Circuit Description
The fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor is a pressure sensor. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies about 5 volts on the FRP sensor reference voltage circuit. The PCM also supplies a ground circuit and a signal circuit to the FRP sensor. When the fuel rail pressure is normal, the FRP signal voltage rises to near 2.5 volts. If the fuel rail pressure increases, the FRP signal voltage increases. The PCM uses the FRP sensor data in order to adjust fuel trim.
This DTC sets when the FRP sensor signal voltage is outside of the normal operating range of the sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0005, P0192, P0193, P1432, P1433, or P2665 are not set. |
| • | The CNG fuel tank pressure is more than 1,723 kPa (250 psi). |
| • | The ECT is more than -15°C (5°F). |
| • | The engine speed is more than 100 RPM. |
| • | The mass airflow (MAF) is less than 127 g/s. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The FRP sensor is less than 156 kPa (23 psi) when the fuel tank pressure is more than 1407 kPa (204 psi). |
| • | The FRP sensor is more than 683 kPa (99 psi). |
| • | The condition exists for at least 3 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module switches over to gasoline fuel operation. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
If there are any other DTCs set, diagnose those DTCs first.
-
This step determines if the condition is present.
-
This step tests the signal circuit, and the 5 volt reference circuit of the FRP sensor. The scan tool should display 5 volts when the circuits are jumpered together.
-
This step determines if the 5-volt reference circuit is the cause of the condition. The DMM should display 5.0 volts across the test lamp.
-
This step tests the resistance of low reference circuit for the FRP sensor. The DMM should display less than 5 ohms.
-
This step verifies that a mechanical fuel system condition is not the cause of the concern. A fuel pressure regulator condition may cause this DTC to set.
