ALLDATAdiy.com - 2008 Chevy Truck Silverado 2500 2WD V8-6.6L DSL Turbo - P0191 http://www.alldatadiy.com/alldatadiy/DIY~V113757376~C44884~R0~OD~N/0/128809663/13...

The fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a signal circuit, and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage on the FRP
sensor circuits. When the fuel pressure is high, the signal voltage is high. When the fuel pressure is low, the signal voltage is low. The fuel pressure regulator has a solenoid
supply voltage circuit and a solenoid control circuit. The ECM controls the fuel pressure regulator, which regulates high pressure fuel that goes to the fuel injector rails and the
injectors.

Conditions for Running the DTC

DTCs P0016, P062F, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0192, P0193, P0652 or P0653 are not set.
The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF for 30 seconds.
The coolant temperature has dropped more than 5°C (9°F) since Last Key Cycle.
The FRP sensor voltage is between 352-650 volts. OR
The ignition has been off less than 70 seconds.
The fuel temperature is more than 60°C (140°F).
The FRP sensor voltage is between 352-650 volts.
This diagnostic runs continuously within the above conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The FRP sensor is below 0.352 volt or above 0.650 volt when the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF. OR
The FRP sensor is below 0.352 volt or above 0.650 volt within 70 seconds of the ignition being turned OFF.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0191 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0191 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

Important:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
If you cannot duplicate the condition, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions
that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.

1. Verify that DTCs P0652 or P0653 are not set.

If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

2. Observe the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool. During engine cranking, the pressure should be at least 10 MPa. With the engine running at idle, the
pressure should be close to the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure. As the engine speed increases, the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure and the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure should
closely match each other.
3. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0191 should not set.
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: Fuel pressure control will be disable if DTC P0087, P0088, P0192, or P0193 are set. Codes must be cleared to enable the device control.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.

2. Disconnect the ECM connector and the fuel pressure regulator connector.
3. Test the fuel pressure regulator solenoid supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage.
4. Disconnect the FRP sensor.
5. Test the FRP signal circuit, the 5-volt reference circuit, and the low reference circuit for high resistance.

If all circuits test normal, replace the FRP sensor.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. See: Verification Tests
