3233006 - B13 ENGINE STARTS WITH DIFFICULTY'

0	PRELIMINARY CHECKS	All OK	Problems met	Operation
		Results of the tests
	Check, in order: that there are no obstructions in the air filter; the condition of the air intake circuit seal of the diesel pipes; that there is no petrol, water, paraffin or dirt in the diesel filter. the correct operation of the exhaust pipes.	Continue to Step 1	Air intake circuit component	Repair or replace the defective component
			Filter blocked	Replace the air filter Op. 1048A10
			Leaks from the diesel pipes	Retighten the pipes, and if necessary replace them.
			Presence of water, petrol, paraffin or dirt detected	Clean the tank and pipes and replace the diesel filter cartridge Op. 1044B20
			Obstruction in the exhaust system	Replace the damaged system component
1	CHECKING WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Connect the diagnostic equipment to the diagnostic socket. Check: for errors in the control unit plausibility of all the parameters	Continue to Step 2	An error is detected in the control unit	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
		Continue to Step 2	unreliable parameters	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2	HIGH PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Connect the diagnostic equipment to the diagnostic socket. Check as described in the test See Test 1060D Check high pressure fuel circuit that the diesel pressure parameter is correct	Continue to Step 10	Pressure not correct	Continue to Step 3
3	CHECK ON RETURN LOW PRESSURE	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check as described in the test See Test 1060A Check low pressure fuel circuit that the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is under 1 bar	Continue to Step 4	Pressure above maximum limit: return pipe to tank blocked	Repair the pipe; if necessary replace it
4	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check as described in the test See Test 1060B Check low pressure fuel circuit that the diesel pressure between the filter and pressure pump is between 2 and 3 bar	Continue to Step 10	Pressure below minimum limit or above maximum limit	Continue to Step 5
5	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Close the return pipe downstream of the low pressure regulator valve, located in the fuel filter cover, using the special tool and carry out the test See Test 1060B Check low pressure fuel circuit again with the pipe closed, checking that the filter outlet pressure remains below 2 bar	Continue to Step 6	Pressure rises to 5 bar: blocked pressure regulation valve on filter support	Replace the diesel filter cover
6	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 bar	Continue to Step 7	Difference in pressure greater than 1 bar	Replace the diesel filter cartridge
7	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is over 2.2 bar	Continue to Step 10	Pressure below 2 bar	Continue to Step 8
8	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Measure the difference in pressure between electric pump outlet and filter inlet, checking that it is less than 0.3 bar	Continue to Step 9	Difference in pressure greater than 0.3 bar	Replace the pipe
9	LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check as described in the test See Test 1040AA Check supply voltage and absorption current that the pump's supply voltage is 12V and that the absorbed current is between 2 and 10 amps.	Continue to Step 10	Voltage < 12 V	Check electric wiring See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
			Current > 10 Amp: pump defective	Replace the fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70
			Current < 2 Amp.: pump blocked	Replace the fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70 and clean the fuel tank
10	CORRECT OPERATION CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Replace the DRV high-pressure regulator and check that the fault is no longer present	End of diagnosis	Fault persists	Continue to Step 11
11	CORRECT OPERATION CHECK	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Replace the pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer present	End of diagnosis	Fault persists	Continue to Step 12
12	CHECK ON CYLINDER COMPRESSION	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Carry out the cylinder compression test	Continue to Step 14	Cylinder compression insufficient	Continue to Step 13
13	CHECK ON CAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT COMPRESSION	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Carry out R.R. on head to check the valve sealCheck the condition of the cylinders/piston rings	Continue to Step 14	Insufficient valve seal	Overhaul the cylinder head Op. 1016E10
		Continue to Step 14	Cylinders/piston rings worn	Repair the leak
14	CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check that the fault is no longer present	End of diagnosis	Fault persists: control unit faulty	Replace engine management control unit Op. 1060G80
