    P0192 Fuel Pressure Sensor Low

    Theory of Operation

    The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor with a 5-Volt supply and sensor ground, and receives a signal voltage back from the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure in the fuel rail. The PCM will light the MIL lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails. During this time the customer may experience a power and or speed derate. The PCM will turn off the MIL light after the diagnostic runs and passes in four consecutive drive cycles.

    When Monitored and Set Conditions

    • When Monitored:

    With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 Volts.

    Set Condition:

    One or both of the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) falls
    below a calibrated threshold for a certain period of time.

    Possible Causes

    FRP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
    FRP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE SENSOR RETURN
    FRP SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
    FRP SENSOR
    POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
    Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-
    Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
