P2293 Powertrain

P2293 — Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Performance

The high-pressure fuel pressure regulator (volume control or pressure control valve on a direct-injection rail) is not maintaining commanded pressure. Often the rail-pressure sensor reading drifts away from the setpoint under load.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Fuel pressure regulator
  • High pressure fuel pump
  • Rail pressure sensor

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Pressure regulator worn or sticking
  • High-pressure pump weak
  • Rail pressure sensor drift

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Hard start, no start, or stalling under load
  • Power loss especially at high load or rpm
  • Possible long cranking time

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
  • Reduced-power or limp mode may occur

Check each reference's vehicle and model-year scope. General background links do not establish which fault is most likely on your vehicle.

Diagnostic information is provided for reference only. Confirm the code with a compatible scan tool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures before replacing components.
