Lexus ES: Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low (P008700)

Lexus ES (XZ10) Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / A25a-fxs (engine Control) / Sfi System / Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low (P008700)

DESCRIPTION

The high-pressure direct injection fuel system consists of a spill control valve, check valve, fuel relief valve, fuel pressure sensor (for high pressure side), fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) and direct fuel injector assemblies. The spill control valve adjusts the return volume of high-pressure fuel. The check valve mechanically opens and closes the path to the fuel delivery pipe. The relief valve releases the fuel back to the fuel tank if there is a malfunction in the high-pressure fuel system. The fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) is installed to the cylinder head cover and operated by a cam installed to the end of the exhaust camshaft. Rotation of the camshaft moves the pump plunger inside the fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) up and down, pressurizing the fuel. The pressurized fuel opens the check valve and is pumped into the fuel delivery pipe. The ECM controls the spill control valve to adjust the fuel pressure between 3.0 and 25 MPa (31 and 255 kgf/cm2, 435 and 3625 psi) and monitors signals from the fuel pressure sensor (for high pressure side) to maintain the target fuel pressure.

Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low

Although the ECM is not requesting the fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) to open the spill control valve, fuel pressure decreases 5 MPa (51.0 kgf/cm2, 725 psi) from target pressure for about 6 seconds (1 trip detection logic).
  • Leak of fuel
  • Fuel pipe (fuel tank - fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side))
  • Fuel pipe (fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) - direct fuel injector assembly)
  • Direct fuel injector assembly
  • Fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side)
  • Fuel pump (for low pressure side)
  • Fuel pressure sensor (for high pressure side)
  • Fuel system
  • ECM

SAE Code: P0087

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the fuel pressure (for high pressure side) decreases despite an increase request signal being sent to the fuel pump assembly (for high pressure side) by the ECM, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

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

    Click here

  • Permanent misfire and fuel system DTCs can only be cleared when performing the universal trip driving pattern when no malfunction is detected.
  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Record the Freeze Frame Data.
  5. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  6. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  7. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  8. Turn the Techstream on.
  9. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

    Click here

  10. Start the engine.
  11. Based on the engine speed, engine load, injection mode and other conditions displayed in the Freeze Frame Data, reproduce the conditions present when the DTC was stored.
  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
  13. 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.
  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  15. Input the DTC: P008700.
  16. 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.

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.

    Click here

    (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.
