DTC Descriptors

DTC P0641
- 5 V Reference Circuit

DTC P06A6
- 5 V Reference Performance

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The fuel pressure sensor is located on the fuel line. The fuel pressure sensor monitors the fuel pressure in the fuel line. The fuel pump control module monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The fuel pump control module detects that the fuel pressure 5 V reference is above or below a predetermined voltage threshold.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0641 and P06A6 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0641 and P06A6 are Type A 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

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B47 fuel pressure sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K27 fuel pump control module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K27 fuel pump control module.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If less than 4.8 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K27 fuel pump control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K27 fuel pump.

If greater than 5.2 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K27 fuel pump control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K27 fuel pump control module.

If between 4.8-5.2 V

5. Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is less than 1 V.

If 1 V or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K27 fuel pump control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K27 fuel pump control module.

If less than 1 V

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3, wait 15 seconds.

7. Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is greater than 4.8 V.

If 4.8 V or less

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K27 fuel pump control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K27 fuel pump control module.

If greater than 4.8 V

8. Test or replace the B47 fuel pressure sensor.
