Start diagnosis

Procedure

Checking voltage

- Disconnect the electrical harness connector - 3 -for the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247).





- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter check the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) electrical harness connector for voltage.









- Switch the ignition off.

If specified value is obtained:

- Replace the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247). Refer to the Repair Information.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring connections

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

- Install the test box.

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

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Using the a multimeter check the following wiring connection for an open circuit.









Specified resistance 1.5 ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Check the wiring for an open, high resistance or short circuit to voltage or ground.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

If the DTC does return, no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply is OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- 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. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
