diagnostic category.
DTC Descriptors
DTC P018B
Fuel Pressure Sensor Performance
DTC P018C
Fuel Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P018D
Fuel Pressure Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The fuel pressure sensor is located on the fuel line. The fuel pressure
sensor monitors the fuel pressure in the
fuel line. The chassis control module monitors the voltage signal from the fuel
pressure sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
- The engine is running.
- DTCs P018C, P018D, P0231, P0232, P023F, P064A, P1255 or P06A6 are not
active.
- DTC P0641 has not failed this ignition cycle.
- Fuel pump control is enabled and the fuel pump control state is normal.
- The engine has been running for at least 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The chassis control module does not detect a change in the fuel pressure of
at least 30 kPa (4.4 psi) when the
fuel pump is operating. The fuel pressure sensor performance diagnostic provides
a means to detect fuel
pressure sensor output that is stuck within the normal operating range of the
sensor.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P018B, P018C and P018D are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P018B, P018C and P018D are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If
you cannot duplicate the DTC, the
information in the Failure Records can help determine how many miles since the
DTC set. The Fail Counter and
Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the diagnostic
test reported a pass and/or a fail.

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running.
- Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is between
0.2-4.8 V.
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
Verify that the fuel tank is not empty. Only perform this diagnostic if
there
is at least 2 gallons of fuel in the fuel tank. Clear the DTC, and start and
run the engine. Verify that the DTC resets before proceeding with the
circuit system testing. If the DTC does not reset, refer to diagnostic aids.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness
connector at the B47 Fuel Pressure
Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2
and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K38 Chassis
Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K38 Chassis Control Module.
- If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition ON.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and
ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K38 Chassis
Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and
ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K38 Chassis Control Module.
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K38 Chassis
Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K38 Chassis Control Module.
- If between 4.8-5.2 V
- Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is less than
1 V.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K38 Chassis
Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K38 Chassis Control Module.
- If less than 1 V
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1
and the 5 V reference circuit
terminal 3, wait 15 seconds.
- Verify the scan tool Fuel Pressure Sensor Voltage parameter is greater
than 4.8 V.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K38 Chassis
Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and
ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K38 Chassis Control Module.
- If greater than 4.8 V
- Test or replace the B47 Fuel Pressure Sensor.
