DTC P008A: LOW PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE: TOO LOW

Description:  This DTC sets when the low pressure fuel system pressure drops below 365 kPa (53 psi) for 60 seconds, closing the fuel delivery pressure switch and grounding the FDPS circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Restricted fuel filter
  • Running out of fuel
  • Damaged fuel conditioning module
  • Fuel contaminated
  • FDPS circuit short to ground
  • Damaged fuel delivery pressure switch
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power. After repair, the vehicle may still display a system warning message. Drive the vehicle until the system warning message has cleared from the instrument cluster message center.
Verify the fuel level, grade and quality is sufficient to support normal operation of the engine.
