What the P0193 code means. The power control module (PCM) has detected that the fuel pressure is not within a range that has been predetermined by the vehicle manufacturer. When this happens the P0193 trouble code will be stored by the power control module and the Check Engine Light will come on.

What does Ford code P0193 mean?

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0193 stands for “Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor “A” Circuit High.” It is logged when the PCM perceives that the signal from the fuel rail pressure sensor exceeds the calibrated limit over a specified amount of time.

What are the symptoms of a bad fuel pressure sensor?

Symptoms of a faulty mass airflow sensor include hard starts, stalling after starting, engine hesitation during acceleration and engine hiccups. Excessive idling can be another symptom. A faulty mass air flow sensor may also have similar symptoms to low fuel pressure, which indicates a bad fuel pump.

How do you test a fuel pressure sensor?

Test the fuel rail pressure sensor, using a digital volt ohmmeter , as the engine is running. The meter should have a reading of 5-volts. If there is a 5 volt reading, then check the ground wire for a low resistance. If there is a low resistance, then check the fuel pressure sensor and see if there is a resistance.

Where is the fuel pressure sensor switch located?

The fuel sender is the assembly that holds the fuel pump. On the side tank, the fuel pressure sensor is located on the upper portion of the front of the tank assembly. The sensor is attached directly to the body of the side fuel tank.

What does a fuel tank sensor do?

The fuel tank pressure sensor is part of the fuel pump assembly and is mounted on top of the tank or inside the tank. It’s part of the evaporative emissions system (commonly referred to as “EVAP”) and reads pressure in the fuel system to detect evaporative leaks, such as a loose or faulty gas cap.
