Cylinder 4 – open circuit in the cylinder deactivation intake valve control circuit. The PCM has detected incorrect voltage or resistance in the control circuit of the cylinder 4 deactivation valve.

OBD-II (EN): Cylinder 4 Deactivation Valve Control Circuit Malfunction

Code P3425 means the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected an open circuit in the electrical circuit of the cylinder 4 deactivation valve. This can be caused by a faulty solenoid, a wiring problem, or a fault in the ECM module itself. Diagnosis by a specialist using a bidirectional scanner is recommended to precisely determine the cause of the fault.

Symptoms

Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated on the dashboard. Loss of cylinder deactivation function (engine runs on all cylinders regardless of load). Increased fuel consumption due to lack of eco mode. Occasional vibrations or rough idle. Possible sporadic stumbling or misfire on cylinder 4.

Possible causes

Faulty or shorted cylinder 4 deactivation solenoid. Open or short circuit in the wiring harness supplying the deactivation valve circuit. Damaged electrical connector or corrosion on the valve plug. Communication error or fault in the engine control module (ECM/PCM). Outdated ECM software/calibration requiring an update. Low or contaminated engine oil hindering the hydraulic deactivation system.
