Hi John the voltages are duty cycled permanent live and the earth is switched on by the ECU (earth switch system) the reason your getting 9v is because your measuring the earth from the ECU trigger wire. The most likely case for low fuel pressure is your injectors . The injectors need power to both open and close and are common to stick
Hi john what you done in the fuel return pipe I see you removed the one way valve why that? I have this prob P0087/P0088 and I breached my head to resolve it and nothing for now thanks
I think that voltage with low amperage from mcu to check if that part work properly or not,it's a check signal ,when you start the engine it will switch on the power to the relay to het get energised
have the exact same issue with a 2.0 tdi with CBB engine, the HPFP exploded. I replaced it and cleaned everything. the car runs perfect but i get p0087 every so often.
I'm having same issue as well. Get the code then limp mode. After shutting car off and restarting it comes out of limp and runs normal for awhile. Very intermittent
Maybe a bad ground in your wiring harness? Im having a simular issue with the 2013 2.0 TDI. Im getting an intermittent P0087 and the car looses power. Wont go over 2000rpms. But after shutting the car off and restarting it goes back to normal operation. Eventually the check engine light will go off. However, after about 100-200 miles it will do the same thing all over again.
Had a problem recently with this engine VW golf plus when I changed the fuel filter, you need a computer to bleed the system alternatively hot wiring the fuel pump (in fuel tank) and the fuel pressure regulator, for 30 seconds, appeared to do the trick, who said they don't make car's the way the use to?
When ypu want to change de fuel filter, you dont need any computer or software! Just fill up the filter housing with diesel fuel and then insert the filter. It will start without any problem!
While the explaination is good ,there may also be a fault in the suction control valve, which gives the same symptom.. and it may have nothing to do with fuel regulator
I’m in the same boat now with my cjaa I changed everything except the injectors I just cleaned them and the car won’t run so ……. I’m glad I found your video I was about to do all the same tests 😂😂 I guess I’m changing the injectors now and re coding them with my cheap xtool vag401 😂👍🏻 Thanks for making this video it just saved me a bunch of time
Dear John, there is no problem with your regulator. there is about 5 v at your negative pin, so you are measuring it 4 volt, you measure 9volt because your are measuring it with your ground. you can check your valve while car running... you will measure similar voltage at both pins like in this video... ua-cam.com/video/h-pinclexQk/v-deo.html
First, very sorry for ignoring this channel for so long. Basically for educational videos for my high school/college classes, and I retired 3 years ago, but recently started a new channel, I'll post a vid about that this evening still. ANYWAYS... if you are still wondering... the big thing I did not understand when I made this video is that the control signals are Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) as opposed to just strict DC voltage levels. A whole level up in sophistication! So I was never going to see the signals I was expecting using my basic voltmeter. It turns out there was nothing wrong with the pressure regulator. The real problem was with the injectors- the metalic micro particles that went through the whole fuel system and disabled them. I tried my best to repair the injectors, but in the end, I bought new ones, the car fired up, and I was able to take it to the dealer to basically cash in on the buyback deal! So yes, I bought and installed new injectors to drive the car a couple miles to the dealer for buy-back. I still love these cars a ton, and I was able to obtain two 2015 TDI's (last year made) for my wife and I. Plan to keep them till the end! The fuel pump risk was indeed a really big quality snafu. Anyways, hope this might STILL help in some way. All the best!
Good day all. John, it is ok to have reading you see when the engine is not running. The Valve is controlled via negative PWM ( pulse width modulation) signal from the ECM. I.e, there is always Battery + voltage on the valve, and the negative is applies as pulses by ECM, which receives data from Pressure Sensor on the other side of the rail. By adjusting pulse width, the ECM controls rail pressure. I've read a lot of theory and have great practical experience fixing CRD problems, after my Wrangler 2.8 CRD system rebuilt.
UNICAPRO I HAVE CRAYSLER 300C 3.0 CRD WITH p0087 code LOW PRESSURE and cant start my car ( i hear noise fuel pump in tank but i am not sure is that ok ?) i can start car with startspray and than car work normaly but i cant start car normaly on key
@@peterlaskov5954 there is somewhere a pressure leak. If you are able to start with spray and cars then works bormsl, then your high pressure pump is ok. 2 things to check. 1. Injectirs leakback volume. Most likely your injectors are leaking at low pressure. Replace the return valve assembly, it should be ok. 2. Nit enough supply pressure to high pressure pump. Less likely.
@@peterlaskov5954 if they are new, check fuel pressure regulator on back of fuel rail. It is pretty warm outside otherwise Id say its glow plugs. But still its more likely injectors

