Code P0191 Buick Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor to constantly adjust the high-pressure fuel pump's feed rate so that the ideal pressure is permanently maintained in the high-pressure section (between the high-pressure fuel pump and the injectors) by means of closed-loop control. The fuel rail pressure sensor transmits fuel pressure and temperature information via serial data to the ECM. When the fuel pressure is high, the signal voltage is high. When the fuel pressure is low, the signal voltage is low. The ECM controls the fuel pressure regulator, which regulates high-pressure fuel that goes to the fuel injector rails and the injectors. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set if the difference between the following parameters is more significant than a predefined value of the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor 1 & Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor 2 for greater than 2.6 s.
