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 fuel pump control

module monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running.

* DTC 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 fuel pump control module does not detect a change in the fuel rail pressure of at least 30 kPa (4.4 psi) when the fuel pump is operating at its

minimum or maximum voltage limits for over 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P018B, P018C and P018D are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC 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.
