Component Description
K20 Engine Control Module The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
Q18A Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 & Q18C Fuel Pressure Regulator 3 The fuel pressure regulator is a solenoid valve that restricts the flow of fuel to the high pressure fuel pump and thereby controls the pressure the pump can produce. Q18A, Q18C is part of the component: G18 Fuel Pump - High Pressure
Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 The fuel pressure regulator is the solenoid valve that controls the pressure in the fuel rail.

Conditions for Running the DTC DTCs related to the following system/component = Not Set – B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor – B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor – R29 Fuel Filter – Q14A Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve 1 – Q14B Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve 2 – Q18A Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 – Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 – Q18C Fuel Pressure Regulator 3 – Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve – Q38 Throttle Body Accelerator Pedal Position = Less than 0.05% Deceleration Fuel Cut-Off = Active — For greater than 13 s Engine = Running Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor = 68 to 126°C (154 to 259°F) Fuel Temperature Sensor = 5 to 80°C (41 to 176°F) Ignition and Start Signal = Greater than 11 V Transmission = Gear 4, 5, 6 Vehicle Speed Sensor = Greater than 0 km/h (0 MPH) Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met Conditions for Setting the DTC

  1. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  2. Verify there are no DTCs set, except DTC P1089, related to the following system/component: Fuel System ⇒ If a related DTC is set Refer to: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle ⇓ If a related DTC is not set

  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. Verify the DTC does not set. ⇒ If the DTC sets Refer to: Circuit/System Testing ⇓ If the DTC does not set
  5. All OK. Circuit/System Testing
  6. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
  7. Verify the following conditions do not exist: B47B Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor — Poor Connection / Skewed Fuel — Contaminated / Poor Quality » Refer to: Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis & Fuel System Specifications Fuel System — Leaking » Refer to: Fuel Leak Diagnosis ⇒ If a condition exists Repair or replace as necessary ⇓ If no condition exists
  8. Engine » Idling
  9. Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Pressure Sensor = 370 to 450 kPa (54 to 65 PSI) ⇒ If less than 370 kPa (54 PSI) Refer to: Fuel System Diagnosis ⇒ If greater than 450 kPa (65 PSI) Refer to: Fuel Return System Diagnosis ⇓ If between 370 and 450 kPa (54 and 65 PSI)
  10. Perform the following procedure/test: Cylinder Power Balance Test Verify the procedure/test passes. ⇒ If the procedure/test does not pass Replace the component that failed the test: Q17 Fuel Injector ⇓ If the procedure/test passes
  1. Perform the scan tool control function: Fuel Pressure Control - Regulator 1 » Increase & Decrease Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor = The value should change with each command. ⇒ If the value does not change Replace the component: G18 Fuel Pump - High Pressure ⇓ If the value changes
  2. Perform the scan tool control function: Fuel Pressure Control - Regulator 2 » Increase & Decrease Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor = The value should change with each command. ⇒ If the value does not change Replace the component: Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 ⇓ If the value changes
  3. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
  1. Disconnect the component: Fuel Return Hose @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Plug the fuel return hose(s) in order to prevent leakage.
  2. Install suitable hose to the component: Outlet @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Place the other end of the hose into a suitable container.
  3. Engine » Idling — Until air is purged from the hose
  4. Engine » Idling — For 15 s Verify the container contains less than 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz) ⇒ If 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz) or greater Replace the component: Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 ⇓ If less than 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz)
  5. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
