Fuel Rail Pressure And Temperature (FRPT) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, 2016 Land Rover Range Rover, 2014 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2013 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The FRPT sensor provides the ECM with a continuous signal of fuel rail pressure and temperature. 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 fitted with strain gages, which are incorporated into a Wheatstone bridge. The output from the Wheatstone bridge is processed by the ECM to determine a pressure value. The FRPT sensor contains an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) sensor which allows the ECM to determine the fuel temperature.
