DTC P0093 - LPL or LPV
Diagnostic Instructions
DTC Descriptor
DTC P0093 00: Fuel System Large Leak
Detected
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses commanded fuel pump
flow to determine a desired fuel rail pressure. The ECM monitors
fuel rail pressure with the fuel rail pressure sensor. The fuel
pressure regulator solenoid is used to control the fuel pressure.
The fuel pressure regulator solenoid is pulse width
modulated (PWM). The ECM supplies the voltage directly to the
fuel pressure regulator solenoid. The ECM controls the solenoid by
grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a
driver.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • |
The DTCs runs continuously once the above
conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the rail pressure is below the minimum
threshold.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0093 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0093 is a Type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
| • |
A restricted fuel supply line, a leakage in the
high pressure section, an activated pressure limiter, too much or
too little fuel in the low pressure line may cause DTCs to set.
When ambient temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), the fuel
tank pickup screen may be iced over from water in the fuel
tank. |
| • |
High resistance in the circuit of the fuel
pressure regulator will cause a DTC to set. |
| • |
There are no driveability concerns associated with
the fuel pressure regulator unless a DTC is present. One of the
causes of these DTCs is a sticking fuel pressure regulator. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan
tool. Verify that no other DTCs are set.
- Engine running, observe the scan tool DTC information
parameter. DTCs P0093 or P0094 should not set.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running
the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the
vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze
Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the
G18 High Pressure Fuel Pump.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between
the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
| ⇒ |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the
ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high
resistance. |
- Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the
K20 Engine Control Module.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 3 V between the
signal circuit at the harness connector from the G18 High
Pressure Fuel Pump terminal 2 and ground.
| ⇒ |
If greater than the specified range, test the
control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Ignition OFF, test for greater than 500 kΩ
between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
| ⇒ |
If less than the specified range, test the signal
circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit
at the harness connector from G18 High Pressure Fuel Pump
terminal 2 and the signal circuit at the K20 Engine
Control Module terminal 5.
| ⇒ |
If greater than the specified range, test the
signal circuit for an open circuit. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Inspect and repair one of the following
conditions:
Low Pressure
| • |
Injection nozzle stuck in open position |
| • |
Leakage in the fuel rail pressure regulator |
| • |
Worn fuel injection pump |
| • |
Fuel pressure limiter in open position |
- If all circuit tests normal, replace the G18 High
Pressure Fuel Pump.

Perform the
Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic
procedure.
