P00CA

What it means

Supply voltage to fuel pressure regulator A solenoid above expected range — typically charging system overvoltage. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
