The engine control module (ECM) uses commanded fuel pump flow to determine a desired fuel rail pressure (FRP). The actual fuel pressure is monitored using the FRP sensor. If the FRP sensor indicates a pressure more than 20 MPa greater than desired, DTC P0089 will set.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0089 Fuel Pressure Regulator Performance
| • | DTCs P0192, P0193, P0642 or P0643 are not set. | 
| • | The ignition is ON. | 
| • | The difference between the actual FRP and the desired FRP is more than 20 MPa. | 
| • | The commanded fuel pump flow is 100 mm³/second or less. | 
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. | 
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. | 
| • | The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. | 
| • | The MIL will not illuminate. | 
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. | 
| • | The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, may display a message. | 
| • | The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. | 
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. | 
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. | 
| • | Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC. | 
| • | A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. | 
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. | 
| • | Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC. | 
| • | There are no driveability concerns associated with the FRP regulator unless a DTC is present. The most likely cause of this DTC is a sticking FRP regulator. | 
| • | If the fuel system pressure is actually too high, a fuel knock and smoke condition will exist. |
