P00CC Fuel Volume Regulator Solenoid Supply Voltage Control Circuit Low

EmissionsRelevant
Drive cycleNot required
Limp modePossible

The fuel volume regulator is the solenoid valve that meters how much fuel the high-pressure pump delivers (metering unit on diesels, pump control valve on some gasoline direct-injection engines). Many control modules switch such solenoids on both sides; P0001 to P0004 cover the control side, while these codes cover the supply side (high-side driver). P00CC reports a short to ground on the supply side. Rail pressure may then deviate, with reduced power or hard starting. None of the published manufacturer documents searched uses this code; the explanation follows regulations and comparable manufacturer monitors.

Likely causes

Supply wire chafed and shorted to ground
Regulator coil open or shorted (often built into the pump)
High-side driver in the engine control module faulty

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Loss of power or limp mode
  • Hard starting or jerking
