    Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Quick-Fix
    The Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor value is used by the ECM to control the Fuel-Pump rotational speed and injection. It measures the fuel pressure at the injectors. Here are the facts about the fuel-rail-pressure-sensor.
    1) The only reason why the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor was developed was to make the Fuel-Pump last longer.
    2) Before the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor was developed, the fuel pump was always woking at 100% load.
    3) Using the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor, the fuel pump module regulates the pump's rotational speed, according to engine load.
    4) The Fuel-Pump module computer sends a Pulse-Width-Modulation signal to the fuel pump.
    5) At idle, the need for excess fuel is reduced, so the fuel pump's speed is reduced, with input from the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor.
    6) The Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor has 3 wires, the sensor ground, 5 volt reference and the signal wire.
    7) The Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor is used on returnless fuel systems.
    8) A vacuum hose is used in the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor to take engine vacuum into consideration when measuring the fuel pressure. It takes less pressure to flow fuel at high vacuum, idle, than at wide-open-throttle. This vacuum hose often leaks fuel with sensor damaged.
    9) To test the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor, disconnect the sensor, jump sensor signal to the 5 volt reference, then jump signal to sensor ground. You shoul see close to 5 volts and zero volts respectively. That proves the sensor wiring.
    10) It is possible to test the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor response signal, but such test is 99% of the time unnecessary. This is due to the newer smart vehicle ECMs and the rationality checks done on the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor.
    Finally, if faced with a Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor code, first test the wiring as mentioned here. Then, make sure the fuel pump can deliver a full charge, by either actuating the fuel pump using a scanner or manually energizing the fuel pump at 100% load. Compare reading at the fuel pressure gauge. A fuel volume gauge may also be needed to do this test. That's it for the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Quick-Fix.

    the fuel rail pressure sensor was also made to lower the electrical load on the alternator and help fuel economy. The vaccuum line was put in place for safety in case of rupture of the sensor's diaphragm, instead of a fire you get a rough idle + ultra-bad fuel economy.

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому +1

      Ok, I think you're getting the technologies confused. This video is on FRP sensor for gasoline engines NON-Direct Injection. The Vacuum line is to take engine vacuum into consideration. It takes less pressure to flow the same fuel volume on an idle high vacuum engine, than at wide-open-throttle. ELectrical load has nothing to do with it. The newer High-Pressure-Direct-Injection gasoline engines also have a FRP sensor, but no vacuum hose and operate at over 1000PSI.

    • @thunderstruckter666
      @thunderstruckter666 10 років тому +1

      ADPTraining well i believe you get confused too so that's great!!! How can you get the exact pressure reading at all times with only one diaphragm and one signal going out when vacuum is supposed to mess with that same signal? Isn't the ECM informed anyways with calculated vacuum values with the engine load/rpm/MAF grams per secon and all??? And yes, a fuel pump that is controlled instead of just turned on will used less current to run so it lowers the electrical load.

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому +4

      There is no diaphragm on these sensors. They're solid state strain gauge. Most modern gasoline direct injection vehicles don't use MAP sensors anymore. The FRP sensor internally makes a correction according to vacuum. The load on the car is slightly alleviated by an Amp or so, but that's negligible. The purpose of the FRP sensor is to allow the ECM or Fuel-Module to control it's speed by Duty-Cycle control and thereby extending its life.

    To ADP Training: I just came across this video. I have a 2010 Ford Explorer. I had to replace the vacuum harness that goes to the EGR, the AC damper control and apparently to the FRP Sensor. I could never get to that connection under the manifold so I left it off. ( I believe I plugged the vacuum line). So my FRP sensor does not have a vacuum input. I am getting fault code P0193, fuel rail pressure sensor circuit high input. I have ignored it for a long time. My fuel mileage has actually improved since I replace the broken vacuum lines (as expected). Recently I started have issues where the Explorer would start to sputter and die and then restart while I was driving it. Could that be related to not connecting the vacuum line to the FRP Sensor. My OBDII connected to the Torque Application (Android) will not show fuel rail pressure at all. The graph shows up put the data is empty.

      Get a simple OBD-2 scanner and get the right vacuum diagram. All vac hoses have to be connected.

    Hello Greetings I need your help please,
    I have a zx2 99 and my fuel trim long climbs to 10%
    I think that is something the fuel rail injection pressure sensor that put a gauge on the rail and mark idle 30 psi, to connect the multimeter to the sensor gives me a voltage 2.8 volts, disconnecting the vacuum hose rises to 40 psi gauge but the voltage remains unchanged at 2.8 volt this is normal operation of the sensor? and change it 2 times used sensors and they all work the same way or buy a new one or do I do?

    A closed "constant pressure" system is used to reduce gasoline evaporation. Return line systems cooled the injectors & purged air, but heating the fuel causes more fumes. Bad for the environment. Bad for mechanics too!

    hi, are u saying, the fuel pressure sensor works by sensing the vaccum in fuel rail?. and not the fuel pressure in the line.

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому

      There is no vacuum in the fuel rail. The FRP sensor is connected to intake vacuum. It takes into account the intake vacuum. The fuel delivery changes depending on the vacuum condition, as stated in the video.

    • @sivucit
      @sivucit 10 років тому

      Quite didnot understand, FRP is fuel rail pressure sensor, so are u saying FRP sensor calculate fuel rail pressure just by looking at vaccum?.. or it consider both vaccum and fuel raill pressure ?.

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому

      That's right, both are considered for the reason I explained before...

      Yes of course. Also look at the Fuel Trims on your scanner. See my Ebooks. www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/

      Damn bet. I’m having an issue with a no codes lean condition and I replaced the frps so I’ll just unplug it and do that for a band aid
      Fuel pump and all injectors are working correctly. Good duty cycles and everything. Might be a vacuum leak but I feel like that’d throw a code.

  • @SteveRobReviews
    @SteveRobReviews 10 років тому +2

    IF YOU JUMP THE 5V REF TO SIGNAL AND THE SIGNAL HAS A SHORT TO GROUND YOU MIGHT COOK THE 5V REF REGULATOR IN THE ECM. JUMPING THE SIGNAL TO GROUND TO SEE 0V IS OK EVEN IF THE SIGNAL IS SHORTED TO GROUND. A SAFER WAY TO JUMP THE REF TO SIGNAL IS TO USE A 5K OHM RESISTOR.

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому +1

      Forget the 5K Ohm resistor. NO jumping the 5v Ref. will not hurt anything. The 5 volt reference is protected ALWAYS, otherwise if a sensor shorts out the ECM is fried. NO, it doesn't happen. It's nice that you're being careful, but not necessary. Instead of a 5K resistor, use the actual test light. The light bulb will give you piece of mind, it won't protect any circuit because no protection is needed.

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews 10 років тому +1

      heavily protected 5v reference wire I agree and so far I have not damaged an ecm yet but I have shorted the reference wire and lost all communication until regulator re-booted. I guess I don't want to burn up a lot of time if I can avoid it. Both ways work. Cheers !!

    • @ADPTraining
      @ADPTraining  10 років тому

      Steve Rob Now you're talking. Yes, the ECM shuts power to the 5 volt reference and resets afterwards. Also, you bright a good point and one that can BENEFIT a lot of folks, in almost all cases, the vehicle communications network goes down when the 5 volt reference is shorted. YES, IMPORTANT and I use capital to alert people to read this post. So, when faced with a No-Communications symptom, also check the 5 volt reference at different sensors. Doesn't take long. If shorted, then look for the shorted sensor and disconnect it. You'll have the COMM network back to life right away.
