P0092
Fuel Pressure Regulator A Control Circuit High
Fuel pressure regulator A control voltage above expected range — short to power or open ground. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
