Circuit Description
The fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor is a pressure sensor. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies about 5 volts on the FRP sensor reference voltage circuit. The PCM also supplies a ground circuit and a signal circuit to the FRP sensor. When the fuel rail pressure is normal, the FRP signal voltage rises to near 2.5 volts. If the fuel rail pressure increases, the FRP signal voltage increases. The PCM uses the FRP sensor information in order to adjust fuel trim.
This DTC sets when the FRP sensor signal voltage is more than the normal operating range of the sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTC P0336 is not set. |
| • | The engine speed is more than 100 RPM. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The FRP sensor signal voltage is more than 4.96 volts. |
| • | The condition exists for at least 1 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | 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. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if the condition is present.
-
This step determines if an open sensor ground circuit condition the cause of the condition. The FRP sensor and the fuel rail temperature (FRT) sensor share a sensor ground. An open circuit between the splice and the PCM will cause both signal circuits to indicate a high voltage.
-
This step determines if a shorted signal circuit is the cause of the condition.
-
This step determines if a shorted 5-volt reference circuit is the cause of the condition.
-
Monitor the scan tool data list after turning the ignition OFF. The PCM powers down after about 20 seconds and the scan tool will display a loss of communication.
This step tests the resistance of low reference circuit for the FRP sensor. The DMM should display less than 10 ohms when the PCM is not powered up.
