The ECM controls the internal fuel pressure of the common rail assembly by opening and closing the pressure discharge valve. When sudden deceleration occurs, the internal fuel pressure will temporarily become higher than usual and combustion noise may result. Therefore the ECM will open the valve temporarily to discharge the excess pressure inside the common rail assembly. Also, the pressure discharge valve opens when the engine switch is turned off to allow prompt discharge of the common rail internal pressure and so that the engine stops smoothly.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

P1271 (Open or short in pressure discharge valve circuit):

This DTC will be stored if there is no valve opening confirmation (IJf) signal sent from the injector driver to the ECM despite the ECM commanding the injector driver to open the pressure discharge valve. This DTC refers to an open or short circuit malfunction of the pressure discharge valve circuit, not a malfunction in which a valve is stuck open or closed.

The injector driver monitors the current supplied to the pressure discharge valve to verify that the current flows into the valve. If the current exceeds the specified level, the injector driver interprets this as the IJf signal being low. If this DTC is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode and limits engine power. The ECM continues operating in fail-safe mode until the engine switch is turned off.

P1272 (Pressure discharge valve stuck closed):

The pressure discharge valve will open and discharge the internal fuel pressure from the common rail to the fuel tank when the engine switch is turned off. In this event, the ECM compares the actual drop rate of the internal fuel pressure and the target drop rate. If the ECM judges that the actual drop rate is smaller than the target, the ECM then determines that the valve is stuck closed and stores this DTC. This DTC will be stored if the internal fuel pressure does not drop to the target after the engine switch has been turned off.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode and limits engine power. The ECM continues operating in fail-safe mode until the engine switch is turned off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration () and initialization ().

After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization ().

After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration ().

HINT:

After completing repairs, confirm that P1271 and/or P1272 does not recur.

If P062D (No. 1 injector driver) and P1271 are present simultaneously, there is an open in the INJF wire harness between the injector driver and ECM, or there is an open in the wire harness for both an injector assembly and the pressure discharge valve.
