Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Verify the following conditions do not exist:
- B47B Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor - Poor Connection/Skewed
- Fuel - Contaminated/Poor Quality - Refer to: Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis , & Fuel System Specifications
- Fuel System - Leaking - Refer to: Fuel Leak Diagnosis
- If a condition exists
Repair or replace as necessary
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Engine - Idling
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Pressure Sensor = 370 to 450 kPa (54 to 65 PSI)
- If less than 370 kPa (54 PSI)
Refer to: Fuel System Diagnosis
- If greater than 450 kPa (65 PSI)
Refer to: Fuel Return System Diagnosis
- Go to next step: If between 370 and 450 kPa (54 and 65 PSI)
- If less than 370 kPa (54 PSI)
- Perform the following procedure/test: Cylinder Power Balance Test
Verify the procedure/test passes.
- If the procedure/test does not pass
Replace the component that failed the test: Q17 Fuel Injector
- Go to next step: If the procedure/test passes
- If the procedure/test does not pass
- Q18A Fuel Pressure Regulator 1
- Q18C Fuel Pressure Regulator 3
- Perform the scan tool control function: Fuel Pressure Control - Regulator 1 - Increase & Decrease
Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor = The value should change with each command.
- If the value does not change
Replace the component: G18 Fuel Pump - High Pressure
- Go to next step: If the value changes
- If the value does not change
- Perform the scan tool control function: Fuel Pressure Control - Regulator 2 - Increase & Decrease
Verify the scan tool parameter: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor = The value should change with each command.
- If the value does not change
Replace the component: Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2
- Go to next step: If the value changes
- If the value does not change
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- In order to perform step 9 - 12, the fuel temperature must be greater than 10°C (50°F) or misdiagnosis may occur.
- Leave the electrical connector connected.
- Disconnect the component: Fuel Return Hose @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Plug the fuel return hose(s) in order to prevent leakage.
- Install suitable hose to the component: Outlet @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Place the other end of the hose into a suitable container.
- Engine - Idling - Until air is purged from the hose
- Engine - Idling - For 15 s
Verify the container contains less than 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz)
- If 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz) or greater
Replace the component: Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2
- Go to next step: If less than 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz)
- If 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz) or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Install the component: Fuel Return Hose @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q17 Fuel Injector - All
- Disconnect the component: Fuel Injection Fuel Return Pipe @ Q17 Fuel Injector - All - Refer to: Fuel Injector Fuel Return Pipe Replacement
Plug the fuel return hose(s) in order to prevent leakage.@Diesel Fuel Separator & Fuel Rail
- Engine - Cranking - For 15 s
- Verify the condition does not exist: Leaking @ Q17 Fuel Injector
- If a condition exists
Replace the appropriate component: Q17 Fuel Injector
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- If a condition exists
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Install the component: Fuel Injection Fuel Return Pipe
- Perform the following steps:
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q17 Fuel Injector - All
- Remove the component: F5BA Fuse@X50B Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block
- Disconnect the electrical connector: E12 Glow Plug
- Remove the component: E12 Glow Plug - One at a time
- Place and hold a clean shop towel over the component: Threaded Hole @ Cylinder Head - Glow Plug
- Engine - Cranking - For 6 s
Verify the condition does not exist: Fuel @ Shop Towel
NOTE:The component must be discarded whenever removed and replaced with a NEW component:
- If a condition exists
Replace the appropriate component: Q17 Fuel Injector
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Test or replace the component: G18 Fuel Pump - High Pressure
Scan Tool Device Control: Fuel Pressure Control - Regulator 1 - Controls the following components:
Do NOT use the following tool or the incorrect test results will occur: Remote Start Switch
Perform the following test for all 6 components. - One at a time
