Condition
• MIL on.
• Customer may report loss of performance.
• DTC P008700 (fuel rail pressure too low) may be stored in the engine control module, J623 (address word 01).

Technical Background
Under extreme driving conditions with the A/C compressor switched off (e.g., long idle periods or extended stopand-go traffic), high temperatures can build up in the fuel rail and may lead to fluctuations in fuel pressure,
possibly causing DTC P008700 to be stored. Coolant temperature above 102˚C in the freeze frame data can be
an indicator of those extreme driving conditions.

Production Solution
New software with improved cooling fan strategy.
