P2293: Fuel pressure regulator 2 performance

The high-pressure fuel regulator cannot maintain the pressure requested by the ECU.

Common symptoms

  • Hard starting
  • Hesitation under load
  • Reduced power
  • Stalling

Likely causes

  • Pressure-control valve fault
  • Weak high-pressure pump
  • Restricted supply
  • Injector leakage

First checks

  • Compare requested and actual pressure
  • Verify low-pressure feed
  • Test regulator command and injector leakage

Important

High-pressure fuel diagnosis requires rated equipment and vehicle-specific procedures.

A fault code identifies a detected condition, not a failed part. Confirm manufacturer-specific subcodes and live data.
