P0250 BMW Fault Code

Check P0250 OBD Fault Code Reason
Description:

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor in Range But Low The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the FRP pressure for acceptable fuel pressure. The test fails when the fuel pressure falls below a calibrated value.

Low fuel pressure Damaged BMW FRP sensor Excessive resistance in circuit Low or no fuel A FRP PID value below 551 kpa (80 psi) indicates a failure Low or no fuel A FRP PID value greater than 896 kpa (130 psi) indicates a failure.

P0250 Code Symptoms :

There are currently two main types of cylinder deactivation used today, depending on the type of engine.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P0250, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir.

Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P0250 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
