Engine Control System 1A-209
DTC245 - Common Rail Pressure Sensor System Fault
Circuit Description
The common rail pressure sensor detects the fuel
pressure in the common rail, converts the pressure into
a voltage signal, and sends the signal to the ECM.
Higher pressure provides higher voltage while lower
pressure provides lower voltage. The ECM calculates
the actual common rail pressure (fuel pressure) from
the voltage signal and uses the result in fuel injection
control and other control tasks.
DTC245 will be set when the sensor output voltage is
excessively high or low.
Major Faulty Event
• Poor startability
• Generation of white/black smoke
• Short power
• Poor driveability
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The state where the common rail pressure sensor
output voltage deviates from the range between 0.7 V
and 4.7 V is continuously observed 3 times during A/D
(analog/digital) conversion in the ECM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• After the DTC is set, the ECM will illuminate the
CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL).
• The common rail pressure and fuel injection
quantity are limited.
• The ECM declares the common rail pressure
sensor fault and stops the related control tasks and
fault judgment.
Conditions for Clearing MIL/DTC
When the system fails and the DTC is stored to the
ECM, even repairing the faulty portion will not clear the
DTC from the memory. To clear the DTC, conduct the
following steps.
1. Turn off the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Press the
accelerator pedal.)
2. Turn on the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Release the
accelerator pedal.)
3. Turn off the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Press the
accelerator pedal.)
4. Turn on the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Release the
accelerator pedal.)
5. Turn off the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Press the
accelerator pedal.)
