<<See All OBD Codes

Is your vehicle flashing that OBD error code P009F? Is your faulty PCM forcing you to undergo a complete vehicle checkup? Well, in this case we recommend you to undergo a complete diagnosis of this problem and maybe replace your faulty fuel pumps and other related parts.

In order to solve any problem, you need to understand that problem completely, so let’s get started with this problem from the very start i.e. what exactly this OBD error code P009F indicates.

Your vehicle’s PCM, also known as the powertrain control module will set up this error code P009F when it detects that the fuel pressure relief control circuit is stuck on. PCM monitors the fuel pressure regulator and opens the fuel pressure relief valve to return excess fuel back to the fuel supply system.

What causes this problem with Fuel Pressure Relief Control Circuit?

• Fuel pump that is defective or damaged
• Fuel pressure relief valve that has become faulty over time
• Failure with the fuel pressure regulator
• Fuel pump or fuel delivery system connector that corroded over a period of time
• Wirings that became faulty or damaged
• PCM if it starts showing issues
• Open or shorted fuel pressure relief valve harness
• Poor electrical connection within the fuel pressure relief valve circuit
• Air leakage to the DPF that changes the sensor readings and sets in the code P009F
• Damaged or Rusted exhaust parts such as rusty exhaust systems, cracked exhaust manifolds or damaged or missing gaskets or donuts that cause air leaks.
• DPF Clogging due to high percentage of sulfur in the fuel
