DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy Case 1 Fuel Rail/System pressure low during catalyst heating
  1. Poor Connector Connection
  2. Clogged Fuel Filtter
  3. Restricted Fuel Supply Line
  4. Fuel Leakage
  5. Faulty Fuel Pressure Regulator
  6. Faulty Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
  7. Faulty ECM/PCM
Case 2 Fuel Rail/System pressure high during catalyst heating
Enable Condition
  • Catalyst heating active
    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT) at engine start at between -10°C (14°F) to 43°C (109°F)
    • Vehicle speed is lower than 60km/h (37.2mph)
    • Accelerator pedal value is lower than 0.01% (pedal sensor 1 voltage 0, 859 V, not pushed at all)
  • Volume fuel flow is lower than threshold value
  • Mass fuel flow is higher than 4mg/stroke
  • Engine speed is higher than 512RPM
Threshold Value Case 1
  • Deviation of fuel pressure setpoint higher than 1.5MPa (15bar/217.5psi)
Case 2
