The common rail is installed to the intake manifold. The common rail is equipped with a flow damper, a pressure limiter, and a common rail pressure (PC) sensor.
The common rail pressure sensor is installed at left end of the common rail. The sensor serves the detect fuel pressure.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the common rail pressure signals for voltage outside the normal range of the common rail pressure sensor. If the ECM detects a common rail pressure signal voltage that is excessively high, DTC P1088 will be set.
DTC P0192 or P0193 are not set.
• | Common rail pressure 1st stage--common rail pressure over 160 MPa (23,205 psi) for 0.2 second |
• | Common rail pressure 2nd stage--common rail pressure over 180 MPa (26,106 psi) for 0.2 second |
• | The control module will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The ECM limits fuel delivery in stage 1. The ECM stops fuel delivery in stage 2. |
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
• | A 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 display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display will indicate the location of the fault. |

The engine control module (ECM) monitors fuel rail pressure (FRP) using the FRP sensor. If the sensor indicates a pressure more than the commanded rail pressure plus a possible transitional overshoot, the ECM will set DTC P088 for FRP too high.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts. |
Fuel rail pressure is more than 33900 psi (234 mPa) anytime during the ignition cycle. This indicates the fuel pressure is too high and pressure limiter most likely did not activate.
• | The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and reduced engine power indicator lamp, if fitted, 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 part pressure for fail-safe operator. |
• | The ECM closes the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and stops EGR control. |
• | The ECM inhibits cruise control. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
If an intermittent condition is suspected, the following may cause an intermittent:
• | Poor connections |
• | Misrouted harness |
• | Rubbed through wire insulation |
• | Broken wire inside the insulation |
Inspect for the following conditions:
• | Poor connection at ECM--Inspect 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. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the DTC P1088 display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harness related to the sensor. A change in the display will indicate the location of the fault. |
NOTE: The Actual Fuel Rail Pressure on 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 longer than 10 seconds.
• | An intermittently sticking suction control valve (SCV) may have allowed the fuel pressure to become high enough to open the pressure limiter valve. |
• | Normal Actual Fuel Rail Pressure readings on the scan with the engine running in Park or Neutral at idle are around 3650-5050 psi (20-35 mPa) and around 8700-18850 psi (60-130 mPa) in Park or Neutral at W.O.T. (accelerator pedal full travel). |
• | 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 engine OFF after the engine has stopped 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. |
