What happens if the ficm gets grounded will it cause the truck to run bad

I just did a new short block and new injectors in my 2002 duramax and now number 2 and 7 are showing +15 and all the rest are showing -7 and I was wondering if I had the ficm grounded if it would cause this

They are brand new injectors the truck is in Limp Mode when it dose that and I was wondering if that the ficm being grounded could cause it to be in limp mode

yes, it definitely could be. i would re check your wiring to confirm and let a shop with a scan tool verify this before throwing the ficm at it.

I have my own scan tool but the codes it sets off are just cause of the truck being in limp mode. Any thing else that would cause this that u can think of
