Fuel Delivery Pressure Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel delivery pressure switch is a normally closed switch that monitors the fuel delivery system pressure prior to the high pressure fuel injection pump. The fuel delivery pressure switch opens when the fuel system pressure reaches 365 kPa (53 psi) or above. If the fuel delivery system pressure drops below 365 kPa (53 psi) the switch closes, and if the fuel delivery pressure switch remains closed for more than 60 seconds, the PCM notifies the driver by displaying a low fuel pressure warning in the message center, and an engine derate occurs. The fuel delivery pressure switch is located at the top left of the engine in the fuel injection pump supply tube, forward of the secondary fuel filter.
