Test Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 Lincoln Navigator, 2015 Lincoln MKZ, 2015 Lincoln MKX, 2015 Lincoln MKT, and 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. DD1 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) 

    Are DTCs P018C, P018D, P0192 or P0193 present? 

    Yes No
    For DTCs P018C or P018D, GO to DD2  .
    For all others, GO to  DD7.    		 RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS for further direction.
  2. DD2 CHECK THE VREF AND SIGRTN CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Fuel Pressure Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) Fuel Pressure Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) Fuel Pressure Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      VREF - Pin 3 SIGRTN - Pin 2

    Is the voltage between 4.5 - 5.5 V? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD3  . GO to PINPOINT TEST C .
  3. DD3 CHECK THE FLP CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) Fuel Pressure Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) PCM Connector, Harness Side
      FLP - Pin 1 FLP

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD4  . REPAIR the open circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  4. DD4 CHECK THE FLP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) Fuel Pressure Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
      FLP - Pin 1 Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD5  . REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  5. DD5 CHECK THE FLP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) Fuel Pressure Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
      FLP - Pin 1 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to DD6  .
  6. DD6 CHECK THE FLP CIRCUIT FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONCERN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Fuel Pressure Sensor connector connected.
    • PCM connector connected.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the FLP_V (VOLT) PID.
    • While observing the PID, carry out the following:
      • Tap on the sensor to simulate road shock
      • Wiggle the sensor connector
      • Wiggle, shake, and bend small sections of the wiring harness while working from the sensor to the PCM
    • Check the connector for damage or corrosion.

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 INSTALL a new Fuel Pressure Sensor.
    REFER to the fuel system WARNING information at the beginning of Pinpoint Test HC. GO to PINPOINT TEST HC . REFER to the service information , Fuel Tank and Lines.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  7. DD7 CHECK THE VREF AND SIGRTN CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • FRP Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) FRP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) FRP Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      VREF SIGRTN

    Is the voltage between 4.5 - 5.5 V? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD8  . GO to PINPOINT TEST C .
  8. DD8 CHECK THE FRP CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) FRP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) PCM Connector, Harness Side
      FRP FRP

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD9  . REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  9. DD9 CHECK THE FRP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) FRP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
      FRP Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to DD10  . REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  10. DD10 CHECK THE FRP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) FRP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-)
