P0091 DTC Information
1. DTC description

The FRP regulator is installed on the fuel supply pump and controls the fuel amount sucked into the common rail (fuel rail). The FRP regulator is fully opened in the normal state and larger drive current results in a smaller opening of the regulator. The ECM calculates the desired common rail (fuel rail) pressure and the fuel flow rate, and compares the calculated common rail (fuel rail) pressure to the actual pressure value to determine the opening position of the FRP regulator. If the actual common rail (fuel rail) pressure is higher than the desired pressure, the FRP regulator closes to decrease the fuel flow rate. If the ECM detects an excessively low feedback current in the FRP regulator, the DTC is set.

2. Condition for setting the DTC

Preconditions

・The FRP regulator drive duty is 10% to 90%.

Setting conditions

・The ECM detects that the feedback current of the FRP regulator is 50 mA or less, or lower than the desired current by 1,000 mA or more.

3. Action taken when DTC sets

・Failure is indicated* in the monitor on the machine, or the diagnostic light illuminates.

Note: *Depending on the machine manufacturer, a failure may not be indicated.

・The ECM limits the fuel injection quantity. ・The ECM limits the engine speed. ・The ECM stops multi-injection. ・The ECM stops the EGR control. ・The ECM stops DPD regeneration.

 

2.P0091 Diagnostics

Note: If the FRP regulator low-side circuit is shorted to ground, this DTC will not be set. It will cause the engine to stall or not to start.
