What causes P1212 on a Ford?

Stuck-closed IPR valve preventing pressure build Failed HPOP or broken drive gear Large high-pressure oil leak (blown injector O-ring or rail plug) Failed ICP sensor reading zero Low batteries cranking too slowly to build pressure

How do I fix P1212 on a Ford?

Verify cranking speed — weak batteries cause false ICP faults Unplug the ICP sensor: if it starts, the sensor was lying Check IPR duty cycle during crank on a scanner Air-test the high-pressure system for major leaks Replace the IPR, HPOP or ICP sensor per test results
