ISB/ISBe Series Engines – FAULT CODE 187

Sensor Supply B – Low Voltage


Overview

Sensor Supply B – Low Voltage

CODE REASON EFFECT
Fault Code: 187

LAMP: Yellow
SRT: 

Low voltage detected on the electronic control module (ECM) voltage supply line to fuel rail pressure sensor.

Possible low power.

Sensor Supply B – Low-Voltage Circuit
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

The ECM supplies the fuel pressure sensor with +5 VDC. If the supply line to this sensor is damaged, the sensor will not work correctly.

Component Location

The fuel pressure sensor is located on the high-pressure common rail, which is above the intake manifold housing.

Shop Talk

Low voltage on the sensor +5-VDC supply line can be caused by a short circuit to ground in a supply line, a short circuit between a supply line and a return line, a failed sensor, or a failed ECM power supply. If Fault Codes 187 and 452 are active, begin troubleshooting Fault Code 187 first.
