Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit – Out of Range High
|
Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 118 PID: FMI: LAMP: Red SRT: |
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit – Out of Range High. The fuel rail pressure is high. |
The Centinel™ system will not function. |
|
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor |
![]() |
Circuit Description
The fuel rail pressure sensor monitors the fuel rail pressure. When the sensor fails high or low, the fuel rail pressure sensor fault will occur.
Component Location
The fuel rail pressure sensor is located on the fuel connecting block on the Centinel™ oil control valve mounting bracket.
Cautions and Warnings

Troubleshooting Steps
| STEPS | SPECIFICATIONS | |
|---|---|---|
| STEP 1. | Check the fuel rail pressure sensor. | |
| STEP 1A. Inspect the fuel rail pressure sensor and Centinel™ harness connectors. | No damaged pins | |
| STEP 1B. Check the Centinel™ control module fuel rail pressure sensor supply voltage. | 4.75 to 5.25 VDC | |
| STEP 1C. Check the fuel rail pressure sensor for an open. | Less than 2M ohms | |
| STEP 2. | Check the Centinel™ harness. | |
| STEP 2A. Inspect the Centinel™ harness and the Centinel™ control module connectors. | No damaged pins | |
| STEP 2B. Check for an open circuit. | Less than 10 ohms | |
| STEP 2C. Check for a short circuit to ground. | More than 1k ohms | |
| STEP 2D. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. | More than 1k ohms | |
| STEP 3. | Clear the fault codes. | |
| STEP 3A. Disable the fault code. | Fault Code 118 inactive | |
