The common rail is installed on the intake manifold, and is equipped with a flow damper, pressure limiter, and common rail pressure sensor.
The common rail unit has a common fuel passage and fuel passage holes. The common rail pressure sensor is installed at the left end of the unit.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the common rail pressure signals for voltage outside the normal range of 10-104 kPa (1.5-15 psi) of the rail pressure sensor. If the ECM detects a common rail pressure signal voltage that is excessively low, this DTC will set.
• | The battery voltage is more than 8 volts. |
• | The fuel injection pump speed is more than 450 RPM. |
• | The coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or more. |
• | DTC P0190, P0192, or P0193 is not set. |
Common rail pressure is more than 10 MPa (1,450 psi) over the target pressure.
• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The ECM limits fuel delivery. |
• | 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. |
Inspect for the following conditions:
• | Poor connection at the ECM |
Inspect the harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection. |
• | Damaged harness |
Inspect the wiring harness for damage, shorts to ground, shorts to battery, and open circuits. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the Rail Pressure display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the common rail pressure sensor. A change in the common rail pressure scan tool display will indicate the location of the fault. |
