GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Fuel pressure regulator valve is integrated with high pressure pump and controls common rail pressure as regulating the quantity of fuel which is delivered to common rail. In order to control rail pressure to be optimum to current driving condition, ECM controls fuel pressure regulator operating current(with the method of duty-control) using Rail pressure regulator valve signal, RPM and APS signal.The lower Fuel pressure regulator valve current is, the more fuel is supplied to common rail. Thus it leads rail pressure to be high. On the contrary, the higher Fuel pressure regulator valve current is, the less fuel is supplied to common rail. Thus it leads rail pressure to be low. Therefore, when Fuel pressure regulator valve current becomes "0", as if there is open spot in Fuel pressure regulator valve circuit or connector is disconnected, maximum fuel quantity is supplied to common rail, so the pressure of common rail rise to maximum value.

DTC DESCRIPTION

P0253 is set when "0"A in control circuit of Fuel pressure regulator valve(integrated with high pressure pump) is detected for more than 0.22 sec.. This code is due to open of short to ground in control circuit or Fuel pressure regulator valve internal open.

MONITOR SCANTOOL DATA
1.

Connect Scantool to Data Link Connector (DLC).

2.

Warm engine up to normal operating temperature.

3.

Turn "OFF" electrical devices and A/C.

4.

note

The waveform of fuel pressure regulator valve installed at high pressure pump(fuel detecting MPROP) shows 38% duty at idle, duty drops to approx. 32% at acceleration to raise rail pressure. Duty drop means the decrease of current.

→ Fuel delivered to common rail increases as current drops.

The waveform of rail pressure regulator valve installed at common rail shows 19% duty at idle, duty rises to approx. 48% at acceleration to raise rail pressure. Duty rise means the increase of current.

→ If current rises, the returning quantity of fuel deliverd to common rail decreases and common rail pressure rises.

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1.

Electrical systems consist of a lot of harness and connectors, poor connection of terminals can cause various problems and damge of component.

2.

Perform checking procedure as follows.

(1)

Check damage of harness and terminals : Check terminals for contact resistance, corrosion and deformation.

(2)

Check connecting condition of ECM and component connector : Check terminal seperation, damage of locking device and connecting condition between terminal and wiring.

note

Disconnect the pin which requires checking at male connector and insert it to the terminal at female connector for checking connecting condition. ( after checking, reconnect the pin at correct position. )

3.
