DTC P00C6: Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Mercury Mariner, 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2010 Lincoln Town Car.

DTC 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 PCM attempts to start the engine at fuel pump module pressure and sets DTC P00C6.
Possible Causes: 
  • Fuel filter plugged or dirty
  • Fuel supply line restricted
  • Damaged fuel pump module
  • Damaged fuel injection pump
Diagnostic Aids:  Diagnose any FRP and FVR circuit DTCs first.
