What does code P0294 mean?

Q: What does code P0294 mean?

Cylinder 12 Injector Circuit Low. P0294 means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the electrical circuit for cylinder 12's fuel injector is drawing less current than expected, which the PCM interprets as a low-current or open-circuit condition. The PCM monitors injector driver feedback and sets this code when the commanded injector pulse does not produce the expected current flow through the injector coil.
