The common rail pressure sensor is installed at the left end of the common rail. The sensor is used to detect fuel pressure. The common rail pressure sensor is a semiconductor-type pressure sensor. The sensor utilizes silicon's property that the electric resistance of pressurized silicone is varied.
A special gasket is used at the connection part with the common rail body in order to seal high pressure fuel.

• | The above conditions are met 255 times. |
• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |

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. |
• | Lack of power due to fuel leakage, fuel pressure and injection amount limited. |
• | Inspect the fuel filter for a leakage or restriction. |
• | Inspect for leaking injection lines. |

Important: In case of pressure control (PC) sensor and/or PC valve abnormality, stop the diagnosis. If the PC sensor and PC valve malfunction simultaneously, repair them first. Does the DTC set while the ignition is ON and the engine is running? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic Aids | ||||

The engine control module (ECM) monitors fuel rail pressure (FRP) using the FRP sensor. If the sensor indicates a pressure less than the commanded rail pressure, plus a possible transitional overshoot, the ECM will set DTC P0087 for fuel rail pressure too low.
• | The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts. |
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The engine speed is more than 500 RPM. |
• | DTC P0091, P0092, P0192, P0193, P0201-P0206, P0335, P1087, P1088, P1263-P1266, P2011, or P2012 are not set. |
The fuel injection volume does not follow the target fuel injection volume.
OR
The fuel rail pressure does not follow the target fuel rail pressure.
• | The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and reduced engine power indicator lamp, if equipped, 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 the accelerator operating range. |
• | The ECM limits the fuel injection quantity. |
• | The ECM limits the fuel rail pressure. |
• | The ECM closes the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and stops EGR control. |
• | The ECM inhibits cruise control. |
• | The ECM inhibits power take-off (PTO) 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. |
• | An intermittently sticking suction control valve (SCV) may have allowed the fuel pressure to drop suddenly. |
• | Normal actual fuel rail pressure readings on the scan with the engine running Park or Neutral at idle are 3 650-5 050 psi (25-35 MPa) and 8 700-18 850 psi (60-130 MPa) in Park or Neutral at WOT, accelerator pedal full travel. |
• | 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 fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor value, shifted to a higher pressure, can set this DTC. The actual fuel rail pressure on the scan tool should read 0 psi (0 MPa) with the key ON and the engine OFF after the engine has stopped running for a minimum of 2 minutes. |
• | Resistance in the FRP sensor low reference circuit can set this DTC. Ensure that the sensor low reference circuit has no resistance and the connectors are tight and free of corrosion. |
• | 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. |
