P06A6

DTC P0641 or P06A6 (FPCM)

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.



DTC Descriptors
DTC P0641 00
- 5-Volt Reference Circuit

DTC P06A6 00
- 5-Volt Reference Circuit Performance




Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The fuel pump control module (FPCM) monitors the voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor. These DTCs will set if the FPCM detects that the FRP sensor voltage is out of range.


Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The FPCM detects that the FRP 5-volt reference is above or below a predetermined voltage threshold.
* The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.



Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0641 and P06A6 are A type DTCs.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0641 and P06A6 are A type DTCs.


Diagnostic Aids

Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Failure Records can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect harness connector of the fuel line pressure sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM.


• If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FPCM.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the fuel pressure sensor.



Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
