I changed out the high pressure fuel pump, replaced the fuel pressure sensor, and noticed the wiring harness to the pressure sensor was damaged. I replaced the harness to the pressure sensor (only) (not the whole injector harness)using the recommended wire crimps from the dealership. I replaced the fuel line leading in to the high pressure fuel pump as recommended from dealership.

I am still receiving code p228c, through my research there is no fuel pressure regulator for the 2015 GMC terrain.

I am still receiving code p0191, the fuel pressure sensor has been replaced.

I am still receiving p0172 bank 1 to rich

Symptoms:

1. Black gunk coming from exhaust
2. Rough idle (sometimes engine dies out)
3. Reduced engine power / service stabilitrak
4. None to very low response when pushing accelerator.
5. Wont go passed 3,000 rpm when accelerator is fully pressed to floorboard.


It seems like no fuel or very low pressure of fuel is reaching the engine. Could this be a rear fuel pump/ pressure sending unit issue.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for your time/help.

Hello,

This sounds like your vehicle is in "limp mode". It goes into limp mode when there is a problem that could do serious damage to your vehicle, and allows you just to drive it to a repair shop and nothing else. Unfortunately I have no information in either of my reference material archives on how to reset your vehicle from limp mode. I have included in the diagrams below the factory troubleshooting instructions for both Direct Trouble Codes (DTC)(s) P0172 and P0191. You might try the instructions at the end of P0172 for resetting out of "limp mode". Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
