P1291 is pressure control valve 2 signal voltage excessivly high. The PCV is used to adjust supply pump discharge amount so as to adjust common rail pressure. Discharge amount from the supply pump to the common rail is determined by continuity timing to PCV.I hope this helps, post back with any other questions.
