What does this fault code mean?

The engine control module has registered an excessive reading on the fuel pressure valve's control line, or excessive current consumption by the valve. Most often the signal wire has come into contact with supply voltage, but the valve itself may be damaged. Engine speed is limited while the fault is present.

Possible causes

Signal wire shorted to supply voltage
Damaged fuel pressure control valve

What you can do

1With the ignition off, unplug the fuel pressure control valve connector and check the contacts for play and oxidation
2With the ignition on and the connector unplugged, use a multimeter on the signal wire; voltage there indicates a short to supply voltage
3The fuel system is under very high pressure and can cause injury, so have a workshop carry out all work on the valve
4If the fault returns after erasing codes and a test drive although the wiring is sound, have a workshop replace the fuel pressure control valve

Symptoms you may notice2
