P1247 · VolkswagenNeedle Lift Sensor Circuit Open/Short To B+

P1247 on Volkswagen diesel engines indicates that the engine control module has detected an open circuit or a short to battery voltage in the needle lift sensor circuit. The needle lift sensor, mounted inside the fuel injector, reports the exact moment fuel injection begins, and the ECM uses this signal to fine-tune injection timing. When the circuit is open or shorted to B+, the ECM loses this feedback and sets the code.
