About P0295

P0295 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P0295 is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage higher than the expected operating range.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0295 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P0295 fault code is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a high voltage condition in the injector circuit for cylinder 12. This may result from a short to power, a stuck-open injector, or an internal fault in the injector control circuit, causing improper or excessive fuel delivery to cylinder 12.
