| P0087 | Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low |
| P0088 | Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too High |

DESCRIPTION
With a cold engine, the internal pressure of the common rail is regulated by the pressure control valve of the common rail assembly. With a warm engine, it is regulated by the suction control valve of the fuel supply pump. When the engine is running with light load, it is regulated by both the pressure control valve and the suction control valve. Based on signals from the ECM, the pressure control valve opens when sudden deceleration occurs to prevent the fuel pressure from becoming too high.
These DTCs are used to indicate in which mode a malfunction was detected. They do not indicate which part was malfunctioning when the fuel pressure malfunction was detected.
Tech Tips
All of the following DTCs can be detected when the engine speed is 630 rpm or higher.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0087 | Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low | Common rail internal pressure is less than 12000 to 15000 kPa (varies with engine speed) for 0.3 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P0088 | Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too High | Common rail internal pressure is 175000 kPa or higher for 0.3 to 1.0 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P0191 | Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Range / Performance | After certain period of time has elapsed after the engine has stopped (pressure control valve releases common rail internal pressure during this period), common rail internal pressure deviates from normal range. (Determination of a malfunction is conducted within a given time after the ignition switch is turned from ON to off. If a malfunction is detected within this time, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the ignition switch is next turned to ON.) (1 trip detection logic) |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P0A0F | Engine Failed to Start | The engine speed is greater equal than the minimum threshold, but the pressure built up in the rail is not sufficient. (them, engine cannot start) Detect during engine cranking (2 trip detection logic) |

Tech Tips
*1: At this time, the suction control valve is sending minimum volume of fuel depending on engine speed, load and fuel pressure, so it can reduce the rise in fuel temperature and reduce engine load.
Fuel pressure control response with suction control valve is not as fast as with the pressure control valve.
*2: At this time, suction control valve sending maximum volume of fuel at that engine speed.
Pressure control valve can reduce common rail pressure quickly during sudden deceleration.

Tech Tips
When the engine is running, the actual common rail internal pressure (Common Rail Pressure) follows the target common rail internal pressure (Target Common Rail Pressure). Under a stable condition such as idling, Common Rail Pressure is within +/-10000 kPa of Target Common Rail Pressure.
Tech Tips
If DTC P0087, P0088, P0191, P0A0F, P1229 or P1272 is stored, the following symptoms may appear.
- Lack of power or engine stall due to fail-safe operation
If the Common Rail Pressure is 175000 kPa or higher.
- Combustion noise worsens
If the Common Rail Pressure is 15000 kPa or less.
- Difficult to start
If the Common Rail Pressure is higher than "Target Common Rail Pressure +20000 kPa".
- Combustion noise worsens
If the Common Rail Pressure is less than "Target Common Rail Pressure -20000 kPa".
- Difficult to start
- Poor acceleration
- Engine stall
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When replacing the ECM and/or injector assembly, perform ECM Initialization and Registration.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
If the value of "Target Pump SCV Current" in the freeze frame data exceeds 1530 mA, the supply pump assembly may have a malfunction.
Before starting the inspection procedure, check the following items of freeze frame data carefully for identifying the cause of the malfunction, and in judging whether it was temporary or not.
Target Common Rail Pressure
Common Rail Pressure
Target Pump SCV Current
Fuel Temperature
Engine Speed
MAF
MAP
Vehicle Speed
Coolant Temp
