Proactive Alert Engine Controls & Fuel Service Message Identifier ECF003
1.

Turn OFF the ignition.
Notice: If the engine coolant temperature is above 140°F (60°C), high fuel pressure readings may result due to hot soak fuel boiling. With
the engine OFF, the fuel pressure may increase beyond the pressure relief regulator valve's setting point of 100 psi (690 kPa) ± 5 percent.

2.

Install the CH-37287-1A Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter and the CH-48027 Digital Fuel Pressure Gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and
Removal in SI.

3.

Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

4.

Command the Fuel Pump Enable ON several times, in order to obtain the highest possible fuel pressure.

5.

Verify that the CH-48027 fuel pressure is within the specified range with the fuel pump running.

6.

If the CH-48027 fuel pressure is within the specified range, Go to Step 6.

If the CH-48027 fuel pressure is not within the specified range, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis in SI.

Verify that the CH-48027 fuel pressure and the Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter agree or are within a range of +/− 5 psi (34 kPa).

If the CH-48027 fuel pressure and the Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter are not within the specified range, perform the following:

6.1. Inspect the fuel system pipes and hoses for damage, such as kinks or pinches.
6.2. Test the wiring, terminals and connectors of the Body Harness to Fuel Tank Harness (on the Corvette the Rear Chassis Harness to Fuel Tank
Primary Harness), the B47 Fuel Pressure Sensor and the K111 Fuel Pump Driver Control Module and the ground circuit that it uses for good
continuity and intermittent conditions and poor connections. Refer to Testing for Continuity, Testing for Electrical Intermittents and Testing for
Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Ground Distribution Schematics in SI.

7.

If any fuel system pipes or hoses exhibit damage, repair as necessary.

If poor continuity or intermittent conditions and poor connections are found, repair as necessary. Refer to Wiring Repairs, Repairing Connector
Terminals and Connector Repairs in SI.

If fuel system pipe or hose damage is not observed and poor continuity and intermittent conditions and poor connections are not found, replace the
B47 Fuel Pressure Sensor. Refer to Fuel Pressure Sensor Replacement in SI.

No other action is required as the Service Message will automatically clear once the fuel system is serviced properly and the vehicle is operated over a
number of ignition cycles. Other on board DTCs may have set.
Use the scan tool to clear ALL DTCs prior to releasing the vehicle to the Customer.
