The fuel supply system comprises a fuel rail pressure sensor, a priming pump on the supply pump, and pipes. The fuel pressure sensor measures pressure of fuel rail. The fuel supply system sends signal to the engine control module (ECM).
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Limiter Active
• | The ignition switch is ON. |
• | The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts. |
• | The rail pressure is more than 210 MPa (30,748 psi). |
• | A pressure fall is carried out quickly. |
• | The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and reduced engine power indicator lamp when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
• | The ECM limits fuel injection quantity for fail-safe operation. |
• | The ECM limits fuel rail pressure for fail-safe operation. |
• | The ECM closes the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and stops EGR control. |
• | The ECM inhibits cruise control. |
• | The MIL resets when the ignition is turned OFF. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Important: The Actual Fuel Rail Pressure on the scan tool will only update with the engine running or one time after the key is cycled when the ignition has been turned OFF for more than 10 seconds.
• | An intermittently sticking suction control valve (SCV) may have allowed the fuel pressure become high enough to open the pressure limiter valve. |
• | Normal actual fuel rail pressure readings on the scan with the engine running Park or Neutral at idle are 25-35 MPa (3,650-5,050 psi) and 60-130 MPa (8,700-18,850 psi) in Park or Neutral at WOT, accelerator pedal full travel. |
• | A shorted SCV or a short between the high and low control circuit will set DTC P1087 and may not set an electrical DTC P0091 or P0092. |
• | An intermittently sticking fuel injector may have allowed the fuel pressure to drop too much. Use a scan tool to perform the Cylinder Power Balance Test for each injector. Verify a consistent engine speed change when commanding each fuel injector ON and OFF. |
• | A skewed FRP sensor value, shifted to a higher pressure, can set this DTC. The actual fuel rail pressure on the scan tool should read 0 MPa (0 psi) with the key ON and the engine OFF after the engine has stopped running for a minimum of 2 minutes. |
• | The fuel system from the fuel tank to the fuel supply pump is under a slight vacuum with the engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel system if these connections are not tight or if there is a crack in one of the fuel hoses. Air in the fuel system will cause fuel rail pressure fluctuations especially at high engine speed and load, which may set this DTC. |
