    What Does Code P0002 Mean

    P0002 is a generic OBD-II code indicating an issue with the engine control module (ECM) reading signals from your fuel pressure regulator on your fuel injection rail mounted to your engine.

    The ECM regulates your fuel pressure from your fuel pump going to your engine through this circuit and receives input on your actual fuel pressure. When the computer detects a pressure it is not commanding to the fuel pump, it will set a Check Engine Light. The code will affect fuel economy and possibly damage the engine. On a side note, this code is rare.

    Troubleshooting P0002

    The following steps will help you troubleshoot a P0002 code:
    • Perform a visual inspection of the FVCV and connection.
    Many problems can easily be found in the harness and connectors. So, begin your diagnosis by visually inspecting the FVCV and its connection.
    • Test the FVCV solenoid
    After the visual inspection, the next step is to test the FVCV. Do this by connecting a current probe to the power supply wire. With the engine running, current draw should be between 35 to 80 MA depending on the manufacturer.

    You can also test the internal resistance of the FVCV solenoid. Touch a meter lead to each terminal on the solenoid. Consult the manufacturer’s specifications for acceptable resistance value. Anything great than specification or a reading of out of limits (OL), means the FVCV solenoid is bad and should be replaced.

    While testing the FVCV can be done with a multimeter, it is even better to test it with an oscilloscope. Using a scope, the FVCV should produce a nice, square duty cycle waveform.

    • Check the circuit
    If the FVCV checks out OK, but you still have P0002 code illuminated, you’ll need to check the circuit.

    The FVCV will have two wires going to it: power and PCM controlled ground. Consult the repair manual for your vehicle to determine which wire is which.

    Disconnect the FVCV connector and touch one end of a test light to the B+ pin. Connect the test light clamp to the battery negative post. The test light should illuminate. If it does not, there is problem in the power supply circuit and you will need to consult the factory wiring diagram.

    Finally, check that the PCM is grounding the negative side of the circuit. Disconnect the FVCV connector and touch one end of a test light to the ground pin. Connect the test light clamp to the battery positive post. Crank the engine. If the PCM is grounding the circuit, the test light should flash. If it does not, there is either an open in the ground side of the circuit or problems with the PCM.
