Diagnosis & fix steps
Fuel Rail Pressure Too High.
LOGIC: The Suction Control Valve (SCV) is stuck or the ECM has lost control of the pressure regulation.

2. Check for "metal glitter" in the fuel filter (pump failure).
FIX: Replace the Suction Control Valve (SCV); perform "Fuel Pump Init" in Techstream.
