WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Because of the cleansing properties of the biodiesel, switching from the straight diesel to a biodiesel blend can prematurely restrict the fuel filter with normal deposits in the fuel system. A fuel filter replacement might be required sooner than the recommended interval.
P0087
- If DTC P0090, P0168 or P0191 is also set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- Ignition ON for 90 seconds, verify the scan tool FRP Regulator Command parameter is less than 20 percent.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the ECM.
- Attempt to start the engine.
- If the engine does not start, refer to Engine Cranks But Does Not Run .
- Install the CH-48027Β
to the fuel rail service port and slowly increase the engine speed until reaching wide open throttle (WOT). The value should be between 1-4 inches Hg vacuum.
- If more than the specified value, inspect for restricted fuel filter or damaged supply lines.
- If no restriction was found, test for high fuel return flow. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- With the engine idling or at an idle, command the fuel pressure control to 180 MPa (26,106 psi) with a scan tool. Observe the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure parameter. The actual fuel pressure should be the same as the commanded pressure.
- If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than 165 MPa (23,931 psi), refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurs while observing the CH-48027Β
. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
- If the vacuum was more than 12 inches Hg of vacuum at any time in the operating range, inspect for kinked or restricted fuel supply lines.
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for which the customer complaint occurred. Observe the Actual fuel Rail Pressure and Desired Fuel rail Pressure parameters with a scan tool. Fuel pressures should be the same for both parameters.
- If the Actual Fuel Rail Pressure is less than the Desired Fuel Rail Pressure, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side .
- If fuel system tests normal, refer to Diagnostic Aids.
IMPORTANT:
If the fuel temperature is near 121Β°C (250Β°F) during the duplication of the complaint, or in the Failure Records for this DTC, inspect for a restriction in the fuel cooler air flow or the fuel heater always ON. Refer to Fuel Heater Always On
.
P0088
- Start the engine and operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
- Observe the Actual Fuel Pressure parameter with a scan tool. The actual pressure should be 30 MPa (4,352 psi) with the engine idling at operating temperature.
- Command the fuel pressure with a scan tool, incrementing through the entire fuel pressure range. The fuel pressure should increment and stabilize through the entire fuel pressure range with actual and desired fuel pressure within 5 MPa (725 psi) of each other.
- If the pressure difference between the actual and desired pressure are more than 5 MPa (725 psi), test the solenoid supply voltage circuit and the solenoid control circuit for high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the FRP regulator.
- If the pressure difference between the actual and desired pressure is less than 5 MPa (725 psi), refer to Diagnostic Aids.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
