2015 Chevy Silverado P018B Fuel Pressure Sensor Performance

[@Kuzican01]

Thanks very much for posting this. very helpful video. You explained everything very well, including location of fuel pressure sensor.

[@automotivated5934]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mark-ih2qe]

Make more videos on 2015 and newer 5.3 liter trucks.

[@automotivated5934]

A lot of them are still going to dealer shops being newer until a dealer shop screws them! Lol I’ll be sure to film them when customers bring them in! Thanks for the comment Mark.

Thx for learning how to "do chicken right"😅 Using old school tools & diagnostics to keep it simple, it may get deep, but it ain't rocket science 😅😅

[@automotivated5934]

Haha thanks for watching John. At the end of the day laws of electricity are still the same laws of electricity in 1930 and 2024. Lol

Great video... question what scan tool are you using?

[@gabinosanchez7563]

launch x431 it is a very good scanner

[@automotivated5934]

Right on the money. Lol. Mines a Pad V v4.0. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

Our daughter has an Acadia that popped up with this code and P0300, running very bad sometimes. Unfortunately, I had to put in a new fuel pump.

[@automotivated5934]

As usual there is more than one fix. Ha. That’s why diagnosing with just a code read isn’t the answer. Thanks for the input friend! Hope the video helped.

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

@@automotivated5934 right, can't always depend on the code. I once had an Envoy that was throwing an EVAP code (P0442 I think) and it ended up being a stuck fuel tank pressure sensor.

Will a bad sensor cause it to run badly by tricking the ecm?

[@davidking2171]

Hi , I’ve got 2011 chevy Tahoe LTZ 5.3L, and I diagnosed it with same code: P018B fuel pressure sensor, but I fail to find where it located is it close to the fuel tank, or just below the injectors? Please advise Note: I can see my Tahoe has an issue with playing RPM only in summer time after the both fans activated due to hot temp.

[@automotivated5934]

If you trace the bigger stainless line from fuel tank to fuel rail you will find the pressure sensor. Should be the only thing with wires to it in the line. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you need more help.

[@davidking2171]

@@automotivated5934 many thanks for your help bro.. I found the fuel pressure sensor close to the gas tank 👍 one more question please Is the Map sensor on the injector side has an effect on my issue with the RPM? I was thinking to replace both the map sensor and the fuel pressure sensor please advise Thanks again 🙏

[@biglewdog411]

Nice vid, thanks. What is the best way to access this fuel pressure sensor on top of the fuel tank? I really do not want to take my 17 silverado to a shop..

[@automotivated5934]

Hey brother. This pressure sensor is in-line about two feet in front of fuel tank. It’s easy to access without removing anything.

[@biglewdog411]

Thank you my friend

[@mariad5534]

Thanks, I hope you are right. I’m going to check it out now…There’s no way I want to remove the gas tank to change a fuel sensor.Thanks again…

[@westonverhulst]

what's the tool you're using to check the pressure sensor values? The touch screen device

[@automotivated5934]

Hey sorry for late response. That would be a Launch x-431 bi directional scan tool. There are many out there but I’ve had great luck with this one. Good investment if you plan on fixing your own modern vehicles.

[@sacred4s]

is that B47 on wiring system locator and where is PCM at? and what color wiring that connect to fuel pressure sensor? whats difference between fuel line pressure sensor signal and Fuel pressure sensor signal?

[@brokebitchess]

I have a 2010 traverse getting code p018b just replaced fuel tank would this be inside the tank or out..

[@automotivated5934]

Hey thanks ace! The fuel pressure sensor is between the tank and the engine bay. Find the fuel supply line coming out of tank. Normally metal tubing. It should be the only thin with an electrical connector on that line. Good luck friend. Holler if you need me.

[@brokebitchess]

CHANGED IT STILL NOT TURN ON STILL GETTING THE SAME CODE NOW EVEN PO18C WOULS YOU MIGHT JUMP TO ANY CLUES?

[@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585]

The only issue with the video is you did not show clearly where its located. But other than that good testing video.

[@automotivated5934]

Hey man thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I mentioned in line two feet in front of the tank but I could have showed better footage on that. Lol. Thanks for the feedback!

