Injector Control Pressure (ICP) Sensor Repair Guide
Common Symptoms of ICP Sensor Failure:
- Hard starting or no-start condition
- Check Engine Light illuminated
- Rough idle or poor performance
- DTC codes P0191, P0192, or P0193
Repair Procedure:
1. Initial Diagnosis
- Connect diagnostic scanner to verify ICP sensor-related trouble codes
- Check actual ICP readings against specifications
- Inspect wiring harness for damage or corrosion
2. Location and Access
- Locate the ICP sensor on the fuel rail or high-pressure oil rail
- Remove any covering components or shields for access
- Clean the area around the sensor to prevent contamination
3. Removal Process
- Disconnect the battery's negative terminal
- Unplug the electrical connector from the ICP sensor
- Use appropriate wrench size to remove the sensor (typically 24mm or 1-1/16")
- Be prepared for some oil leakage during removal
4. Installation
- Clean the sensor mounting surface thoroughly
- Install new o-ring if provided with replacement sensor
- Thread new sensor carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading
- Torque to manufacturer specifications (typically 20-25 ft-lbs)
- Reconnect electrical connector until it clicks
5. Post-Installation Steps
- Reconnect battery
- Clear any stored trouble codes
- Start engine and check for leaks
- Verify proper ICP readings with scanner
- Test drive to ensure proper operation
Tools Required:
- Diagnostic scanner
- Socket set with appropriate size for sensor
- Torque wrench
- Basic hand tools
- Clean rags
Note: This repair procedure may vary depending on vehicle make and model. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.

Common Failure Symptoms of Injector Control Pressure (ICP) Sensor
Injector Control Pressure (ICP) Sensor: Signs of Failure & Maintenance Guide
Common Signs of ICP Sensor Failure:
1. Hard Starting or No Start Condition
When the ICP sensor fails, the engine may have difficulty starting or fail to start completely because the PCM cannot properly regulate fuel pressure.
2. Poor Engine Performance
A failing sensor can cause:
- Rough idle
- Hesitation during acceleration
- Loss of power
- Decreased fuel economy
3. Check Engine Light
A malfunctioning ICP sensor will typically trigger the check engine light and store specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
4. Black Smoke
Incorrect fuel pressure readings can cause over-fueling, resulting in black exhaust smoke.
Maintenance Schedule:
Regular Inspection:
The ICP sensor should be inspected during routine maintenance, typically every 30,000 miles or when symptoms occur.
Replacement Intervals:
- Preventative replacement: 100,000-120,000 miles
- Earlier replacement may be needed based on operating conditions
- Should be inspected whenever fuel system diagnostics are performed
Additional Maintenance Notes:
- Keep electrical connections clean and free from corrosion
- Check wiring harness for damage during inspections
- Consider replacement if engine has undergone major fuel system repairs
Note: Actual service intervals may vary based on vehicle make, model, and operating conditions. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific maintenance schedules.
