Default CEL/MIL Code, is it a problem?

Got a P 0191,
"Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance ", is this a major problem code, or will it eventually go away . The light is steady (not blinking).
Thanks

what were you doing at the time???

it is probably one you could just clear out and see if it returns, if it does let us know

I have an 07 Ram 5.9 and I got the P0191 and P2509 codes at the same time. My error codeshappened along with a cloud of white smoke when I started the engine. (It only happened once.) But the engine light cleared next time i started the engine and the codes have cleared now, too. So, I don't know.

Here is where you can look up the TSB's and maybe find a bulletin for your year and model to learn more about it.

It is a 2006, 2500 (should have included that before).

I don't actually know what was going on when it first came on. My father-in law brought it back to me like this last week. I have had some other codes come up in the past, and they all went away on their own. This one seems like it is taking forever to clear itself.

Drew: How do you clear them out? Disconnect the battery for a bit?

Thanks

Just disconnect the battery for a few mins, I think 10 will work

TSB # 18-032-06 addresses this issue. It involves "flashing" the powertrain control module. Should be covered under your 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty. If out of warranty you may have to pay some. Go to your dealer with this TSB number and have him look it up.

Hope this helps.

I had that code with less than 1000 miles. I didn't notice any change in mileage or performance.

Took it to the dealer. They told me I already had the latest flash and everything tested ok.

All they did was clear the code and it hasn't returned.

Same problem with mine![:@]Code P0191. The fuel filter was just changed when I changed the oil/filter. This is the first Dodge I have owned. Mine is a '06 2500 4x4, 5.9L. Gotta love the motor!Anyone have any ideas on this, or other experiences with same. I even disconnected the batteries to clear the light, but didn't work. I guess maybe the sensor is next, unless I put another new fuel filter in. Help...............[] JT2500

you can run by your local auto parts store and they should be able to hook their OBDII reader to your truck and clear the codes. if not after 5 full starts the light will go out just cause the condition is no longer present.

unhooking the battery doesnt work on these computers. they have non-volitile memory to retain this type of info. only eracing them with an OBDII of 5 full starts will get rid of the code.
