P2285 on Ford
Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Low
P2285 on Ford vehicles indicates injector control pressure sensor circuit low. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Excursion. This code means the engine computer detected a low-voltage (or out-of-range low) signal from the injector control pressure (ICP) sensor, used mainly on certain diesel engines with high-pressure oil-actuated fuel injection. This sensor monitors the pressure that operates the injectors. A faulty low signal means the computer can't accurately manage injection pressure, which can cause hard starting, no-start, rough running, stalling, or reduced power. Because it directly affects fueling, it should be diagnosed promptly. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $100 to $350, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2285
- •Faulty injector control pressure (ICP) sensor
- •Wiring shorted to ground or open in the sensor circuit
- •Corroded or oil-contaminated sensor connector
- •Low or contaminated high-pressure oil supply
- •Failed high-pressure oil pump (related)
- •PCM/IDM circuit fault (rare)
P2285 on Ford by Model
Ford Excursion(1 issue)
- 6.0L Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) Valve Leak2003-2005
The IPR valve on the 6.0L Power Stroke can develop an external oil leak or fail to regulate injection control pressure, causing hard starting, rough idle, and loss of power. The o-ring seal deteriorates over time.

What does P2285 mean on Ford?▼
P2285 stands for "Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Low." This code means the engine computer detected a low-voltage (or out-of-range low) signal from the injector control pressure (ICP) sensor, used mainly on certain diesel engines with high-pressure oil-actuated fuel injection. This sensor monitors the pressure that operates the injectors. A faulty low signal means the computer can't accurately manage injection pressure, which can cause hard starting, no-start, rough running, stalling, or reduced power. Because it directly affects fueling, it should be diagnosed promptly. On Ford specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2285 on Ford vehicles?▼
Common causes on Ford: Faulty injector control pressure (ICP) sensor, Wiring shorted to ground or open in the sensor circuit, Corroded or oil-contaminated sensor connector, Low or contaminated high-pressure oil supply, Failed high-pressure oil pump (related). Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
