Hey guys,

Just got this code when I fired the car up after it was sitting for a couple weeks in the garage. Only 5600 miles on it and having fuel pressure issues......

Should I just clear the code by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and see if it comes back or should I take it into the dealer for warranty work? Hate to have to take it to the dealer. They are super slow to get anything done and I don't trust the techs too much with my Challenger after the issues I had with 2 dealers near me on my Trackhawk warranty work in the past.

I personally would take it to a dealership, try going to a different Dodge dealer and explaining you prior experience with the other dealersh.

My 2015 did the same thing at about 5,500 miles (maybe one year ago...car spends a lot of time in my garage). Went to my Dealer and even though it was still under warranty, I ended up doing it myself. I would not let my local Dealership even check my oil. At the time you could buy just the driver's side fuel rail but now, they make you buy both as one assy.

Wonder if they would just give me the rails and any other parts needed under warranty and let me do the work? I'd feel much better doing it myself as well.

I think that would void your warranty

My concern is if the car is having fuel pressure issues this could get to the point I could be stranded by the car.

In similar circumstances as you with a vehicle (added: with just 5K miles) with a CEL and error code pointing to a fuel pressure issue I left the CEL on and just brought the vehicle in to have the cause of the CEL (and engine dying shortly after a hot start) diagnosed and repaired.

(Took 3 visits: First time low pressure fuel pump was inspected and found bad. Replaced. 2nd time the fuel system control module was deemed the culprit and replaced. 3rd time a connector pin at the fuel pump was found to be loose. Tech tightened this up and so far the vehicle and its low pressure fuel system is working just fine.)

While I don't recommend it if you want to clear the code my advice is to buy a proper OBD2 scan tool to read the code, or codes, including the freeze frame data. Write all this down. Then clear the code. I'm very reluctant to disconnect the battery with a modern car unless absolutely required. And with a scan tool there is no reason to clear the code.

As an aside since 1996 -- when OBD2 first put in an appearance -- I have owned at least one OBD2 scan tool and the scan tool has paid for itself many times over.

Good info, thanks.

I got it scheduled at the dealer to be looked at Sept 23rd.
