STEPCHECK TO BE PERFORMEDREMEDIAL ACTION IF THE CHECK IS NOT OK
1

High pressure fuel check

Connect the Examiner diagnostic equipment and select the engine control unit

Select the diesel fuel pressure parameter

Turn the key to the AVV position for several seconds

Check that the pressure is around 300 bar.

Move on to Step 2
2

Low pressure system check

If the high pressure value is wrong, check:

If the tank is empty or the low pressure fuel pump filter is blocked/dirty, if the low pressure pump is defective or the pressure relief valve (built into the pump) is blocked open

Low pressure pump relay faulty Fuse blown

Low pressure pump wiring interrupted

Fuel filter blocked

Leaks from the low pressure hydraulic circuit

OVER-FLOW valve on the filter faulty

Fill the tank with sufficient fuel

Replace the submerged electric pump
