Test requirements

The Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) OK.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) ( J623) fuses OK.

The fuel filter OK.

The battery voltage at least 12.5 V.

All electrical consumers switched off (radiator fan must NOT run during test).

A/C switched off.

The fuel tank at least 1/4 filled.

The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ General Diagnosis ] General Diagnosis.

Start diagnosis

- Remove engine cover - arrows -.





Checking voltage

- Disconnect the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410 ) electrical harness connector - 2 -.





- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) electrical harness connector for voltage.









- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:

- Replace the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410). Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

- Install the test box. Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Service and Repair.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623 ). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Service and Repair.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

End of diagnosis
