Circuit/System Description
The fuel pressure sensor is mounted on the fuel line. Fuel pressure is measured by the fuel pressure sensor. The fuel pump flow control module (FPCM) monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor and also supplies the voltage and the ground of the fuel pressure sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is on.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FPCM detects that the fuel rail pressure (FRP) 5-volt reference is above or below a predetermined voltage threshold.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0641 and P06A6 are A type DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0641 and P06A6 are A type DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Failure Records can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel line pressure sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the fuel pressure sensor.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
