P008A - Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too Low

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.
P008A - LOW PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE - TOO LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors low pressure fuel system pressure using the fuel delivery pressure switch. When the low pressure fuel system pressure drops below 365 kPa (53 psi) for 60 seconds, the switch closes, grounding the fuel delivery pressure switch (FDPS) circuit and setting this DTC.
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.
Verify the fuel level, grade and quality is sufficient to support normal operation of the engine.
