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 the 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.

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. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

9. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].
10. With the engine running, drive the vehicle for 15 minutes or more [C].

    CAUTION:

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

    HINT:

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
12. 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.
13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
14. Input the DTC: P008B00.
15. 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

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.)

• 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 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) Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility

Tester Display
Inspection Mode

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

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

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) 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.

(2) Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility

Tester Display
Inspection Mode

(3) Start the engine.

(4) 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.

(5) Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility

Tester Display
Inspection Mode

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

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

(g) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display
Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(h) 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).
