Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The fuel rail pressure sensor has a 5 volt reference circuit, a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage on the fuel rail pressure sensor circuits. When the fuel pressure is high, the signal voltage is high. When the fuel pressure is low, the signal voltage is low. The ECM uses this signal to compared the calculated desired fuel rail pressure with the actual fuel rail pressure from the fuel rail pressure sensor in order to maintain proper engine performance.
