What does code P018B mean?
Fuel Pressure Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance
Obd code P018B – Fuel Pressure Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance. The P018B trouble code can be defined as a fuel pressure sensor “B” circuit range/performance.
Where is the fuel pressure sensor located?
A fuel rail pressure sensor (commonly known as a fuel pressure sensor) is used in many diesel and some gasoline engines. This sensor is usually located near the middle of the fuel rail and is linked to the engine control unit (ECU), which is the central computer of a vehicle.
Can you drive with a bad pressure sensor?
If the dipstick reads that the oil level is fine and the engine sounds like it’s running quietly and smoothly, then the light is probably just the result of a bad sensor. In this case, definitely stop driving until you’ve resolved the issue or you could be facing major and immediate engine damage.
When to use the p018b fuel pressure sensor B code?
In the case of this code, the “B” indicates the problem is with a portion of the system circuit, instead of a particular symptom or component. Code P018B is set when the PCM detects a performance problem with the fuel pressure sensor. Related codes include P018A, P018C, P018D, and P018E.
When to use fault code p018b in torque pro?
We recommend Torque Pro. OBD II fault code P018B is a generic code that is defined as “Fuel pressure sensor “B” – circuit range/performance”, and is set when the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) detects an abnormal signal voltage from the fuel pressure sensor.
What’s the fuel pressure sensor code on a 2014 Malibu?
We have a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu that came in the shop with many codes but mostly it was having fuel pressure sensor trouble and had the following codes: P018B P018C P2635. You will see in the video it had many other codes and don’t worry we will be addressing them in an upcoming video so grab your favorite drink and let’s see where this goes!
How much does it cost to diagnose the p018b code?
The cost of diagnosing the P018B code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 5-Volt supply to the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (FRPS).
