Low Pressure Fuel System Sensor Circuit

Moderate severity

What it means

General electrical fault on the low-pressure fuel system sensor — typically the lift-pump or pre-supply pressure sensor that monitors the rail feeding the high-pressure pump. With no valid reading, the ECM cannot verify that lift pressure is sufficient for HP-pump intake.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Open or shorted wiring to the sensor