@@tommyt4062 yes I did find my problem... when I was changing a fuel pressure regulator I didint know I have to test the valve using VCDs in engine control module... after when I test it problem gone
You don't have a Regulator problem. The ratings you are receiving are perfect. The Bleed Off is commanded by the ECU, so it will only occur when the 250bar minimum is measured by the Pressure Sensor, that will trigger the Fuel Pressure Regulator at that time. Vehicle needs to be running or cranking over for that process to occur. You have swarf in your Injectors I bet. You should always professionally test the Injectors and replace where necessary. Just simply looking at them is not enough. Replace the Fuel Filter and clean out the Common Rail too. Some go as far as replacing the in Tank Pump and cleaning out the Fuel Tank too.
Those regulators are single use. Once you pull them off the rail, they need to be replaced. They use a knife edge seal that crushes when installed. They have very specific torque and a 3 step process.
Hi there did you find the problem because I've got the same problem with my Passat 2009 2.0tdi. Broken HP Fuel pump which had been replaced with new one checked all the injectors all good accept the fault Low fuel pressure in the rail!
The regulator was fine, the real issue was small metal particles from the "exploded" pump got to the injectors so they were not seating properly. Only a tiny amount of leakage there will shut down the high pressure in the rail. New injectors solved the problem, but that must be preceded by cleaning the entire fuel system which is a major ordeal. My hunch is that you may THINK the injectors are OK, as I did, but it does not take much leakage at all to compromise the whole thing, and rail pressure will not be maintained.
One wire will be live and the other wire will be a signal wire. The signal wire will run back to the ecu and tell it percentage the outer casing will be ground. If you research your fuel pressure sensor you will see that most likely got 3 wires. One is live aprox 5v next will be signal wire this tells the ecu how much fuel pressure there is . Usual has a voltage coming from the ecu of around 0.5v and 3rd you guessed it ground .on petrols i have noticed the ecu usually controls the negative side of the injectors Not sure about diesels tho So injector will have a direct main feed from solid 12v supply and the ecu will basically open a passage up and tell it when to inject fuel
These electronic fuel rail pressure regulators have two connections. You're saying one is live one is signal and the metal casing is ground? What should be is the reading at key on?
Do you have an ideea if the pressure regulator should hold without being connected an amount if pressure?if I try to blow on mine with my mouth I cand do it very simple with no resistance at all. The question is, if this valve is not able to contain some pressure while not being connected or the engine is off, then all the diesel from the rail could go to the filer, thus leaving the rail empty.Thank you!
Hi. Just because you didn't sound very confident about pressures in rail ... system supposed to build up between 250-300 bars to start the engine. After that it goes up to 1600-2000 bars depends on your foot ;) ... other then that nice video

Hey Adriann, no, the regulator should not keep any pressure if no power is supplied, if you switch your engine off and you have a VCDS connected to the car you should see that the pressure drops at about 10 bar...witch is ok!
And how is the pressure kept at 10 bar in the ramp if the pressure regulator is not closed?because all the diesel goes back to the fuel fileter/gas tank.
Adrian Madalin Vasiloiu actually is not 10 bar is 1.5 to 2 bar, and this value is kept by the fuel filter, this is the default pressure of the fuel system!
Hi John the voltages are duty cycled permanent live and the earth is switched on by the ECU (earth switch system) the reason your getting 9v is because your measuring the earth from the ECU trigger wire.

Having the same issue
Did you ever find the solution?
I'm having same issue as well. Get the code then limp mode. After shutting car off and restarting it comes out of limp and runs normal for awhile. Very intermittent
Try measuring it while cranking, bet the ecu grounds that wire
Could you have not just took that rubber hose off the end of the rail and see if the fuel bleeds out when cranking?
Yes, that would have been easier! Also do a leak back test on the injectors, which is easy - just look for return flow from them

John what was the outcome, did you need to replace the regulator?
M'y ibiza 1.6 tdi 2013 code Error p228D ?? Solution please
If the solenoid doesn't click, does that mean the needle is stuck, assuming the electromagnetic is working. Is the there a way to unstick it?
You can also test this valve using diagnostic tester as well
I have the same exact problem when I connect the sensor voltage just disappears from 8v to 0. Is it normal? How did you fix it?
Read my response above to @GrinningGser if it still applies to you. It was the corrupted injectors
Inspection of the screen under a magnifier...in my case turned out little spec's.. of metal...
That's really bad news, means the particles went everywhere. Hope this resolved OK.
