Lost Communication with Fuel Injector Control Module

The Fuel Injector Control Module has stopped transmitting on the vehicle data bus, so other control units no longer receive its messages. Injection-timing data is lost, which can stall the engine or prevent a start. Typical causes are loss of power or ground at the module, an open or shorted CAN/LIN bus wire, a connector fault, or an internal module failure.
