Fuel Pressure Sensor: Operation

Review the high pressure fuel system warning (Refer to WARNING ).

The fuel flows to the fuel pressure sensor through an opening in the rail, the end of which is sealed off by the sensor diaphragm. Pressurized fuel reaches the sensor's diaphragm through a blind hole. The sensor element (semiconductor device) converts the pressure to an electric signal is mounted on this diaphragm. The signal generated by the sensor is sent to the ECM.
