The engine control module (ECM) uses the fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor to determine fuel pressure to the fuel injectors. This is then compared to the calculated target fuel pressure as determined by the ECM. The ECM adjusts the fuel rail pressure by modulating the duty cycle of the control driver of the fuel pressure regulator. Injector pulse duration is determined by the measured rail pressure and the target injection fuel into each cylinder. If a sensor circuit malfunction is detected, or the commanded fuel injection pump flow is not within the proper range for a given engine load and speed, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) will be set.
• | DTC P0192, P0193, or P1635 are not set. |
• | The ignition is ON. |
The commanded fuel injection pump flow is more than 12,000 mm³.
• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
If you have to prime the fuel system, inspect for the following conditions:
• | A restricted fuel supply line |
• | A fuel supply line air leak--Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis . |
If the condition is still intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 | Is DTC P0093 also set? | -- | Go to DTC P0093 | Go to Step 3 |
3 | Inspect the engine oil for fuel contamination. Refer to Fuel in Engine Oil in Engine Mechanical. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Attempt to start the engine. Does the engine start and continue to run? | -- | Go to Step 5 | |
5 | Is the customer concern also a surging idle? | -- | Go to Step 6 | |

Does the FRP regulator fuel flow measure more than the specified value? | 12,000 mm³ | Go to Step 7 | Go to Diagnostic Aids |
7 | Test the fuel pressure regulator solenoid control circuit between the ECM and the fuel pressure regulator for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 |
8 | Test for an intermittent or poor connection at the ECM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
9 | Replace the ECM. Refer to Engine Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
