Test Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. AO1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS FOR (DTC) P2284 OR P2288 
    • Perform the KOEO, KOER and Continuous on-demand self tests.
    • Retrieve and record all DTCs.

    IS DTC P2284 OR P2288 PRESENT? 

    Yes No
    For KOEO and Continuous DTC P2284 or P2288, Go to  AO2.
    For KOER DTC P2284 or P2288, Go to  AO9.    		 UNABLE to duplicate condition. REFER to SYMPTOM CHARTS - 6.0L DIESEL if a driveability concern exists.
  2. AO2 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2284 OR P2288 
    • Possible causes:
      • incorrect oil or viscosity
      • poor oil quality
      • gelled fuel/no fuel
      • low fuel pressure
      • biased ICP sensor
      • IPR valve
      • high-pressure oil system leak
      • high-pressure oil pump
      • PCM
    • Verify correct oil quality/viscosity and correct fuel grade are being used for the temperature conditions.

    IS THE OIL AND FUEL QUALITY OK? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO3. REPAIR the fuel or oil condition.
  3. AO3 CHECK FUEL PRESSURE 
    • Measure the fuel pressure at the regulator block.
    • Measure the fuel pressure at idle and on the road at WOT at full load. Fuel pressure at idle should be 310 kPa (45 psi) minimum and 207-482 kPa (30-70 psi) at WOT full load.

    IS THE FUEL PRESSURE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO4. REPAIR the fuel system concern.
  4. AO4 PERFORM THE KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST 
    • Perform the KOER On-Demand Self-Test.

    IS DTC P2284 OR P2288 PRESENT? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO6. Go to  AO12.
  5. AO6 ICP SENSOR CHECK 
    • Key on, engine off.
    • Access the ICP PID.

    IS THE ICP PID VOLTAGE BETWEEN 0.18 AND 0.24 VOLTS (EARLY BUILD) OR 0.15 AND 0.35 (LATE BUILD)? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO7. INSTALL a new ICP sensor.
  6. AO7 CHECK FOR OIL AERATION 
    • Accelerate the engine and hold at 3,300 rpm for three minutes.
    • Access the ICP PID.

    IS THE INJECTION CONTROL PRESSURE INCREASE GREATER THAN 12.4 MPA (1,800 PSI)? 

    Yes No
    CHANGE the engine oil. RETEST the system. Go to  AO8.
  7. AO8 CHECK THE IPR DUTY CYCLE UNDER VEHICLE LOAD 
    • Access the IPR PID.
    • Operate the vehicle at WOT and a full load condition.

    DOES THE IPR DUTY CYCLE INCREASE TO 65%? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new IPR valve. Unable to duplicate failure.
  8. AO9 KOER ON-DEMAND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2284, P2288 OR P2290 
    • DTC P2288 indicates that injection control pressure was above commanded desired pressure during self test mode.
    • DTC P2284 or P2290 indicate a difference in commanded and actual injection control pressure.
    • Possible causes:
      • incorrect oil or viscosity
      • poor oil quality
      • gelled fuel/no fuel
      • low fuel pressure
      • biased ICP sensor
      • IPR valve
      • high-pressure oil system leak
      • high-pressure oil pump
      • PCM
    • Verify correct oil quality/viscosity and correct fuel grade are being used for the temperature conditions.

    IS THE OIL AND FUEL QUALITY OK? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO10. REPAIR the fuel or oil condition.
  9. AO10 CHECK FUEL PRESSURE 
    • Measure the fuel pressure at the regulator block.
    • Measure the fuel pressure at idle and on the road at WOT at full load. Fuel pressure at idle should be 310 kPa (45 psi) minimum, and 310-551 kPa (45-80 psi) at WOT full load.

    IS THE FUEL PRESSURE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO12. REPAIR the fuel system concern.
  10. AO12 ICP SENSOR CHECK 
    • Key on, engine off.
    • Access the ICP PID.

    IS THE ICP PID VOLTAGE BETWEEN 0.18 AND 0.24 VOLTS (EARLY BUILD) OR 0.15 AND 0.35 (LATE BUILD)? 

    Yes No
    Go to  AO13. INSTALL a new ICP sensor.
  11. AO13 OIL AERATION CHECK 
    • Accelerate the engine to wide-open throttle and hold for three minutes.

    IS THE INJECTION CONTROL PRESSURE INCREASE GREATER THAN 12.4 MPA (1,800 PSI)? 

    Yes No
    CHANGE the engine oil. RETEST the system. Go to  AO14.
  12. AO14 CHECK THE ICP SENSOR VOLTAGE WHILE PERFORMING SELF TEST 
    NOTE: During KOER On-Demand Self Test, ICP will be commanded high 17 MPa (2465 psi), then low 5 MPa (725 psi) and then the EP will be commanded high and low.
    • Install the ICP/EBC Adapter Cable D94T-50-A or equivalent between the ICP sensor and the engine harness.
    • Measure the voltage between the ICP sensor signal circuit, harness side and ground.
    • Perform the KOER On-Demand self-test.

    DOES THE VOLTAGE READING INCREASE ABOVE 3 VOLTS AND THEN DECREASE TO APPROXIMATELY 1 VOLT DURING THE ICP PORTION OF THE KOER TEST? 

    Yes No
    If DTC P2284 or P2288 was displayed, INSTALL a new PCM. Go to DIAGNOSTIC SUBROUTINES - 6.0L DIESEL . Hard/Start/No Start Diagnostic Procedures. PERFORM the Monitor the ICP While Cranking Test.
