DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL	Note
P008B00	Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure - Too High	The actual fuel pressure (for low pressure side) value is higher than target fuel pressure (for low pressure side) by a certain amount or more (1 trip detection logic).	Fuel pump control ECU No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) ECM	Does not come on	SAE Code: P008B DTC for Mexico Models: Applies

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the fuel pressure (for low pressure side) increases despite a decrease request signal being sent to the fuel pump control ECU by the ECM, the ECM will store this DTC.

MONITOR STRATEGY

Frequency of Operation

Continuous

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the GTS on.
4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
7. Turn the GTS on.
8. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].
9. Drive the vehicle for 15 minutes or more [C].

   CAUTION:

   When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
11. 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.
12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
13. Input the DTC: P008B00.
14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS 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 [B] through [D] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. 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 OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P008B00)

(a) Read the DTCs.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
DTC P008B00 is output	A
DTC P008B00 and other DTCs are output	B

HINT:

If any DTCs other than P008B00 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

2.	READ VALUE USING GTS (FUEL PRESSURE (LOW) / FUEL PRESSURE 2)

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(c) Record the Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value.

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

(e) Discharge the fuel pressure.

HINT:

DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the GTS.

(1) Remove the EFI-MAIN NO. 2 fuse from the No. 1 engine room relay block assembly.

(2) Start the engine.

(3) After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch off.

HINT:

If the engine does not stop naturally, perform direct injection by racing the engine to reduce the fuel pressure [Fuel Pressure (High)] and stop the engine.

(4) Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.

(5) Install the EFI-MAIN NO. 2 fuse.

(f) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(g) Compare the Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value recorded with the engine running to the Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value currently shown on the GTS.

Result	Proceed to
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value drops	A
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value is maintained	B

HINT:

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

REPLACE NO. 2 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR (FOR LOW PRESSURE SIDE)

A

3.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE FUEL PUMP DUTY RATIO (BRUSHLESS))

(a) Install the fuel pressure gauge (for low pressure line of low pressure side).

Click here

(b) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

Active Test Display
Control the Fuel Pump Duty Ratio (Brushless)

Data List Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(c) Compare the values in the Data List using the GTS and the fuel pressure gauge when the Active Test was performed.

Standard:

GTS Operation	Standard
Low	Data List value and fuel pressure gauge are within +/-50 kPa of each other
High

HINT:

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

REPLACE NO. 2 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR (FOR LOW PRESSURE SIDE)

OK

4.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE FUEL PUMP DUTY RATIO (BRUSHLESS))

(a) Install the fuel pressure gauge (for low pressure line of low pressure side).

Click here

(b) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

Active Test Display
Control the Fuel Pump Duty Ratio (Brushless)

Data List Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(c) Read the values on the Data List and the fuel pressure gauge when the Active Test was performed.

GTS Operation	Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2	Fuel pressure gauge	Proceed to
Low	Below 600 kPag	Below 600 kPa (6.1 kgf/cm2, 87 psi)	A
	600 kPag or higher	600 kPa (6.1 kgf/cm2, 87 psi) or higher	B

5.

CLEAR DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Powertrain > Engine > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
