P03D3
Cylinder 7 Pressure Sensor Circuit Low
P03D3 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning: Cylinder 7 Pressure Sensor Circuit Low. Common causes: broken signal wire of cylinder 7 pressure sensor, signal wire short circuit to ground. Estimated repair cost: $22–133.
Symptoms
- Check Engine light on
- No data from cylinder 7 in the diagnostic scanner
- Possible unstable operation of cylinder 7
- Slight reduction in engine efficiency
- Intermittent misfires
Causes
- Broken signal wire of cylinder 7 pressure sensor
- Signal wire short circuit to ground
- Internal sensor failure (short inside)
- Damage to the connector or the contact being pulled out of the connector
- Contact corrosion
How to Fix
- Disconnect the cylinder 7 pressure sensor connector
- Measure the voltage of the signal contact in the harness without a connected sensor (expected ~5V reference)
- If the voltage in the harness is normal, replace the sensor
- If the voltage is low, test the signal wire for open and short circuit to ground
- Eliminate the detected wiring defect or replace the sensor
- Connect the connector, reset the codes, start the engine and check
