Cause
Faulty injection control pressure sensor
On an engine where high-pressure oil drives the injectors, the sensor confirming that pressure arrived. Fuel is the payload and oil is the force, so a fault here presents as fuel starvation and a no-start on an engine with perfect fuel supply and compression.
Typically a moderate job.
Some of these codes mean you should stop driving
1 of the 9 codes this can cause indicate a fault where continuing to drive risks damage or is unsafe. Which one you have matters more than the cause does — read the code's own page before deciding.
Codes this can cause (9)

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
