SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P008A00

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

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 and receiving feedback about the fuel pressure (for low pressure side) 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 (for low pressure side) value less than target fuel pressure (for low pressure side) by threshold or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Leak of fuel

  • Fuel pump control ECU

  • Fuel pressure sensor (fuel delivery pipe with sensor assembly) (for low pressure side)

  • Fuel pump (for low pressure side)

  • Fuel main valve assembly (for high pressure)

  • ECM

 Does not come on DTC stored SAE Code: P008A

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FUEL LEAK


    1. Check around and beneath the vehicle for fuel leaks, fumes, etc.

      OK
      No fuel leaks present.

  4. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE FUEL PUMP DUTY RATIO)


    1. Discharge the fuel pressure.

      Tech Tips

      DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the GTS.


      1. Remove the FUEL PMP fuse from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.

      2. Start the engine.

      3. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the engine switch off.

      4. Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.

      5. Install the FUEL PMP fuse.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump Duty Ratio / Data List / Fuel Pressure (Low).


      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
      Active Test Display
      Control the Fuel Pump Duty Ratio
      Data List Display
      Fuel Pressure (Low)

    6. Read the value displayed on the GTS when the Active Test was performed.

      Standard
      GTS Operation Standard
      Low to High When switching from Low to High, Fuel Pressure (Low) value changes

      Tech Tips

      Once the fuel pressure becomes high, the fuel pressure will not decrease, even when switched from High to Low. Therefore, make sure that the fuel pressure is low before checking that the fuel pressure changes when switching from Low to High.
