1Check using ExaminerAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Connect to the engine management control unit and check that there are no errors.Move on to Step 3.1.Engine management control unit power supply incorrect2.Main relay defective.1.Restore control unit power supply.2.Replace main relay.
2Engine management control unit power supply checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the engine control unit is receiving the correct power supplyCheck that the main relay is working correctly.    See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Move on to Step 3.1.Engine management control unit power supply incorrect.2.Main relay defective.1.Restore control unit power supply.2.Replace main relay.
3Injector seal checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1060OC INJECTOR SEAL TESTthat the diesel leaks from the injector recirculation connections are small (seepage) and roughly equal to one another.Move on to Step 4.Significant leak from one injector.Replace the injector.    Op. 1060F10 FUEL INJECTORS - R.R.
4High pressure checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1060OD HIGH PRESSURE FUEL CIRCUIT CHECKthat the diesel high pressure parameter is correct.Move on to Step 10.Pressure not correct.Move on to Step 5.
5Low return pressure checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1060OA LOW FUEL RETURN PRESSURE CIRCUIT CHECKthat the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is less than 1 barMove on to Step 6.Pressure above the maximum limit: return pipe to the tank obstructed.Repair the pipe, if necessary, replace it.
6Low supply pressure checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check, as described in Test_1060OB, that the diesel pressure between the filter and the pressure pump is between 3.5 and 5 barMove on to Step 7.Pressure below the minimum limit or above the maximum limit.Move on to Step 10.
7Low supply pressure checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 bar by carrying out Test_1060OFMove on to Step 8.Difference in pressure more than 1 bar.Replace the fuel filter cartridge.    Op. 1044B10 FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY - R + R OR REPLACE
8Low supply pressure checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Measure the difference in pressure between the electric pump outlet and the filter inlet and check that it is less than 0.3 bar.Move on to Step 9.Pressure above 0.3 bar.Replace the pipe.
9Electric pump supply checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1040AA CHECK ON SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND CURRENT UPTAKEthat the pump supply voltage is equal to 12V and that the current uptake is between 2 and 10 A.Move on to Step 10.1. Voltage lower than 12 V2. Current greater than 10 A: pump defective3. Current less than 2 A: pump obstructed1. Renew electrical wiring.    See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT 2. Replace the fuel pump.    Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GAUGE CONTROL - R + R 3. Replace the fuel pump.    Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GAUGE CONTROL - R + R and clean the fuel tank.
10Correct operation checkAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Replace the engine management control unit    Op. 1060G80 DIESEL ELECTRONIC INJECTION CONTROL UNIT - R.R and check that the fault is no longer present.End of diagnosis.The fault persists.Contact the Service Department for further information on the problem.
