DTC Descriptors

DTC P0192
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0193
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The fuel rail pressure sensor detects fuel pressure within the fuel rail. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 V reference voltage on the 5 V reference circuit and ground on the reference ground circuit. The ECM receives a varying signal voltage on the signal circuit. The ECM monitors the voltage on the fuel rail pressure sensor circuits. When the fuel pressure is high, the signal voltage is high. When the fuel pressure is low, the signal voltage is low.

Conditions for Running the DTC

- Engine is running.
- The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.
- The DTCs run continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0192
The ECM detects that the fuel rail pressure sensor signal voltage is low.

P0193
The ECM detects that the fuel rail pressure sensor signal voltage is high.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

- DTCs P0192 and P0193 are Type A DTCs.
- A message center or an indicator may display Reduced Engine Power.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0192 and P0193 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information with a scan tool. DTC P0641 should not be set.
2. If a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM, LF1).
3. Engine idling, check the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0192 or P0193 should not set.
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the B47B fuel rail pressure sensor connector.
2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
3. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal A and ground.
5. If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
6. If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
7. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor voltage parameter is less than 0.02 V.
8. If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
9. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5 V reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is greater than 4.96 V.
10. If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
11. If all circuits test normal, replace the B47B fuel rail pressure sensor.
