This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
Your car's computer is saying that the part that controls the fuel pressure is getting too much power. It's like when you plug in a lamp and it's too bright because it's getting too much electricity.
The engine control module (ECM) has detected a high voltage condition in the fuel pressure regulator control circuit.
The P0092 code indicates that the ECM has detected a high voltage condition in the control circuit for the fuel pressure regulator 'A'. This could mean that the circuit is shorted to power or there is an issue with the fuel pressure regulator itself.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance
• Engine stalling or misfiring
• Short to power in the fuel pressure regulator circuit
• Faulty fuel pressure regulator
• Faulty ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics II
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorts.
• Test the fuel pressure regulator for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the fuel pressure regulator if faulty.
• Replace or reprogram the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Get the vehicle inspected by a professional.
• Avoid driving the vehicle aggressively until repaired.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on emissions-related components.
This code has been commonly reported in vehicles with high mileage or poor maintenance history.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to avoid potential engine performance issues.
Driving with this code may result in decreased fuel efficiency and increased emissions.
• Engine running
• Fuel system under load
The fuel pressure regulator is typically located near the fuel rail or fuel pump.
Q: Can I drive with a P0092 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for long with this code as it can lead to engine performance issues.
Q: How do I reset the Check Engine Light after fixing the issue?
A: You can use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code, or disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
