Circuit/System Description

High pressure fuel is regulated by the high pressure fuel pump actuator, which is a part of the high pressure fuel pump. The high pressure fuel pump actuator is a solenoid valve. The ECM provides battery voltage on the actuator high control circuit and ground on the actuator low control circuit. Both circuits are controlled through output drivers within the ECM. When deactivated, both drivers are disabled. When activated, the high control circuit driver energizes the high pressure fuel pump actuator and the low control circuit driver pulse-width modulates (PWM) the low control circuit to ground. The ECM monitors the voltage on the circuits to detect a failure.

Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition voltage is greater than 11 V.

The engine speed is greater than 50 RPM.

The DTCs run continuously within the enabling conditions.


Conditions for Setting the DTC


P0090

The ECM detects an open circuit in the high pressure fuel pump actuator low control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.



P0091

The ECM detects a short to ground in the high pressure fuel pump actuator low control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.



P0092

The ECM detects a short to voltage in the high pressure fuel pump actuator low control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.



P00C8

The ECM detects an open circuit in the high pressure fuel pump actuator high control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.



P00C9

The ECM detects a short to ground in the high pressure fuel pump actuator high control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.



P00CA

The ECM detects a short to voltage in the high pressure fuel pump actuator high control circuit.

The DTC sets when the above condition is present for 4 s.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets


DTCs P0090, P0091, P0092, P00C8, P00C9, and P00CA are Type A DTCs.

A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0090, P0091, P0092, P00C8, P00C9, and P00CA are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Use a scan tool to read the DTC Info. DTC P0090, P0091, P0092, P00C8, P00C9, P00CA, P0685, or P1682 should not set.

2. If a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

3. Ignition ON, command the Fuel Pressure Regulator ON and OFF with a scan tool while observing the following control circuit status parameters:

Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status

Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit Open Test Status

Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status

Fuel Pressure Regulator High Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status

Fuel Pressure Regulator High Control Circuit Open Test Status

Fuel Pressure Regulator High Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status

Each parameter should toggle between OK and Not Run or Not Run and OK.

4. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.


Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the G18 high pressure fuel pump.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the high control circuit terminal 2 and ground and the low control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3. If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.

4. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the high control circuit terminal 2 and B+ and the low control circuit terminal 1 and B+.

5. If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.

6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the high control circuit terminal 2 and ground. The Fuel Pressure Regulator High Control Circuit Open Test Status should transition from Malfunction to OK and the Fuel Pressure Regulator High Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status should transition from OK to Malfunction.

7. If not the specified value, test the high control circuit for an open/high resistance.

8. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the low control circuit terminal 1 and B+. The Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit Open Test Status should transition from Malfunction to OK and the Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status should transition from OK to Malfunction.

9. If not the specified value, test the low control circuit for an open/high resistance.

10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the G18 high pressure fuel pump.


Component Testing


Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the G18 high pressure fuel pump.

2.
Note

The DMM and test leads must be calibrated to 0 Ω in order to prevent misdiagnosis.


Test for 9-11 Ω at 25°C (77°F) between the low control circuit terminal 1 and the high control circuit terminal 2 at the G18 high pressure fuel pump.

3. If not within the specified range, replace the G18 high pressure fuel pump.

4. Measure the resistance between each terminal and the high pressure fuel pump housing. The DMM should display OL.

5. If less than the specified value, replace the G18 high pressure fuel pump.
