The Fuel Rail Pressure and Temperature (FRPT) sensor is located at the top of the fuel rail. The FRPT sensor is screwed into a threaded port and sealed with a mating taper in the fuel rail.

The FRPT sensor has a 4 pin electrical connector which is connected to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the engine wiring harness. The electrical connector provides a 5V reference voltage from the PCM, a pressure and a temperature signal input to the PCM and a ground connection.

The FRPT comprises a piezo-resistive type sensor containing an actuating diaphragm. Deflection of the diaphragm provides a proportional signal output voltage to the PCM, dependent on the fuel pressure within the fuel rail.

The temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) type sensor, which allows the PCM to determine the fuel temperature.
