In the event of rail overpressure:
Check that there are no air bubbles in the diesel fuel low pressure circuit.
Check that the rail pressure sensor is working, and then interpret parameter PR038 Rail pressure.
If these checks do not reveal any faults, replace the pump regulator.
in the event of rail underpressure:
Check the correct operation of the rail pressure sensor, as well as the interpretation of parameter PR038.
Check the low pressure diesel circuit priming.
Check the conformity of the diesel filter connections.
Check the condition of the filter (clogging and water saturation).
Check that there are no air bubbles between the filter and the high pressure pump.
Check the sealing of the low and high pressure diesel fuel systems: use ALP6 Fuel circuit leaks (visual
inspections, touch tests, odours, etc.) on:
pump body, pressure release valve, pipes, rail and injectors unions, injector wells, etc.
Check the conformity of the seal fitting on the pressure regulator.
Check the operation of the injectors: run Test 10 Poor injector operation in this document.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
If the engine starts:
Clear any faults.
Check the pump pressure regulator by applying (see ALP 7 Rough idle).
With the engine warm, leave it to idle for a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes):
– If it stalls and the fault reappears, replace the pump regulator.
– If the engine does not stall, stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm (1 minute) then depress the accelerator
pedal fully until the maximum engine speed imposed by the computer is obtained (~5500 rpm). The maximum
rotation speed of the engine must be stabilised in the time taken to fully depress and then fully release the pedal.
This test is carried out with no load (engine in neutral).
– If the engine stalls, contact the Techline
If the engine does not start or does not stall, first replace the pump regulator.
If the fault is still present, contact the techline.

– accelerate slightly.
If the loss of power was not noted during slight acceleration and if there was a loss of engine power during each
acceleration at full load, replace the diesel fuel injector return rail and its overpressure valve (see MR364

NOTESBefore analysing this customer complaint, check that there are no faults, and the
conformity (or otherwise) of the parameters and statuses, using the diagnostic tool.
If the customer complaint is not eliminated, perform the following checks.
IMPORTANT:
Please observe the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice.
Procedure for checking for an external leak on the fuel circuit:
Clean away traces of grease with clean thinner and wipe the part or parts concerned with cleaning cloths.
Start the engine and increase the engine temperature until the diesel fuel reaches 40/50°C.
Stop the engine and check for traces of grease on the part or parts concerned.
If this is the case, replace the part or parts concerned.
Does the priming bulb show traces of grease?
(Visual and tactile inspections)
Check the assembly of the components and
the condition of the seal at the union of the two
components, if the leak is at the seal.
Replace the part or the parts concerned.
Bleed the fuel circuit and continue the checks.
Check the counter pressure valve located on
the fuel return line, after the injectors. Does the diesel filter show traces of grease?
(Visual and tactile inspections)
Do the fuel return pipes show traces of grease?

TEST3 Low pressure circuit check
Check the fuel filter:
– Conformity of the fuel filter (correct part number and RENAULT filter).
– Positioning and degree of clogging of the filter cartridge.
– Positioning and condition of the seals.
– If there is metal swarf in the filter:
Replace the fuel filter, bleed the circuit and continue the fault finding procedure.
Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely
with an additional tank.
Mode:
– Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and block it with a plug.
– Connect a pipe to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end in a clean container with a capacity of approximately
5 litres.
– Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the diesel temperature sensor (pump return and injector return join), and
block it using a plug.
– Connect a transparent pipe to the union of the diesel fuel temperature sensor, and insert the other end in the
container.
– Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
– Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?If the low pressure circuit is in order, reconnect the
various low pressure circuit pipes, and repeat the
fault finding chart procedure or the procedure for
the fault that referred you to this test.
Are the low pressure circuit connections in order
and in good condition?Carry out the necessary repairs.
