Definitely not. Except for the most whacky edge cases, fried components are a hard failure. This is one of a whole pile of closed-loop servo systems. There is a pressure sensor (feedback) interpreted by the controller (ECU) which then sends a corresponding output to the regulator solenoid.
A high pressure signal could be the result of the failed regulator, or it could be a sensor circuit open. If the result of a failed regulator, the pressure sensor MIGHT show a fluctuating reading. Open sensor will show hard high for sure.
