<<See All OBD Codes

Low engine performance and increased fuel consumption when observed with defective fuel pump and some problems with the fuel pressure relief control circuit. Chances are your PCM sets one of the five possible OBD-II trouble codes from OBD error codes - P009B, P009C, P009E, P009E or P009F.

P009E code will be set when the PCM detects that there exists fuel pressure relief control circuit stuck off issues. 

As we already know that the Fuel Pressure Relief valve is designed to release excessive fuel pressure. When the engine control module (PCM) detects an issue with the Fuel Pressure Relief Valve signal or fuel pressure relief control circuit stuck off, the PCM will set code P009E.

As a result of this code, your engine will start showcasing issues with performance and fuel efficiency.

What causes this problem with Fuel Pressure Relief Control Circuit?

• Failure of the fuel pressure regulator can be another cause
• Vehicle’s corroded or damaged connector and wirings
• Poor electrical connections of the fuel pressure relief valve circuit
• A defective fuel pump can cause this problem
• If your vehicle’s fuel pressure relief valve is faulty, it can become another potential cause
• PCM issues can too become a potential cause
• Shorted or open fuel pressure relief valve harness
