fuel injection. This sensor monitors the pressure that operates the injectors. A faulty low signal means the computer can't accurately manage injection pressure, which can cause hard starting, no-start, rough running, stalling, or reduced power. Because it directly affects fueling, it should be diagnosed promptly. This code is most commonly reported on 2003-2005 Ford Excursion, with repair costs ranging from $100 to $350.
