P0087 on Chrysler
Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low
P0087 on Chrysler vehicles indicates fuel rail/system pressure - too low. Au7o has documented this code across 4 Chrysler models — most commonly on 300, Aspen, Sebring. This code means the fuel rail or fuel system pressure has dropped below the level the engine's computer expects. The computer monitors a fuel pressure sensor and has seen pressure fall too low, meaning the engine isn't getting enough fuel — especially noticeable under acceleration or load. This is most common on direct-injection and diesel systems that run very high pressures. Symptoms include hard starting, stalling, hesitation, lack of power, and possible limp mode. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $50 to $1,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0087
- •Clogged or dirty fuel filter
- •Weak or failing fuel pump (lift pump or high-pressure pump)
- •Faulty fuel pressure regulator or control valve
- •Restricted or leaking fuel lines
- •Faulty fuel pressure sensor
- •Air in the fuel system or running low on fuel
- •Worn high-pressure pump (direct injection/diesel)
P0087 on Chrysler by Model
Chrysler 300(2 issues)
- TIPM Electrical Failures2011-2016
The TIPM main fuse and relay box circuit board traces blow from current spikes, shorts, or corrosion. Water intrusion common. Causes random electrical issues affecting fuel pump, lights, wipers, horn, windows, and safety systems.
- Fuel Pump Relay Failure (TIPM-Related)2011-2016
Fuel pump relay inside TIPM fails, preventing fuel pump activation. Vehicle has full electrical power but won't start due to no fuel delivery. Related to broader TIPM issue, specifically affects ASD/Fuel Pump relay circuits.
Chrysler Aspen(1 issue)
- TIPM Electrical Module Failure2007-2009
The Aspen shares the TIPM electrical module design with other Chrysler products. Fuel pump relay failure, random electrical activation, and battery drain are common. Same fundamental TIPM design flaw as Town & Country and 300.
Chrysler Sebring(1 issue)
- TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) Failure2007-2010
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), located in the engine compartment near the air cleaner assembly, houses all important fuses and power relays. Water intrusion into the module can cause corrosion and electrical system failures. The TIPM controls critical systems including fuel pump operation, headlights, airbags, door locks, and air conditioning.
Chrysler Town & Country(1 issue)
- TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) Failure2008-2016
The TIPM central fuse/relay box controls nearly all vehicle electrical functions. Internal relays, especially the fuel pump relay, fail due to solder joint cracking from thermal cycling. Causes random activation of lights, wipers, horn, sliding doors losing power, battery drain, and no-start conditions. Class-action lawsuit filed. Most severe in 2008 and 2010-2011 model years.

What does P0087 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0087 stands for "Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low." This code means the fuel rail or fuel system pressure has dropped below the level the engine's computer expects. The computer monitors a fuel pressure sensor and has seen pressure fall too low, meaning the engine isn't getting enough fuel — especially noticeable under acceleration or load. This is most common on direct-injection and diesel systems that run very high pressures. Symptoms include hard starting, stalling, hesitation, lack of power, and possible limp mode. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 4 models.
