Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code means the fuel rail pressure sensor is sending a higher-than-expected voltage to the engine computer, suggesting a wiring problem or a faulty sensor rather than a true pressure spike. It often points to a short circuit, corroded connector, or a failing sensor. It's a common, well-understood code and is usually fixable without major engine work.
$120 – $350
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, but you shouldn't rely on it. If the engine runs rough, hesitates, or enters reduced-power mode, drive gently and get it checked soon to avoid being stranded.
Most repairs run between $120 and $350. A simple wiring or connector fix is on the low end, while replacing the fuel rail pressure sensor with labor sits toward the higher end.
It's moderate. It won't usually damage the engine right away, but it can cause poor performance and stalling, so it's best to address it before it gets worse.
It measures the pressure of fuel in the rail feeding the injectors so the computer can fine-tune the fuel delivery. When its signal reads too high, the computer can't trust it and the engine may run poorly.
