Mercedes Sprinter Fuel Pressure Sensor – Pierburg | VS30 2.0L OM654 Diesel | #0009050603 (2019+)

A failed fuel pressure sensor on a VS30 Sprinter removes the ECU's ability to monitor the pressure inside the fuel system — causing it to operate on default values, log fault codes, and in many cases restrict engine output until the sensor is replaced. This is the Pierburg fuel pressure sensor for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine, a direct replacement that restores accurate pressure feedback and proper fuel system control.

What This Part Does

The fuel pressure sensor monitors pressure in the fuel circuit and feeds that data to the ECU in real time. On the OM654's common-rail injection system, the ECU uses fuel pressure readings to regulate the high-pressure pump's output, control injector pulse width, and verify that rail pressure is within the operating window required for efficient combustion. Fuel pressure data is also used for fault detection — if pressure drops below or rises above specification, the ECU logs a fault and can restrict fueling to protect the injection system. When the sensor drifts out of calibration, returns an implausible signal, or fails electrically, the ECU loses accurate pressure data and must either default to a fixed value or restrict operation — causing rough running, poor response, and fault codes that won't clear until the sensor is replaced.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pressure Sensor

• Check engine light with fault codes related to fuel pressure circuit or fuel rail pressure plausibility
• Rough idle, hesitation, or inconsistent throttle response with no other identified fuel system fault
• Engine entering reduced power mode due to fuel pressure monitoring failure
• Hard starting or extended cranking before the engine fires
• Fuel pressure fault codes that return after clearing without other injection system faults

When to Replace

Replace when the sensor is confirmed faulty by XENTRY or a compatible scan tool with active fuel pressure sensor fault codes, and the high-pressure pump, metering valve, and fuel filter have been ruled out as the source. Always use OEM — fuel pressure sensors are calibration-sensitive and aftermarket substitutes are known to produce signal errors that cause persistent faults even after installation.

VS30 OM654 Specific — VIN Verification Required

This fuel pressure sensor is for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine. It is not compatible with VS30 models equipped with the 3.0L OM642 or NCV3 Sprinters equipped with the 2.1L OM651. Always verify your engine code and VIN before ordering.
