What P0090 means
P0090
Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control Circuit/Open
Generic · fuel
Data confidence90%
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
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.

Frequently asked questions about P0090
What does P0090 mean?
Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control Circuit/Open. The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Is P0090 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P0090 is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P0090 at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
