What P0090 means

P0090
Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control Circuit/Open Generic · fuel Data confidence 90%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Symptoms

  • Possible hard starting or long cranking
  • Possible reduced power or cutting out
  • MIL illuminated

Possible causes

  • Wiring open circuit
  • fuel metering solenoid
  • ECM

Recommended checks

  • Read specified vs actual rail pressure at cranking, idle and load
  • Check low-pressure supply (pressure/volume) first
  • Check control valve/regulator operation
  • Measure injector return flow where applicable
  • Inspect wiring and connectors of pressure components
