Exactly (blue added for emphasis), the code does exist. If you just look at post 2 from the original link you'd miss it. But in post 2 it's there. I looked at some other sources too: here and here and here the code is the same: injector control unit.

Nikki, it sucks, but I wouldn't accept this answer. I not chance anything that might result in engine damage. If this is an injector control issue that could mean the engine might run lean under load (which is a very very bad idea). I don't know enough about the injector control unit to understand how much risk there is, but if it's controlling injector duty (and hence impacts AFR) I wouldn't mess with it. At the very least I would drive ultra conservatively under low throttle and low revs.
