DTC Descriptors
DTC P0089 00: Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance Malfunction
DTC P0089 11: Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance High Input
DTC P0089 12: Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance Low Input
DTC P0089 18: Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance Low Signal Amplitude
DTC P0089 19: Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance High Signal Amplitude
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses commanded fuel pump flow to determine a desired fuel rail pressure. The ECM monitors fuel rail pressure with the fuel rail pressure sensor. The Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid is used to control the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. The Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid is pulse width modulated (PWM). The engine control module (ECM) supplies the voltage directly to the Fuel Pressure Regulator Solenoid. The ECM controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The DTCs runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0089 00
The ECM detects that the fuel rail pressure is above the maximum threshold while the pressure is controlled by the fuel rail pressure regulator.
P0089 11
The ECM detects that the fuel rail pressure is above the maximum threshold while the pressure is controlled by the fuel rail pressure regulator.
P0089 12
The ECM detects that the fuel rail pressure is below the minimum threshold when the pressure is controlled by the fuel pressure regulator.
P0089 18
Positive deviation and set point value of the fuel volume flow through the fuel pressure regulator exceeded concerning set flow of fuel.
P0089 19
Negative rail pressure deviation and the set point value of fuel volume through the fuel pressure regulator is less than or equal to the minimum value.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | DTCs P0089 00, P0089 11, and P0089 12 are Type A DTCs. |
• | DTCs P0089 18, and P0089 19 are Type B DTCs. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• | DTCs P0089 00, P0089 11, and P0089 12 are Type A DTCs. |
• | DTCs P0089 18, and P0089 19 are Type B DTCs. |
Diagnostic Aids
• | A restricted fuel supply line, a leakage in the high pressure section, too much or too little fuel in the low pressure line may cause DTCs to set. When ambient temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), the fuel tank pickup screen may be iced over from water in the fuel tank. |
• | High Resistance in either circuit of the Fuel Pressure Regulator will cause a DTC to set. |
• | There are no driveability concerns associated with the fuel rail pressure regulator unless a DTC is present. One of the causes of these DTCs is a sticking fuel rail pressure regulator. |
• | If the fuel system pressure is actually too high, a fuel knock and smoke condition will exist. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that no other DTCs are set.
- Engine running, observe the scan tool DTC information parameter. DTCs P0087, P0088, or P0089 should not set.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. Verify the fuel pump turns ON.
- Ignition OFF, install the EN 49799 Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter and the EN 49495 Fuel Pressure Gauge to the fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter assembly. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal .
- Ignition ON, verify the fuel pressure is between 414-483 kPa (60-70 PSI).
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q18 Fuel Pressure Regulator.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
- Ignition ON, test for 3-4 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Inspect and repair one of the following conditions:
Low Pressure
• | Injection nozzle stuck in open position |
• | Leakage in the fuel rail pressure regulator |
• | Worn fuel injection pump |
High Pressure
• | Fuel injection pump stuck open |
• | Fuel pressure regulator stuck closed |
• | Restricted fuel injector |
