DTC P1181

Fuel pressure - too high

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the fuel pressure in the common rail from the fuel pressure sensor while the engine is running. If the fuel pressure is grater than the maximum fuel pressure which is determined by the engine speed, the PCM determines that the fuel pressure is too high.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Fuel return line clogged
•  Fuel injector relief valve clogged
•  Fuel pressure sensor malfunction
•  Fuel metering valve (built-in supply pump) malfunction
•  Supply pump malfunction
•  PCM malfunction
