Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Verify there is fuel in the fuel tank before continuing with this test procedure.
- With the scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs and Freeze Frame Data and record on the repair order.NOTE:
If there are any Fuel Pressure Sensor or Fuel Pump Control Module DTCs present, repair those DTCs.
- Using the recorded Freeze Frame Data and the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.
Is the DTC active or pending?
Yes

.
- CHECK FOR EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (K181) FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL (FRPS) CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the FRPS harness connector.
- Disconnect both PCM C2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (K181) FRPS Signal circuit between the FRPS harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (K181) FRPS Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK FOR EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (K917) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
- Measure the resistance of the (K917) Sensor Ground circuit between the FRPS harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (K917) Sensor Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (K917) Sensor Ground circuit between the FRPS harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
- CHECK THE (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit between the FRPS harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (F855) Sensor Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit between the FRPS harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
- CHECK THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Reconnect both PCM C1 and C2 harness connectors.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
- While monitoring scan tool, connect a jumper between the (K181) FRPS Signal circuit and the (K917) Sensor Ground circuit at the FRPS harness connector.NOTE:
The PCM should display the DTC P0183-00-FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH DTC with the connector unplugged and P0182-00-FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW with the jumper in place.
Does the scan tool display the DTCs as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, FUEL RAIL PRESSURE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 8
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
