Circuit/System Testing: P0088

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger ExtendedSECTION P0088
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 AidsΒ .
