What does this fault code mean?
In certain operating modes, for example with a cold engine, fuel pressure is controlled only by the fuel pressure control valve. The module monitors fuel pressure and sets the code when pressure is incorrect in such a mode. It can also trigger when the control valve receives too high a signal.
Possible causes
- Excess fuel flow reaching the injection pump, for example from a damaged fuel pressure sensor, injector, fuel pressure control valve or tank pump
- Too high fuel pressure from a damaged injection pump
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connections to the fuel pressure control valve
- Short circuit in the signal wire to the fuel pressure control valve
What you can do
- 1Check the fuel level in the tank and top up if it is low
- 2Check the fuel system for leaks and whether the fuel filter is blocked
- 3Check the connector to the fuel pressure control valve for contact resistance, oxidation and breaks
- 4Use a multimeter to check that the signal and earth wires to the fuel pressure control valve have no break or short
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check the tank pump, the injectors and the injection pump
Symptoms you may notice4
- Unusual noise while driving, sometimes or all the time
- Unusual noise at idle
- Text message and warning symbol in the display
- Poor performance and lack of power
What the fault can affect2
- Engine torque is limited
- Burning of soot particles does not take place
