Click here
DTC Code DTC Name
P008A00 Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too Low
Click here

DESCRIPTION

In order to supply the optimal fuel pressure according to the driving conditions and usage environment, the variable fuel system sends a drive signal from the ECM to the fuel pump control ECU, steplessly performing variable control of the fuel pump (for low pressure side) and receiving feedback about the fuel pressure from the fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side).

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory Note
P008A00 Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too Low Actual fuel pressure value less than target fuel pressure by threshold or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Leak of fuel

  • Fuel pump control ECU

  • Fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side)

  • Fuel pump (for low pressure side)

  • Fuel main valve assembly (for high pressure)

  • ECM

 - DTC stored SAE: P008A

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the fuel pressure decreases despite an increase request signal being sent to the fuel pump control ECU by the ECM, the ECM will store this DTC.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on [A].

  6. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).

    Click here

  7. Start the engine and warm it up [B].

  8. With the engine running, drive the vehicle for 15 minutes or more [C].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    Tip:

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].

  10. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tip:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  12. Input the DTC: P008A00.

  13. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    Tip:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [D] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

    Click here

    (Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

    Click here

  • If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
