DTC P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Too Low

Description Thecommonrailfuelsystemiscomprisedoftwofuelpressuresections:asuctionsidebetweenthefueltankandthefuel supplypumpandahigh-pressuresidebetweenthefuelsupplypumpandthefuelinjectors.Fuelisdrawnfromthefueltank viaafeedpumpandthenpumpedintothefuelrailbytwoplungers,allofwhichareinternaltothefuelsupplypump.Thishigh pressureisregulatedbytheECMusingthefuelrailpressure(FRP)regulatordependantuponvaluesfromtheFRPsensor attachedtothefuelrail.Incaseoffuelrailoverpressure,apressurelimitervalvethreadedintothefuelrailwillopentorelease overpressureandreturnfuelbacktothefueltank.IftheECMdetectsthatthefuelrailpressurewentexcessivelyhigh,then sharplydecreased,thisDTCwillsetindicatinghighfuelpressure,whichactivatedthepressurelimitervalve.

AskewedFRPsensorvaluecansetthisDTC.TheFRPSensoronthescantoolshouldread0.9to1.0volt aftertheenginehasstoppedrunningforaminimumof30seconds. Important: If the fuel tank is empty or near empty, air might be allowed to go into the fuel system. With air in the fuel system, smooth flow of fuel into the supply pump is interrupted and this DTC may set. Perform bleeding of fuel system after refilling. Test Description

Isthereaninjectorthatdoesnotchangeengine speedwhencommandedOFF? 1.Inspectthefuelsystemlineconnections betweenthefueltankandthefuelsupplypump fortightnessandallfuelhosesforcuts,cracks andfortheuseofproperclamps. Notice: The fuel system from the fuel tank(s) to the fuel supply pump is under a slight vacuum with the engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel system if these connections are not tight. Air in the fuel system will cause fuel rail pressure fluctuations especially at high engine speed and load, which may set this DTC. 2.Pumptheprimingpumpuntilitbecomesfirm.If thereisaleakonthesuctionsideofthefuel systembetweentheprimingpumpandthefuel supplypump,theprimingpumpwillnotbuildup sufficientfirmnessandfuelleakagemayoccur. 3.Starttheengineandcheckforhighsidefuel systemleaksatthefuelsupplypumpandfuel rail. Notice: Fuel may leak under the cylinder head cover from the inlet high pressure line. In such case, the engine oil level will rise. Inspect for fuel leakage into the engine oil. 4.Repairanyfuelsystemleaksasnecessary.
