Circuit/System Testing

P0087

1. If DTC P0090, P0168 or P0191 is also set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
2. Attempt to start the engine.
   • If the engine does not start, refer to Engine Cranks but Does Not Run .
3. Install the CH-48027  to the fuel rail service port and slowly increase the engine speed until reaching wide open throttle (WOT).
   • If more than 5 inches Hg of vacuum was present during engine speed increase, replace the fuel filter and inspect the fuel supply lines for damage between the fuel tank and the fuel injection pump.
   • If no restriction was found, test for high fuel return flow. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
4. With the engine idling or at an idle, command the fuel pressure control to 180 MPa (26,106 psi) with a scan tool. Observe the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure parameter. The actual fuel pressure should be the same as the commanded pressure.
   • If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than 165 MPa (23,931 psi), refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
IMPORTANT: If the fuel temperature is near 121°C (250°F) during the duplication of the complaint, or in the Failure Records for this DTC, inspect for a restriction in the fuel cooler air flow or the fuel heater always ON. Refer to Fuel Heater Always On .
5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurs while observing the CH-48027  . You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
   • If the vacuum was more than 12 inches Hg of vacuum at any time in the operating range, inspect for kinked or restricted fuel supply lines.
6. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurred. Observe the Actual fuel Rail Pressure and Desired Fuel rail Pressure parameters with a scan tool. Fuel pressures should be the same for both parameters.
   • If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
   • If fuel system tests normal, refer to Diagnostic Aids.

P0088

1. Start the engine and operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
2. Observe the Actual Fuel Pressure parameter with a scan tool. The actual pressure should be 30 MPa (4,352 psi) with the engine idling at operating temperature.
3. Command the fuel pressure with a scan tool, incrementing through the entire fuel pressure range. The fuel pressure should increment and stabilize through the entire fuel pressure range with actual and desired fuel pressure within 5 MPa (725 psi) of each other.
   • If the pressure difference between the actual and desired pressure are more than 5 MPa (725 psi), test the solenoid supply voltage circuit and the solenoid control circuit for high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the FRP regulator.
   • If the pressure difference between the actual and desired pressure is less than 5 MPa (725 psi), refer to Diagnostic Aids.
