A common problem found in various Honda CR-V model years, including the 2005 model, is a malfunctioning fuel tank pressure sensor. Unfortunately, replacing this sensor is not an easy task as it is integrated into the fuel pump assembly, housed inside the fuel tank itself. When the sensor malfunctions, it triggers OBD2 fault codes, leading to the check engine light turning on. To fix this issue, it is advisable to bring your vehicle to a professional repair shop since the process involves dropping the fuel tank. While the replacement part is not expensive, the labor costs can add up due to the complex nature of the task, especially without access to specialized equipment like an overhead lift.
In a 2005 Honda CRV, you can find the fuel pressure regulator positioned at the end of the fuel rail where it connects to the injectors before sending fuel back into the vehicle.
