Fuel Rail High Pressure

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses commanded fuel pump flow to determine a desired fuel rail pressure. The ECM monitors fuel rail pressure with the fuel rail pressure sensor. The Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 1 and Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 2 are used to control the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. The Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 1 and Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 2 are pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM supplies the voltage directly to the Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 1 and Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid 2. The ECM controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is running.

The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0087

The ECM detects that the rail pressure is below the minimum threshold.

P0088

The ECM detects that the rail pressure exceeds the maximum positive deviation of rail pressure.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0087 and P0088 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0087 and P0088 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids


A restricted fuel supply line, a leakage in the high pressure section, too much or too little fuel in the low pressure line may cause DTCs to set. When ambient temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), the fuel tank pickup screen may be iced over from water in the fuel tank.

High Resistance in either circuit of the Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 will cause a DTC to set.

High Resistance in either circuit of the Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 will cause a DTC to set.

There are no driveability concerns associated with the fuel rail pressure regulator unless a DTC is present. One of the causes of these DTCs is a sticking fuel rail pressure regulator.

If the fuel system pressure is actually too high, a fuel knock and smoke condition will exist.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that no other DTCs are set.

2. If any other DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

3. Engine ON, observe the DTC's information parameter on the scan tool. DTCs P0087 or P0088 should not be 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 ON, command the fuel pump ON and OFF with a scan tool. Verify the fuel pump turns ON.

2. If the fuel pump does not turn ON, refer to Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit Diagnosis for further diagnosis.

3. Ignition OFF, install the fuel pressure gauge EN-34730-1A

4. Ignition ON, verify the fuel pressure is between 414-550 kPa (60-80 PSI).

5. If not within the specified range, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for further diagnosis.

6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q45A Fuel Rail Pressure Regulator 1.

7. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground.

8. If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

9. Ignition ON, test for 3-4 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

10. If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open or a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

11. If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

12. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q45B Fuel Rail Pressure Regulator 2.

13. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground.

14. If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

15. Ignition ON, test for 3-4 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

16. If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open or a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

17. If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

18. Inspect and repair one of the following conditions:

A fuel system leak

Restricted fuel filter

Injection nozzle stuck in open position

Leakage in the fuel rail pressure regulator

Worn fuel injection pump

Restricted fuel return

Fuel injection pump stuck open

Fuel rail pressure regulator stuck closed

Restricted fuel injector

19. If all circuit tests normal, replace the Q45A Fuel Rail Pressure Regulator 1 or Q45B Fuel Rail Pressure Regulator 2.
