What is P0092 fault code? What is the description for the Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Control Circuit High dysfunction? How do you fix the P0092 fault code What are the causes and symptoms of the P0092 error code?
What is the P0092 Fault code? What does it stand for?
The code P0092 indicates that the powertrain controller module (PCM), receives a high-voltage signal from the electronic Fuel Pressure Regulator Control Circuit.
There are sometimes more than one electronic engine pressure regulator. A malfunction in the primary fuel regulator is indicated by the “1” in the code definition. In some vehicles it could also refer the engine block containing 1st-cylinder.
The PCM usually controls the electronic fuel regulator. The PCM controls a servomotor that positions the regulator valve in accordance with ground signals and the battery. This allows for the attainment of the desired fuel pressure level. The fuel pressure sensor can be found on the fuel injector rail. This sensor allows the PCM to monitor the fuel pressure, adjust the fuel regulator voltage as necessary. The voltage of the servomotor increases and the valve opens, while the fuel pressure decreases.
The fuel pressure sensor and regulator are often integrated in a single housing. However, they may also be separate components. If the voltage of the current fuel regulator is greater than what the PCM requires, the fault code P0092 is issued.
P0092 fault codes can be found on many vehicles, including but not limited to: Isuzu Mazda, Hyundai, Dodge Chrysler, Ford, GMC Chevrolet, Cadillac and Alfa Romeo.

What causes the P0092 Fault code?
Here are some reasons why P0092 should be set.
- – Defective fuel pressure regulator
- – Defective fuel pressure sensor
- – Fuel filter restriction or other parts of fuel system
- – A short or open circuit in the fuel regulator control circuit is due to damaged wires and loose connectors.
- – Low fuel levels or no fuel
- – Defective PCM
What are the symptoms of the P0092 Fault code?
These symptoms may be present if you own a vehicle that has the P0092 code.
- – Illumination at the check engine lights
- – Engine running hard, or not at all
- – An increase in fuel consumption
- – Low engine performance
- – Vehicle slow acceleration and no power
- – Engine hesitation during acceleration
- – The exhaust emits black smoke
- – The vehicle can be switched to fail-safe mode
- – Setting other fault codes (engine misfires, idling etc.
How do I fix the P0092 fault code?
Before any code can be returned, it’s important to clear them all. If the code does return, it is important to seek out damaged, dented and broken wires and inspect connectors for corrosion. The fuel pressure regulator is responsible for the fault, but it should be checked before it can be replaced.
- Repair of damaged cables and connectors, as well as open or short circuits
- – Replacing a faulty fuel pressure regulator
- – Replacing a faulty fuel pressure sensor
- – Replacing the fuel filter
- – Replace the PCM in the event that it fails to pass the tests
How Serious Is the P0092 Fault Coding?
The engine’s performance can be seriously affected by a P0092 code. It can cause engine problems and stop you from driving. This can lead to internal engine damage or catalytic converter issues. It is important to address this code as soon after it has been set.
