- Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0193
- Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor detects fuel pressure within the fuel rail. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5-volt reference voltage on the 5-volt 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 FRP 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

* The ignition is ON or the engine is running.
* The DTCs run continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0192

The ECM detects that the signal circuit voltage is less than 0.3 volt for more than 4 seconds.

P0193

The ECM detects that the signal circuit voltage is more than 4.7 volts for more than 4 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0192 and P0193 are Type A DTCs.
* A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0192 and P0193 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

Engine idling, observe the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure parameter with a scan tool. The pressure should be approximately 3.5-5.5 Mpa (508-798 psi). With the engine running at idle, the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure should be close to the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure. As the engine speed increases, the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure and the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure should closely match each other.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the FRP Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

• 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 ECM.

• If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire at the signal circuit terminal 2. Toggle the jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool Actual Fuel Rail Pressure toggles between 0.1 MPa and 20.1 MPa.

• If the specified parameter does not toggle between the minimum and maximum values, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the FRP sensor.
