Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too Low (P008A00)
DESCRIPTION
In order to
supply the optimal fuel pressure according to the driving conditions and
usage environment, the variable fuel system sends a drive signal from
the ECM to the fuel pump control ECU, steplessly performing variable
control of the fuel pump (for low pressure side) and receiving feedback
about the fuel pressure (for low pressure side) from the fuel pressure
sensor (for low pressure side).

P008A00 |
Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too Low |
The
actual fuel pressure (for low pressure side) value is less than the
target fuel pressure (for low pressure side) by a certain amount or more
(1 trip detection logic). |
- Leak of fuel
- Fuel pump control ECU
- Fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side)
- Fuel pump (for low pressure side)
- Fuel main valve assembly (for high pressure)
- ECM
| Does not come on |
DTC stored | SAE Code: P008A |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If
the fuel pressure (for low pressure side) decreases despite an increase
request signal being sent to the fuel pump control ECU by the ECM, the
ECM will store this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
HINT:
Read
Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and
driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is
stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if
the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or
not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the
time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
(a) Check around and beneath the vehicle for fuel leaks, fumes, etc.
OK:
No fuel leaks present.

If
the engine does not stop naturally, perform direct injection by racing
the engine to reduce the fuel pressure [Fuel Pressure (High)] and stop
the engine.
