DTC P0190: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit; DTC P0192: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input; DTC P0193: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input: Description

The fuel pressure sensor is installed on the delivery pipe. The sensor changes fuel pressure to an electrical signal and sends the signal to the ECM. Then the ECM controls the feedback of the pump discharge to maintain the fuel's target pressure between 4 and 13 MPa (40.8 and 132.6 kgf/cm, 2580 and 1885 psi). If the sensor output stops, the ECM will stop the high pressure side fuel pump and supply fuel using the low pressure side fuel pump.

The fuel pressure sensor is installed on a fuel delivery pipe and detects the fuel pressure. It controls feedback of the pump discharge in order to keep the fuel within the target pressure range between 4 and 13 MPa (40.8 and 132.6 kgf/cm2 , 580 and 1885 psi) by the ECM.
