What does P0092 mean?

P0092 is a generic (SAE) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It is defined as "Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Control Circuit High". It falls under the fuel & air metering / auxiliary emissions area of the vehicle’s powertrain system, and has the same core meaning across most makes and models.

When is P0092 set?

The onboard diagnostic system sets P0092 when it detects a condition matching "fuel pressure regulator 1 control circuit high" in the fuel & air metering / auxiliary emissions circuit or system. When the fault is confirmed, the module stores the code and, in most cases, turns on a warning light.

This code is generally moderate. The vehicle is often still drivable, but the underlying fault should be diagnosed before it leads to further problems.

Common symptoms

Possible causes

What to check first

  1. Scan for all stored and pending codes and note the freeze-frame data
  2. Inspect the wiring and connectors for the affected circuit
  3. Check for related leaks, loose components or obvious damage
  4. Test the relevant sensor and its reference/ground with a meter
  5. Clear the code and retest to see whether it returns

Frequently asked questions

What does the P0092 code mean?

P0092 means "Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Control Circuit High". It is a generic powertrain trouble code in the fuel & air metering / auxiliary emissions area.

Is it safe to drive with a P0092 code?

The vehicle is often still drivable with this code, but you should have it diagnosed soon so a moderate fault does not turn into a larger one.

How do I fix a P0092 code?

There is no single fix. Start by confirming the code with a scan tool, then work through the likely causes and checks above — inspecting wiring, connectors and the relevant components before replacing any parts. On most vehicles, confirm the diagnosis before repairs.

Can I clear the P0092 code myself?

You can clear the code with an OBD-II scan tool, but if the underlying fault is still present it will usually return. Clearing without repair is only useful to confirm whether the fault is active.
