Code No. P0192: Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input








OPERATION



  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the rail pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 70) and earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 88) from the rail pressure sensor (terminal No. 3).
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 64) from the rail pressure sensor output terminal (terminal No. 2).

FUNCTION



  • The rail pressure sensor converts the rail pressure into a voltage signal and inputs the signal to the engine-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU corrects the fuel injection quantity.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Conditions
  • Battery positive voltage is 8 - 16 V
  • 2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in "ON" position or the engine has started up.
Judgment Criterion
  • The rail pressure sensor output voltage is 0.70 V or less.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed rail pressure sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in rail pressure sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
