The Fuel Rail Pressure and Temperature (FRPT) sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with a continuous signal of fuel rail pressure via hardwired connection. The FRPT sensor is installed in the rear of the Bank 1 fuel rail. The FRPT sensor is screwed into a threaded boss in the fuel rail.

The FRPT sensor contains a steel diaphragm installed with strain gages, which are incorporated into a Wheatstone bridge. The output from the Wheatstone bridge is processed by the PCM to determine a pressure value. The FRPT sensor contains an Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor which allows the PCM to determine the fuel temperature.
