Title: M20A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P107A11; Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low) Circuit Short to Ground; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [03/2023 -        ]

DTC

P107A11

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low) Circuit Short to Ground

DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) replaces the fuel pressure with electrical signals and outputs them to the ECM. The ECM controls the optimal fuel pressure for the operation conditions to reduce the fuel pump power consumption and improve fuel economy.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

2 seconds or more after the engine has started, if the output voltage of the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) is less than 0.43 V for 3 seconds or more, the ECM determines that the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) circuit is malfunctioning and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

    Click here 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [11/2022 -        ]; M20A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [11/2022 -        ]; M20A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Start the engine.
  7. Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
  8. Turn the Techstream on.
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
  10. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  12. Proceed to the next screen and enter the DTC to be checked.
  13. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display

    Description

    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [A] through [B] again.
    • [A] to [B]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL PRESSURE (LOW) / FUEL PRESSURE 2)

HINT:

Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display

Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(e) Record the Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2 value.

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

(g) Turn the Techstream off.

(h) Disconnect the No. 2 fuel pressure sensor (for low pressure side) connector.

(i) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(j) Turn the Techstream on.

(k) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display

Fuel Pressure (Low) / Fuel Pressure 2

(l) Compare the Data List value when the connector is connected and when the connector is not connected.
