Cts2 Fuel Pressure Monitoring: What You Need To Know

The Edge CTS2 monitor can be used to monitor fuel pressure, but it requires additional accessories to do so. This is because there are no existing sensors from the factory. The best place to monitor fuel pressure is the test port on the side of the secondary filter housing. Users will need a fuel pressure test adapter, a section of braided flex hose, the EDGE EAS Kit, and an Edge 0-100 psi pressure gauge. The CTS2 can also be used to monitor fuel rail pressure through the OBDII port on an LB7.

The CTS2 can monitor fuel pressure with additional accessories

The best place to install the sensor is on the test port of the secondary filter housing. You will need a fuel pressure test adapter and a section of braided flex hose. You can find kits that include these parts from companies like Sinister Diesel and Edge.

Additionally, you will need the Edge EAS Kit and an Edge 0-100 psi pressure gauge to monitor fuel pressure. These parts can be purchased separately or as part of a kit.

It is important to note that some vehicles, like the LB7, will require additional sensors to monitor fuel pressure. The CTS2 can read fuel rail pressure through the OBDII port, but you may need to install a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure between the lift pump and the high-pressure fuel pump.

Overall, while the CTS2 can monitor fuel pressure, you will need to purchase and install additional accessories to do so.

The Edge Accessory System (EAS) is an additional system that can be used with the CTS2 to monitor fuel pressure. The EAS includes a 12V accessory kit, a universal sensor input, and a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is installed in the fuel system, and the data is sent to the CTS2 via the EAS system.

Some users have expressed concern that the cost of the EAS system is high, especially when compared to the cost of the CTS2 itself. There are alternative pressure sensors available on the market that are cheaper than the Edge sensor. However, it is important to ensure that any alternative sensors are compatible with the CTS2 and EAS systems.

In addition to the pressure sensor, an adapter may be required to connect the sensor to the fuel system. The type of adapter depends on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the location of the pressure sensor installation. Some users have recommended installing the sensor in the bleeder screw of the fuel filter head, while others have suggested cutting the line from the filter to the CP4. It is important to consult a professional or a mechanic before making any modifications to your vehicle's fuel system.

Overall, the CTS2 is a powerful tool for monitoring vehicle performance, and with the addition of the EAS system and a pressure sensor, it can also be used to monitor fuel rail pressure in an LB7 vehicle.

The CTS2 can monitor fuel pressure with an EAS pressure sensor

The EAS pressure sensor is sold separately from the CTS2 and must be installed in addition to the CTS2. The sensor is typically installed in the fuel bowl or fuel filter housing of the vehicle. The sensor connects to the CTS2 via a daisy chain or the OBDII port.

Once installed, the EAS pressure sensor can provide real-time data on the vehicle's fuel pressure, which can be useful for troubleshooting or performance tuning. The sensor can measure fuel pressure in the range of 0-100 psi and has a working temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

It is important to note that the CTS2 does not come with a factory fuel pressure sensor, so the EAS pressure sensor is required if you want to monitor fuel pressure. Additionally, the sensor may require additional adapters or fittings, depending on the specific vehicle and installation location.

Overall, the CTS2 with the EAS pressure sensor can provide valuable fuel pressure data for vehicle owners and enthusiasts looking to optimize their vehicle's performance and troubleshoot any fuel-related issues.

The CTS2 can monitor fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge

First, you will need to buy a fuel pressure sensor. This sensor will need to be compatible with your vehicle's fuel pressure test port. For example, for a Ford 6.0L Powerstroke, you will need a 1/8 NPT pressure sensor. You will also need an adapter to convert the 1/8 NPT to the metric thread pitch of the pressure test port on the secondary fuel filter housing. These sensors can be purchased from companies like Amazon, Edge, or ISSPRO.

Next, you will need to install the sensor. There are a few different ways to do this, depending on your vehicle. One common method is to remove the bleeder screw from the fuel filter head and screw in the pressure sensor. If the sensor is too large to fit, you may need to use an extension or a 90-degree adapter. Another option is to cut the line from the filter to the CP4 and install the sensor there.

Once the sensor is installed, you will need to configure it through the CTS2 monitor. This typically involves selecting the correct pressure range, such as 0-100 psi. The CTS2 monitor may automatically fill in the other values, but if not, you will need to enter them manually.

It is important to note that the CTS2 monitor may not provide accurate fuel pressure readings without the use of a mechanical gauge. In some cases, the monitor may need to be calibrated by comparing its readings to those of a manual gauge. This can help ensure that you are getting accurate information about your vehicle's fuel pressure.

The CTS2 can monitor fuel pressure with an aftermarket sensor

The Edge Products website offers a range of parts to monitor fuel pressure, including the EAS Universal Sensor Input 5-Volt and the EAS Pressure Sensor 0-100 PSI 1/8" NPT. These sensors can be installed by the vehicle owner, with some basic knowledge and tools. The sensors are connected to the CTS2 via a daisy chain and provide accurate fuel pressure readings.

It is important to note that the CTS2 may not provide fuel pressure readings without these additional sensors, as there is no factory-fitted sensor for fuel pressure in some vehicles. The CTS2 is a valuable tool for vehicle owners who want to monitor their vehicle's performance and make enhancements, and with the addition of aftermarket sensors, fuel pressure can be effectively monitored.