[@muhamedsajid308]

I have Impala 2013 I have the code po18 B. Fuel pressure sensor B circuit range/ performance. But the car works normally. Should I change it? Is it located behind the left front wheel?

[@lynardstewart8832]

Hey thanks for the video. Question do you know where the Fuel pressure senor is located on a GMC Yukon 07.

[@automotivated5934]

I believe the fuel pressure sensor is on the fuel line just in front of the tank. f01.justanswer.com/caprio23/d45c4724-2194-4b87-9eab-1225c7270d4e_2.PNG

[@automotivated5934]

Thanks for watching Lynard! Let me know how you make out.

[@psmythie7920]

Could this cause a rough idle or misfire if it’s going bad? I have replaced injectors, HPFP, and spark plugs and wires, and both upstream O2 sensors.

[@automotivated5934]

Thanks for watching friend! Absolutely could. But the fuel pressure systems are very sensitive to throwing codes on these Chevys in my experience. Have you pulled any codes yet?

[@vinceleon5922]

Where can I get a diagnostic tool like that?

[@automotivated5934]

Hey Vince. I got mine from a seller named Kingbolen on Amazon. Mine is an Launch X431 pad V.

[@Eugene777fly]

Hey thanks for sharing. Will this FP Sensor be behind the intake manifold or in the same location as you described on a 2015 Chevy Tahoe? Theres no information anywhere online for Tahoe.

[@automotivated5934]

I haven’t done one on a Tahoe yet, but I would guess the fuel pressure sensor would be underneath the vehicle in front of the tank. There is normally a fuel rail pressure sensor also that is in the engine bay as you described. The fuel pressure sensor reads pressure from low pressure pump. The fuel rail pressure sensor reads pressure from the high pressure pump on all the newer GM vehicles I have seen with Direct Injection engines. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@automotivated5934]

Thanks for watching! Good luck!

[@Eugene777fly]

@@automotivated5934 awesome i found the sensor by the tank. Its logging P018b and P2635. Only throwing codes on hot days or hard acceleration. Not having any issues while driving, just the codes. Most likely this sensor. Could this be the flex fuel sensor? The one by the tank?

[@automotivated5934]

@@Eugene777fly So to set a P2635 the actual fuel pressure (read by the fuel pressure sensor) is outside of the commanded fuel pressure by at least 5 psi for more than 30 seconds. To set a P018b the pcm isnt seeing a change in the fuel pressure under different demands. Without being there to verify I would say changing the fuel pressure sensor is a safe bet.

[@colombia198750]

Hey bud I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 Could you help me locate my fuel pressure sensor ?

Thanks for watching. Sorry for way late response. Lol. Hope you made out alright!

[@texasmike7994]

Is that a problem that would cause the truck to cut out while driving?

[@automotivated5934]

I would lean more towards the low pressure fuel pump itself. But I think it’s possible that sensor could cause that. Are you getting a p018b code?

[@_darthraider_6784]

yeah after installing a new PCM im getting this error code and a few others dealing with the fuel pressure do I have to reprogram my new pcm ? Is this why Im having this code, I tried clearing the codes with my scan tool but they keep coming back, So I replaced the fuel p sensor and the fuel pump, still getting the same code so something needs to be relearned on the PCM I believe yes? Thanks

[@tjalsaedi406]

I’m have the same issue I have the sensor replaced and the codes keeps on coming back have you ever found out what the problem?

[@automotivated5934]

I’m surprised that’s the only codes you have. I would lean more towards an incorrect pcm for that specific vehicle. But maybe it’s a programming issue. Sorry for late response. Did you make out ok?

If you have 2015 with 5.3 I have the part number. The one I replaced that’s on the fuel line underneath is the low pressure sensor before the fuel is bumped up in pressure by the high pressure fuel pump near the fuel rail. Please use OEM AC DELCO for sensors like this. The AC DELCO part number is 13516496.

Hey Eric what vehicle are you working on? The P018x codes for Chevy are only related to the three wire pressure sensor in the fuel line. It should be between the tank and the fuel rail under the hood. Let me know what type of vehicle and I can give you some help. Thanks for the comment Eric!

Thanks a lot! I don’t like charging customers for parts they don’t need! Some garages don’t charge diagnostic time but then you pay for parts and labor you might not need. Lol.
