What is the solution for the P0193 fault code?

P0193 fault code solutions: 1. If there is a fuel pipeline leak, it is recommended to clean or replace it. 2. Refuel at reputable gas stations and replace the fuel filter screen and fuel filter on schedule. Below is relevant knowledge about the P0193 fault code: 1. The location and function of the fuel rail pressure sensor in the vehicle: (1) The fuel rail pressure sensor is located at one end of the common rail pipe. (2) Its function is to detect the current actual rail pressure, compare it with the theoretical rail pressure for correction, and achieve closed-loop control. 2. The type, structural principle, and impact of the fuel rail pressure sensor: (1) The fuel rail pressure sensor is a 3-wire system, consisting of a power line, signal line, and ground line. (2) The PCM compares the actual rail pressure measured by the fuel rail pressure sensor with the theoretical rail pressure to achieve closed-loop control.
Last time my car showed the P0193 trouble code, and it took me a long time to figure it out. This code indicates that the fuel pressure sensor signal voltage is too high, meaning there's an issue with the sensor or its wiring. First, I disassembled and checked the sensor connector, finding some oxidation on the pins, but cleaning them didn’t help. Then, I used a multimeter to measure the circuit voltage and indeed found that the signal wire was shorted to the power supply. Later, while tracing the engine bay wiring harness, I discovered a section of the wire had its insulation melted by the exhaust pipe. I wrapped it back up with insulating tape myself, cleared the trouble code, and everything went back to normal. My advice for encountering this issue is to first disconnect the power, then use a multimeter to check the sensor’s three wires: power, ground, and signal. If the signal wire voltage exceeds 5 volts, it’s likely a short circuit; if it’s below 0.5 volts, it might be an open circuit. If the wiring checks out fine, there’s an 80% chance the sensor needs replacement.
