TEST 6 High pressure system check
NOTESSpecial note:
Certain faults make it impossible to carry out this test - deal with these first.
WARNING
Running the starter motor for more than 5 seconds is dangerous and serves no
useful purpose.
Preliminary checks:
–Check for the presence of fuel
–Check that there is no air in the low pressure circuit. Run TEST 1 Low pressure circuit check.
–Ensure that the correct fuel is being used. Run test 13 Diesel fuel conformity check.
The pump's capacity to produce high pressure can be checked by the following procedure:
–With the ignition off, disconnect the low pressure actuator from the pump (IMV brown connector)
and connect a test IMV or the adapter of MOT. 1711.
–Electrically disconnect the four injectors.
–Switch on the ignition, connect the diagnostic tool and re-establish dialogue with the injection system.
–Go to the Main computer statuses and parameters screen.
–Run the test cold, PR064 "Coolant temperature" < 30
°C or equal to ambient temperature.
–Engage the starter for 5 seconds.
–Read the maximum rail pressure value PR038 Rail pressure during the test on the diagnostic tool.
