Closed Loop Fuel Pressure Control At Limit - Pressure Too Low

18 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Oxygen sensor: measures oxygen in the exhaust gas · Mass air flow sensor: measures the air going into the engine · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to fuel pressure or a fuel leak, which carries a stall or fire risk.

1What it means in plain English

This code is in the fuel, air and oxygen sensor range, which also includes coolant temperature faults.

2Common causes

  1. Dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor
  2. Vacuum or intake air leak
  3. Weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filter
  4. Faulty fuel injector
  5. Faulty oxygen sensor
  6. Wiring or connector fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

Do not drive if you smell fuel. Have the fuel system checked before driving further: a fuel leak or loss of pressure can cause a fire or make the engine stall.
