What is CID 906 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 906:

cid 906 refers to a problem with the vehicle’s fuel system, specifically with the fuel injector timing control circuit. the ecm detects irregular timing signals, which can cause rough idling, misfires, or poor fuel efficiency.

‍

Why This Happens:

• faulty fuel injector timing control solenoid.
  
• damaged or shorted wiring in the timing circuit.
  
• loose or corroded electrical connectors.
  
• malfunctioning ecm.
  
• contamination in the fuel system.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. inspect the fuel injector timing solenoid and wiring for damage.
   
2. test the solenoid’s resistance and voltage against manufacturer specs.
   
3. clean or replace corroded connectors.
   
4. check ecm signals to confirm timing accuracy.
   
5. replace the solenoid or repair wiring if necessary.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• perform regular inspections of the fuel injection system.
  
• use clean, high-quality diesel or gasoline.
  
• ensure connectors stay corrosion-free.
  
• perform diagnostic tests periodically.
  
• clue’s fuel management services help monitor injector timing and detect anomalies before they cause performance issues.
