New Case Study: HDi Pressure Control

This Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI (code RHY Bosch system) was reported to be randomly losing power and bringing on the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). We initially started off by plugging the scan-tool in and we noted the following fault codes…
P0191 Fuel rail pressure signal coherence.
P1138 Fuel pressure control solenoid circuit range/performance.
Hmm… where to start?
