DTC P00C6: Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P00C6 - FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TOO LOW - ENGINE CRANKING

Description:  The high pressure fuel system must reach a minimum pressure threshold before the engine can be started. If the high pressure fuel system cannot achieve this threshold within certain time and crankshaft rotation limits, the powertrain control module (PCM) attempts to start the engine at fuel pump assembly pressure and sets DTC P00C6.
Possible Causes: 
  • Fuel filter plugged or dirty
  • Fuel supply line restricted
  • Damaged fuel pump assembly
  • Damaged fuel injection pump
Diagnostic Aids:  Diagnose any fuel rail pressure (FRP) and FVR circuit DTCs first.
