1. What does P0087 mean?
For 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV models in the US, this record associates P0087 with a title that includes forced engine shutdown, P228B, and P2635. However, the only verified source supplied is a diesel-fuel service bulletin, so its stated diesel-fuel cause and instructions are not established as applicable to these EVs.
2. Technical explanation
The diagnostic record’s canonical title/meaning includes: “Forced Engine Shutdown,” “DTC P228B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Control - Forced Engine Shutdown,” and “DTC P2635 Fuel Pump Flow Performance Correction.” The supplied NHTSA manufacturer communication, 18NA103, states that certain diesel fuels in cold ambient temperatures may gel or develop solids, potentially blocking an in-tank fuel-pump pickup. It lists P0087, P018B, P228A, P228B, and P2635 as possible engine-control-module codes. That bulletin evidence concerns diesel fuel and does not establish an EV-specific fault mechanism for a Bolt EV or Bolt EUV.
