2. Disconnect the Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor electrical connector. 

3. Start the engine and allow it to idle until it stalls. Once the engine stalls, crank the engine for an 

additional 15 seconds. 

NOTE:

Running the engine with the FRP sensor electrical connector 
disconnected will generate a DTC that will have to be cleared.

WARNING:

This step in the procedure will vent a very slight amount of residual 
pressure to the atmosphere. Use care to prevent the combustion of 
escaping fuel. Smoking, open flames or any kind of arcing must be 
avoided. Carry out this operation only in a well-ventilated area. 
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

4. Slightly loosen the FRP sensor to release the residual pressure from the fuel rail.  

5. Tighten and reconnect the FRP sensor. 

6. Using the scan tool, access the FRP PID. The FRP PID should indicate less than 5 psi. If so, the fuel 

system may be opened and serviced. If not, repeat the procedure.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is being serviced for an FRP sensor DTC, the FRP PID 
reading may not indicate actual pressure in the fuel rail.

WARNING:

This step in the procedure will vent pressure to the atmosphere. Use 
care to prevent the combustion of escaping fuel. Smoking, open 
flames or any kind of arcing must be avoided. Carry out this
