- Diagnostic codes for the fuel pressure sensor
Recommended Actions
Improperly Operating Fuel Pressure Regulator
A improperly operating fuel pressure regulating valve may cause high fuel pressure. If a problem is suspected, inspect the return fuel pressure regulating valve. Clean any contamination or debris that may keep the regulating valve from operating properly. If debris is present, find the source of the contamination. Replace the return fuel pressure regulating valve if the valve is worn or damaged.
Restriction in Fuel Lines
Inspect the lines to the electric fuel priming pump. Check the fuel lines for the following: kinked fuel suction line, collapsed lines and contamination. A restricted return fuel line can increase fuel pressure.
Proper Operation of the Fuel Pressure Sensor
Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle. Use Cat ET to monitor the fuel pressure for the engine. Check the value of the fuel pressure while the engine is at low idle. Ensure that the value of the fuel pressure is reasonable.
Diagnostic Codes for the Fuel Pressure Sensor
Check for active diagnostic codes for the fuel pressure sensor. If diagnostic codes for the fuel pressure sensor are logged or active, refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) - Test".
