Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Range / Performance

The fuel rail pressure sensor signal is within electrical limits but doesn't match commanded rail pressure under various engine loads. Common in common-rail diesel and GDI petrol engines.

Affected components

  • Fuel rail pressure sensor
  • High pressure pump
  • Rail pressure regulator

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pressure sensor drifted
  • Medium likelihood: Pressure regulator stuck
  • Low likelihood: High-pressure pump worn

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
