Code P0088 Chrysler Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor with a 5-Volt supply and sensor ground and receives a signal voltage back from the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure in the fuel rail. The PCM will light the MIL lamp immediately after the diagnostic runs and fails. During this time the customer may experience the power and/or speed derate. The PCM will turn off the MIL light after the diagnostic runs and passes in four consecutive drive cycles. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the fuel pressure is above a calibrated value for a calibrated amount of time.
