Circuit/System Testing: P0087
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If DTC P0090, P0168 or P0191 is also set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- Ignition ON for 90 seconds, verify the scan tool FRP Regulator Command parameter is less than 20 percent.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the ECM.
- Attempt to start the engine.
- If the engine does not start, refer to Engine Cranks But Does Not Run .
- Install the CH-48027
to the fuel rail service port and slowly increase the engine speed until reaching wide open throttle (WOT). The value should be between 1-4 inches Hg vacuum.
- If more than the specified value, inspect for restricted fuel filter or damaged supply lines.
- If no restriction was found, test for high fuel return flow. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- With the engine idling or at an idle, command the fuel pressure control to 180 MPa (26,106 psi) with a scan tool. Observe the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure parameter. The actual fuel pressure should be the same as the commanded pressure.
- If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than 165 MPa (23,931 psi), refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurs while observing the CH-48027
. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
- If the vacuum was more than 12 inches Hg of vacuum at any time in the operating range, inspect for kinked or restricted fuel supply lines.
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurred. Observe the Actual fuel Rail Pressure and Desired Fuel rail Pressure parameters with a scan tool. Fuel pressures should be the same for both parameters.
- If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- If fuel system tests normal, refer to Diagnostic Aids .
IMPORTANT:
If the fuel temperature is near 121°C (250°F) during the duplication of the complaint, or in the Failure Records for this DTC, inspect for a restriction in the fuel cooler air flow or the fuel heater always ON. Refer to Fuel Heater Always On
