P0087: Rail pressure low during cranking
Overview:
DTC Description as per ISO
standard
Fuel Rail/System pressure - Too low
ECU Pin Number
40
Customer Symptom
Engine may not start if Engine turns Off
Power loss due to Engine torque restriction.
Fuel Efficiency will improve and Nox emissions will increase.
Fault Effects (On Vehicle)
EGR does not function/EGR disable
Engine may not start
Lamp Status (If Any)
CE and MI lamp is ON.
Fault Detection Condition
This DTC gets logged if no rise in rail pressure is detected even after 6
seconds of cranking.
Normal Operating Condition
No Faults related to Rail Pressure sensor
Probable Trouble Area
Rail pressure sensor, ECU, Wiring harness
Healing Condition
Clear the errors, Ignition OFF to ON, Crank the engine, engine idle, fly-up
and specially vehicle running in different speed condition. (1 driving cycle
after fault rectification)
Component Details:
Rail pressure sensor is a piezoelectric type one, which is used to measure the fuel pressure inside the Rail. It provides the
pressure in terms of voltage to the ECU. This rail possesses an under pressure supply of diesel fuel which is ready to be
used by the injectors. The drop of pressure in the rail is immediately signaled by the sensor to the engine control unit. This
is followed by the restoration of pressure in the pump. It is the engine control unit that controls the fuel supply of the rail
from a pump possessing very high pressure. This is done by using a valve for controlling the pressure of fuel.
Preliminary Checks
x
Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned above. If
yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
x
Check whether similar complaints are earlier reported. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with respect to
earlier issue closure.
x
Check adequate fuel is available in the tank.
x
Check ECU pins and connector, replace if found defective.
x
Check HP circuit; Refer HP circuit check and rectification procedure.
x
Check LP circuit; Refer LP circuit check and rectification procedure.
x
Check the EMS and Rail Pressure sensor connectors for pin back out / damage. If found, then Rectify the issue.
Also check for oxidation of pins.
