Lexus ES: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low) Circuit Short to Ground (P107A11)

Lexus ES (XZ10) Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / A25a-fxs (engine Control) / Sfi System / Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low) Circuit Short to Ground (P107A11)

DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) replaces the fuel pressure with electrical signals and outputs them to the ECM. The ECM controls the optimal fuel pressure for the operation conditions to reduce the fuel pump power consumption and improve fuel economy.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL	Memory	Note
P107A11	Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low) Circuit Short to Ground	The No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) output voltage is less than 0.43 V for 3 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) circuit No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) ECM	Comes on	DTC stored	SAE Code: P107C

HINT:

When this DTC is output, check the fuel pressure (for low pressure side) in the Data List. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2.

DTC No.	Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2	Malfunction
P107A11	Approximately 0 kPa	Short to ground in PFL circuit Short in PFL to EPFL circuit Open in VCPF circuit

If the Data List value is normal it may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) output voltage is out of the standard range due to an open or short in the sensor circuit.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the Techstream on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).
Click here
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P107A11.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

HINT:

If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [A] through [B] again.
[A] to [B]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

Click here
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to No. 2 Fuel Pressure Sensor (for Low Pressure Side))

HINT:

Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

(a) Disconnect the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) connector.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
D17-1 (VC) - D17-3 (E2)	Power switch on (IG)	4.75 to 5.25 V
D17-2 (PFL) - D17-3 (E2)	Power switch on (IG)	4.4 to 5.6 V

(d) Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
D17-1 (VC) - D17-2 (PFL)	Power switch off	171 to 189 kΩ

HINT:

Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side).

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 2 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR (FOR LOW PRESSURE SIDE) - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) connector.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
D17-1 (VC) - C88-84 (VCPF)	Always	Below 1 Ω
D17-2 (PFL) or C88-107 (PFL) - Body ground and other terminals	Always	10 kΩ or higher
