Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

Preliminarily check:

  • the seal of the fuel pipes and connectors
  • the condition of the air intake circuit
Continue to Step 1 Fuel pipes damagedRenew or replace the pipes (see Assembly 1040B)
Air intake circuit component damagedReplace the component (see Assembly 1048A)
1CHECKING WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket

check

  • that there are no faults in the engine management control unit
  • the plausibility of all the parameters.
Continue to Step 2 An error is detected in the control unitContinue according to the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Lack of dialogue with the control unit Restore the connection between the engine management control unit and the diagnostic connector ( See   E5050  DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT ).
2CHECK ON FUEL FILTERAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition and cleanliness of the fuel filter: Continue to Step 3 Filter dirty Replace the filter element Op.   1044B20  Restore the condition of the filter, the pipes and the heater device
Filter faulty or damaged Replace the filter Op.   1044B10 
3LOW PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the fuel supply circuit, low pressure side: if necessary, use the diagnostic equipment (Examiner) to measure the pressure values Continue to Step 4 Pressure not correct: fuel filter faulty Replace the fuel filter Op.   1044B10 
Pressure not correct: electric pump faulty Replace the electric pump Op.   1040A70 
Pressure not correct: low pressure pipes faultyReplace the low pressure pipes (see Assembly 1060F)
4HIGH PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the fuel supply circuit, high pressure side: for example, using the diagnostic equipment (Examiner) to measure the pressure values Continue to Step 5 Pressure not correct: pressure pump faulty Replace the pressure pump Op.   1060E10 
Pressure not correct: manifold faulty Replace the manifold Op.   1060F30 
Pressure not correct: injectors faulty Replace the injectors Op.   1060F10 
Pressure not correct: high pressure pipes faultyReplace the high pressure pipes (see Asembly 1060F)
5CHECK ON CYLINDER COMPRESSIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Carry out the cylinder compression test Op.   0510A10  Continue to Step 6 Compression values not correct Restore the correct cylinder compression, for example, checking the seal of the injectors Op.   1060F10  and the cylinders (see OVERHAULING ENGINE, Subassembly 1004)
6VALVE CLEARANCE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the valve tappet clearance is correct. Op.   1036H14  Continue to Step 7 Clearance not correct Restore the correct valve clearance. Op.   1036H18 
7CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persistsSearch for the fault starting from another symptom'
