Circuit Description

The rail fuel pressure sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor fuel pressure.

Component Location

The rail fuel pressure sensor is located on the bottom front corner of the integrated fuel system module (IFSM). Refer to Section E for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk

The rail fuel pressure sensor shares supply and return wires in the engine harness with other sensors. Opens and shorts in the engine harness can cause multiple fault codes to be active. Before troubleshooting fault code 546, check for multiple faults.

Possible causes of this fault code include:

  • Open return circuit in the engine harness, connectors, or sensor.
  • Signal circuit shorted to sensor supply or battery voltage.
  • Sensor supply circuit shorted to battery voltage.

Refer to Troubleshooting Fault Code t05-546
