Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410-, CHECKING

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Audi A4 Quattro, 2014 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2013 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

General Description

The low-side fuel pressure is constantly monitored by the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- and sent to the Engine Control Module -J623-. If this pressure deviates from the desired pressure, the Engine Control Module -J623- sends a signal to the Fuel Pump Control Module -J538-. The Fuel Pump Control Module -J538- then sends a PWM signal to the Transfer Fuel Pump -G6- until the desired fuel pressure is achieved.

Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 2 -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- harness connector. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- harness connector terminals 1 to 2 for voltage. IGNITION: OFF. SPECIFIED VALUE: About 5.0 V. -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 4 -- NO: GO TO: Step 3
3	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 27 for resistance. CHECK: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 13 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 4 -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5
4	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 58 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Low Fuel Pressure Sensor -G410-. Refer to appropriate repair information. GO TO: Step 5 -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5
5	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Engine Control Module -J623- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. Clear the DTC's. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
