184000002 - B10 ENGINE DOES NOT START / UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

The engine does not start. When the key is turned, the instruments light up, the starter motor turns to the Avv position, but the engine will not start.
The MIL warning light should come on with the ignition on and go out once the engine has started;If the Code is faulty, the CODE system failure will be indicated by the instrument panel.
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Turn the ignition on and check that the CODE is working properly

Check:

  • that the inertia switch has not cut in;
  • that there is fuel in the tank
  • air intake circuit;
  • correct operation of the flow modulating valve;
  • correct operation of the exhaust pipes;
  • that there are no leaks from the high- and low-pressure fuel pipes;
Continue to Step 1CODE fault message presentContinue as instructed in the Table See table K52 CODE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT ON
Operation of inertia switchRestore correct operation
No fuelPut fuel in the tank
Air filter dirty or partly obstructedReplace the filter element Op. 1048A14
Incorrect operation of flow modulating valveContinue to Step 1
Exhaust blockedRepair the exhaust pipes
There are leaksEliminate the leaks
1CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket

Check:

  • that there are no errors in the control unit
Carry out active diagnosis of flow modulating solenoid
Continue to Step 2An error is detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Solenoid not workingCheck the continuity of the wiring See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT and if necessary replace the solenoid Op. 1060G56
2CHECK ON FLOW MODULATING VALVE ACTUATORAll OKProblems metOperation
Check operation of pneumatic actuatorContinue to Step 3Actuator not workingReplace electropneumatically-controlled throttle body Op. 1060G52
3CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socketCheck as described in the test See Test 1060D Check high pressure fuel circuit that the diesel pressure parameter is correct.Continue to Step 14Pressure not correctContinue to Step 4
4INJECTOR HIGH PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check, as described in the test See Test 1060C Injector high pressure fuel circuit check , that diesel leaks from the injector recirculation connections are small and about the same as one another.Continue to Step 5Large leak from one injectorReplace the injector Op. 1060F10
Consistent fall in pressureReplace the pressure regulator Op. 1060E50
5CHECK ON RETURN LOW PRESSUREAll OKProblems metOperation
Check as described in the test See Test 1060A Low return fuel pressure circuit check that the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is under 1 barContinue to Step 6Pressure above maximum limit: return pipe to tank blockedRepair the pipe; if necessary replace it
6LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check as described in the test See Test 1060B Low fuel pressure supply circuit check that the diesel pressure between filter and pressure pump is between 2 and 3 barContinue to Step 12Pressure below minimum limit or above maximum limitContinue to Step 12
7LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Choke the return pipe below the valve and repeat the test See Test 1060B Low fuel pressure supply circuit check with the pipe choked, checking that the filter outlet pressure remains below 2 barContinue to Step 8Pressure rises to 5 bar: blocked pressure regulation valve on filter supportReplace the valve Op. 1044B16
8LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 barContinue to Step 9Difference in pressure greater than 1 barReplace the fuel filter cartridge Op. 1044B20
9LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is over 2.2 barContinue to Step 12Pressure below 2.2 barContinue to Step 10
10CHECK DELIVERY LOW PRESSUREAll OKProblems metOperation
Measure the difference in pressure between electric pump outlet and filter inlet and check that it is less than 0.3 barContinue to Step 11Difference in pressure greater than 0.3 barReplace the pipe
11LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
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 amp.Continue to Step 12Voltage < 12 VCheck electric wiring See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
Current > 10 Amp: pump defectiveReplace the fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70
Current < 2 Amp.: pump blockedReplace the fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70 and clean the fuel tank
12Continue as instructed by the testerAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the DRV high-pressure regulating valve and check that the fault is no longer present.End of diagnosisFault persists:Continue to Step 13
13CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persistsContact Technical Service for further information on the problem
14Continue as instructed by the testerAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the engine management control unit and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persistsContact Technical Service for further information on the problem
