Causes
- Blown or faulty fuse or relay supplying the pressure regulator/solenoid
- Poor battery condition or low system voltage
- Open, short to ground or short to battery in wiring or damaged connector
- Corroded or loose connector pins at the solenoid/regulator or ECU
- High resistance in supply/ground circuit (poor crimp, corrosion)
- Faulty pressure regulator or solenoid (internal open/short)
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
- Reduced engine power or limp-home mode (depending on system)
- Poor boost/pressure control, turbo or fuel pressure issues
- Hard starting, stalling or rough idle in some cases
- Stored fault(s) relating to regulator/solenoid performance
What to check
- Read all stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data with a scan tool
- Visually inspect wiring harness, connectors and pins for damage or corrosion
- Check relevant fuse(s) and relay(s); replace if blown or suspect
- Measure battery voltage and charging system condition
- Backprobe supply and ground pins at solenoid/regulator connector with ignition ON and engine running
- Measure resistance of the solenoid/regulator coil with connector disconnected
Signal parameters
- Supply voltage at solenoid/regulator supply pin (Ignition ON): approx. 11–14.5 V (battery voltage)
- Voltage drop between battery positive and solenoid supply under load: should be minimal (
- Ground continuity from solenoid ground to chassis/ECM ground: near 0 ohms
- Typical coil/resistor resistance (consult vehicle spec): commonly in the range of ~5–30 ohms — reference factory specification before replacement
- Control signal to regulator/solenoid (if PWM controlled): variable duty cycle 0–100% depending on operating conditions
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the code P0651 with a scanner, record freeze-frame data and clear codes to see if it returns.
- Inspect battery, main fuses and any dedicated fuse/relay for the pressure regulator/solenoid circuit; replace suspect items and retest.
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring from fuse/relay/ECM to the pressure regulator/solenoid for damage, corrosion or rodent chew.
- With ignition ON (engine off), backprobe the supply pin at the solenoid/regulator connector and confirm battery voltage is present. If no voltage, trace back to fuse/relay/ECM.
- Check ground continuity from the solenoid/regulator ground pin to chassis/ECM ground; repair poor ground connections.
- Disconnect the solenoid/regulator and measure coil resistance; compare to factory spec. An open or shorted coil indicates component replacement.
- With connector connected, monitor the supply and control signal while cranking/idle with a lab scope or multimeter (voltage and PWM duty). Look for intermittent loss or abnormal values.
- Perform wiggle tests on harness and connectors while monitoring signals/codes to locate intermittent faults.
- If wiring, connectors, fuse and component test good, consider ECM driver fault; consult manufacturer diagnostic procedures before replacing ECM.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform test drive to confirm P0651 does not return and related system operates correctly.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or failed relay in the regulator/solenoid supply
- Open or shorted wiring between fuse/relay and solenoid/regulator
- Corroded/loose connector at solenoid or ECM causing voltage drop
- Failed pressure regulator/solenoid coil (open/high resistance)
- Intermittent battery/ground connection causing low supply voltage
Fault status
Status
Supply circuit for pressure regulator/solenoid reporting open/low/high-resistance condition; MIL set.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.5 hours
