Fuel Volume Regulator A Control Circuit/Open

The ECU detects an open circuit in the control of fuel volume regulator A (often the metering valve on the high-pressure fuel pump). The actuator does not respond, so rail pressure cannot be controlled accurately.

Affected components

  • Fuel volume regulator
  • High pressure fuel pump
  • Fvr wiring
  • Fvr connector

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Wiring break or unplugged connector
  • Medium likelihood: Regulator solenoid coil open
  • Low likelihood: ECU output driver failed

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
