P0194-85: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent/Erratic : Positive offset of the rail pressure sensor
exceeded
Overview:
DTC Description (User Friendly)
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent/Erratic:
Positive offset of the rail pressure sensor exceeded.
ECU Pin Number
A042 – 5V supply from EMS to rail pressure sensor
A062 – Input analog signal from rail pressure sensor to EMS
A063 – Gnd supply from EMS to rail pressure sensor
Customer Symptom
Once the engine is started and running - Engine vibrates and
makes noise, Power loss. Engine will stop after delay.
Fault Effects (On Vehicle)
Group Fault for Engine stop after delay gets activated.
Group Fault for disabling pilot injection will get activated
Rail Valve Discharge will be disabled, EGR will be disabled,
Allows the IMV to operate without trim values, Deactivates the
Leak Detection test, Forces the IMV to open fully,
Limits the System Pressure demand to calibratable pressure
in bar, Deactivates the Rail pressure sensing/ Measurement,
Rail Pressure Build measurement is deactivated, Disables the
Rail pressure control fault detection, Limp Home Mode
activated.
Lamp Status (If Any)
MIL Lamp is ON1 and CEL is OFF.
Fault Detection Condition (Root cause)
If the raw value of the rail pressure remains above the
threshold 609 volt for the number of monitoring cycles 3
during startup or above the threshold 609 volt for the number
of monitoring cycles 10 during afterrun, the offset is too great
in the positive direction and the rail pressure sensor will be
classified as defective.
Fault detection time:
During startup 3;
In afterrun 10.
Duration of healing time:
During startup 3;
In afterrun 10
Normal Operating Condition
No faults related to Rail Pressure circuit.
Probable Trouble Area
Rail pressure sensor, ECU, Wiring harness.
Healing Condition
Clear the errors, Ignition OFF to ON, engine idle, fly-up and
specially vehicle running in different speed condition
Component Details:
Rail pressure sensor is a piezoelectric type one, which is used to measure the fuel pressure inside the Rail. It provides the
pressure in terms of voltage to the ECU. This rail possesses an under pressure supply of diesel fuel which is ready to be
used by the injectors. The drop of pressure in the rail is immediately signaled by the sensor to the engine control unit. This
is followed by the restoration of pressure in the pump. It is the engine control unit that controls the fuel supply of the rail
from a pump possessing very high pressure. This is done by using a valve for controlling the pressure of fuel.
