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.
NOTE: Fuel pressure control will be disable if DTC P0087, P0088, P0192, or P0193 are set. Codes must be cleared to enable the device control.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the FRP sensor connector.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Observe the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool The fuel pressure should be 200 MPa (29,000 psi).
    • If the fuel pressure is 0 MPa (0 psi), test the FRP sensor signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Probe the signal circuit terminal 2 with a test lamp connected to ground. The test lamp should not illuminate.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  5. Connect a fused jumper between the FRP signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 1 and observe the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool. The fuel pressure should be 0 MPa (0 psi).
    • If the fuel pressure does not go to 0 MPa (0 psi), test the FRP sensor signal circuit and the low reference circuit for an open. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. 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 all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
  • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage, If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

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.
