GDI Fuel Rail Pressure Oscillation Detected
on 2021 Chrysler 300 6.4L V8 SRT · RWD
What this code means
The fuel rail pressure in the GDI system is oscillating beyond normal limits, indicating a control instability or mechanical issue in the high-pressure fuel system.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Engine vibration at idle
- Fuel injector noise louder than normal
- Idle quality degradation
- Possible misfire symptoms
- Fuel smell intermittent
Common causes
- HP fuel pump volume control valve hunting
- Fuel rail pressure sensor noise
- Pressure damper failure in fuel rail
- Fuel injector leak causing pressure drops
- HP pump cam follower uneven wear
Diagnostic steps
- Monitor fuel rail pressure waveform with fast data rate
- Check HP pump volume control solenoid
- Inspect pressure damper in fuel rail
- Test fuel injectors for leak-back
- Inspect HP pump cam follower for uneven wear
Repair notes
Replace pressure damper if failed. Service volume control solenoid. Replace cam follower if showing uneven wear.
