Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control A Intermittent (Cam/Rotor/Injector)
Generic · fuel
Data confidence90%
The control module detected a fault associated with the Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control A Intermittent (Cam/Rotor/Injector) circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.

Frequently asked questions about P0255
What does P0255 mean?
Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control A Intermittent (Cam/Rotor/Injector). The control module detected a fault associated with the Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control A Intermittent (Cam/Rotor/Injector) circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.
Is P0255 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P0255 is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P0255 at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
