Fault Code 452 Injector Metering Rail Number 1 Pressure Sensor Circuit - Voltage Below Normal or Shorted To Low Source
Page 1 of 14
Circuit Description
The fuel pressure sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the fuel
pressure in the fuel rail. The sensor gets +5 VDC from the ECM and is grounded by a
return pin. A third pin is the signal pin. The power and return pins are shared with other
devices on the engine.
Component Location
The fuel pressure sensor is installed in the fuel rail. Refer to Section E for a detailed
component location view.

This fault code will become inactive any time the keyswitch is ON and the signal pin of the
ECM is too low. This can be caused by a short circuit to ground on the +5-VDC supply or
signal wire. This fault will also become active if a device that is powered by the common +5-
VDC power supply is shorted to ground. This fault code will become inactive any time the
keyswitch is ON and the signal returns to a valid in-range voltage.

CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault
codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following
test leads when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3164111 - male Bosch® test lead
Part Number 3164110 - female Bosch® test lead
Part Number 3822758 - male Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead
Part Number 3822917 - female Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead.
Troubleshooting Steps
STEPS SPECIFICATIONS
STEP 1. Check the fault codes.
STEP 1A. Check for sensor Fault Code 187 active?
supply fault codes.
STEP 1B. Check for an inactive Fault Code 452 is inactive?
fault code.
STEP 2. Check the rail fuel pressure
sensor and circuit.
STEP 2A. Inspect the rail fuel Dirty or damaged pins?
pressure sensor and connector
pins.
STEP 2B. Check the sensor 4.75 to 5.25 VDC?
supply voltage and return circuit.
STEP 2C. Check the circuit Fault Code 451 active and Fault Code
response. 452 inactive?
STEP 2D. Check the fault codes Fault Code 452 is active?
and verify sensor condition.
STEP 3. Check the engine control module
and engine harness.
