INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CHECK FUEL LEAKAGE (HIGH PRESSURE SIDE)

CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0087)

CONFIRM IF VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL IN PAST

CHECK MISFIRE COUNT (CYL #10, #20, #30, #40, #50 AND #60)

CHECK FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

CHECK OPERATION OF FUEL PUMP

CHECK FUEL PRESSURE (LOW PRESSURE SIDE)

CHECK FUEL LEAKAGE (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE)

CHECK RELIEF VALVE

REPLACE FUEL PUMP (HIGH PRESSURE SIDE)

CHECK IF DTC OUTPUT REOCCURS (SEE IF DTC P0087 IS OUTPUT AGAIN)

DTC P0087 Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low

DESCRIPTION

The high-pressure fuel system consists of the spill valve, pump plunger, check valve, relief valve and fuel pressure sensor. The spill valve opens and closes the low-pressure fuel line (from the fuel tank), the pump plunger operated by the camshaft pressurizes fuel, the check valve mechanically opens and closes the high pressure fuel line (to the fuel delivery pipe), the relief valve prevents fuel pressure from becoming extremely high, and the fuel pressure sensor located on the fuel delivery pipe monitors fuel pressure.


The high-pressure side fuel pump is installed to the cylinder head cover (bank 1) and is driven by the cam located at the rear end of the exhaust camshaft.


Let the plunger moves up and down by the camshaft rotations, it produces vacuum to suck fuel and pressurizes the fuel. This fuel then pushes the check valve open and flows into the fuel delivery pipe. The ECM opens and closes the spill valve to regulate the fuel pressure to the target fuel pressure 4 to 13 MPa (40.8 to 132.6 kgf/cm2, 580 to 1,885 psi). In order to obtain and maintain the target pressure, the ECM monitors the fuel pressure using the fuel pressure sensor and performs the feedback control.


If the internal fuel pressure of the fuel delivery pipe exceeds the standard pressure 15 MPa (153 kgf/cm2, 2,175 psi), the fuel relief valve installed on gateway of the fuel delivery pipe discharges the fuel pressure and then returns the fuel back to the fuel tank.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

  • HINT:
If different DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred .
1.CHECK FUEL LEAKAGE (HIGH PRESSURE SIDE)

Check around and beneath the car for gasoline leaks, fumes, etc.

  • OK:
  • No gasoline leaks present.
NG
Go to step 8
C
6.CHECK OPERATION OF FUEL PUMP

Check the fuel pump operation.

NG
Go to step 10
B
9.CHECK RELIEF VALVE

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the intelligent tester ON.

Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Data List / Fuel Press.

Start the engine.

Check that the fuel pressure fluctuations when the fuel hose is pressed with your fingers.

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.

Clear DTCs.

Start the engine.

Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / DTC.

Read the DTCs using the intelligent tester.
