Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The fuel pressure sensor is located on the fuel line. The fuel pressure sensor monitors the fuel pressure in the fuel line. The fuel pump flow control
module monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is running.
* DTC P018C, P018D, P0231, P0232, P023F, P064A, P1255 or P06A6 are not active.
* DTC P0641 has not failed this ignition cycle.
* Fuel pump control is enabled and the fuel pump control state is normal.
* The engine has been running for at least 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The fuel pump control module does not detect a change in the fuel rail pressure of at least 30 kPa (4.4 psi) when the fuel pump is operating. The
fuel rail pressure sensor performance diagnostic provides a means to detect fuel pressure sensor output that is stuck within the normal operating
range of the sensor.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P018B, P018C and P018D are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P018B, P018C and P018D are Type A DTCs.
