P0193 fuel rail pressure circuit high input - 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Fuel pressure outside nominal range. Check pressure at fuel rail.

Fault Code Definition P0193

• Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input

What does this mean?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) needs to know the fuel pressure at all times so it can effectively control the fuel injectors and deliver the optimal amount of fuel into the engine's combustion chambers for maximum power and economy while maintaining the lowest tailpipe emissions.
Code P0193
indicates that the signal from the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor and/or its circuit is too high, indicating a fuel pressure condition that is abnormally high.

Possible causes
- Low or no fuel
- Faulty Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
- Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted
- Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Fuel Pump

Go to you tube and look for how to install fuel pressure regulator.

P0193 - Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input

Possible causes- Excessive resistance in the circuit
- Low or no fuel
- Wiring harness connector of the fuel pressure sensor
- Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (most common cause)
- Fuel Pump

If you have replaced the sensor, check the wires at the back of the plug. Pull them one at a time, if they stretch it is a broken wire. When you get a high reading code. It is either it's unplugged or a wire is broken.

P0193 FORD - Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input
Symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Engine will not start Possible causes - Excessive resistance in the circuit
- Low or no fuel
- Wiring harness connector of the fuel pressure sensor
- Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
- Fuel Pump

P0193 is "Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input"
Meaning: Car's computer is reading input voltage from the FRP (Fuel Rail Pressure) sensor as
voltage out of the acceptable range, because the voltage is too above the acceptable range.

assuming you are running gasoline...

check for fuel in the vacuum hose of the FRP sensor after running engine at idle for 2 minutes. if not, check fuel pressure. Check fuel pressure by connecting a fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader
connector on the fuel rail, which you will find under a small (black, usually) plastic protective cap.

If the fuel pressure is indeed too high, your fuel pressure regulator has gone bad.

if fuel pressure is good, check voltage between Sensor connector Vref (Pin#3 LB (light blue)) and
Signal Return (Pin#4 GY/RD (gray/red)), which should be 4.0V-5.5V with key ON.
The acceptable voltage range from the FRP sensor to the car's computer is 4.0-5.5 volts.
What the P0193 code is saying is that the voltage from the FRP sensor is over 5.5 volts,
and therefore it's "High Input."

If voltage from the FRP sensor is bad (out of range high, presumably), then replace the FRP
sensor and reset the OBD-II code.

If the voltage output from the FRP sensor is also good, the car's computer is kaflooey, so
you'd need to replace the car computer (which is costly), so replace the car's computer as a
last resort.
