P1210 FORD: INJECTOR CONTROL PRESSURE EXCEEDS EXPECTED LEVEL
The fuel pressure sensor (ICP) is a device that is part of the engine management system and is usually installed on diesel engine vehicles. As the name implies, this electronic sensor monitors the fuel pressure reaching the injectors.
Diesel engines require a more precise fuel mixture because they rely on pressure and temperature rather than a spark to ignite the fuel mixture. The ICP sensor detects the fuel pressure feeding the injectors and sends that information to the ECM (Engine Control Module), which then makes the necessary adjustments for optimum performance and efficiency.
The ECM continuously monitors the injector control pressure to verify that the injector control pressure is correct. If it finds that the injector control signal exceeds the set limit, it will set the P1210 OBDII diagnostic code.
The reasons why the OBD2 fault code P1210 is set are:
To troubleshoot the DTC P1210 OBDII code you must do the following:
