Causes
- Open, shorted, or corroded wiring between sensor/module and main control module
- Faulty or poorly seated connector at the sensor/module
- No power (fuse, relay, wiring) or poor ground to the sensor/module
- Failed low-pressure fuel system sensor or sensor module
- CAN/LIN bus fault, missing termination, or network interference
- Intermittent connection (broken wire inside harness) or water ingress
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or network warning illuminated
- No fuel pressure reading available in scan tool PIDs for low-pressure sensor
- Intermittent or no engine start, rough idle, or reduced performance (if fuel control affected)
- Possible limp-home mode if vehicle control strategy requires the sensor
- Other communication-related DTCs present (network errors)
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs and note freeze frame/occurrence data
- Check for other network communication DTCs (U0100, U0121, etc.)
- Inspect sensor connector for corrosion, bent pins, moisture, or damage
- Verify fuses and relays that feed the sensor/module
- Backprobe or disconnect connector and measure reference voltage and ground
- Check wiring continuity and resistance between sensor and the ECU/network node
Signal parameters
- Analog-type pressure sensors: signal typically spans ~0.5–4.5 VDC proportional to pressure (verify OEM spec)
- Sensor power supply commonly uses a regulated 5 V reference; measure key-on voltage at sensor connector
- Digital sensor/module: periodic CAN/LIN messages for pressure data — update rate is vehicle-specific (typically 1–10 Hz or faster)
- CAN bus idle/differential behaviour: messages present on bus when modules communicating; missing or no activity indicates bus or node problem
- Ground resistance: sensor ground should be low (near 0 ohms to chassis); high resistance can cause communication/failure
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable scan tool. Record U066F and any related codes, freeze frame, and live PIDs for fuel pressure and network status.
- Verify whether the low-pressure fuel PID is present and updating. Note if other modules are reporting normally on the same bus.
- Visually inspect the sensor/module connector and harness for corrosion, water ingress, damage, or loose pins. Repair as needed.
- With key ON engine OFF, backprobe the sensor connector: confirm reference voltage (typically 5 V), signal voltage, and ground continuity to chassis. Compare to OEM specs.
- Check fuses and relays that supply the sensor/module. Replace faulty items and recheck communication.
- Verify wiring continuity between sensor and its control module/ECU. Look for opens, shorts to battery or ground, and intermittent faults (wiggle test while monitoring).
- Check network physical layer: measure CAN/LIN voltages and observe message traffic with a scope or CAN bus analyzer. Confirm termination resistors and absence of excessive noise.
- If wiring and bus tests are good, substitute a known-good sensor or module (if available) and recheck communication.
- Clear codes and perform a road/drive cycle or reproduce conditions to confirm whether U066F returns.
- If the fault persists after sensor/module substitution and wiring is verified, consider module replacement or dealer-level diagnostics for control module software/firmware updates.
Likely causes
- Damaged connector pins or corrosion at the low-pressure fuel sensor
- Open or short in sensor signal or CAN/LIN communication wires
- Blown fuse or failed power supply to the sensor/module
- Failed low-pressure fuel sensor/module
- CAN bus termination resistor missing or short to battery/chassis
- Intermittent harness damage (chafing, pinch) causing dropouts
Fault status
Status
U066F — Lost Communication With Low Pressure Fuel System Sensor: the vehicle controller did not receive expected messages or valid data from the low-pressure fuel sensor/module. The fault may be intermittent or permanent; further electrical and network diagnostics are required.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours
