P2294 OBD-II: Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Control Circuit/Open

P2294 Severity

Moderate

Will P2294 go away on its own?

Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.

For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.

Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.

Schedule Diagnosis

What causes OBD-II fault code P2294?

The Fuel Pressure Regulator allows the fuel system to release excessive fuel in the fuel rail back to the fuel tank. When the engine control module (PCM) determines that the Fuel Pressure Regulator is not performing properly, the PCM will set code P2294.
