SERVICE INSTRUCTION:
1. ,~
NOTE: Direction arrow indicates the front
of the engine.

The illustration shows the high pressure fuel pumps
and their possible alternate designation.
•

Pump 1: Lelt or rear
Pump 2: Right or front

E17 1608

The following diagnostic routine will aid in the diagnosis of which of the high pressure fuel pumps is
noisy.

2. ,~
NOTE: Carry out the diagnostic routine on a cold engine (less than 35°C) at idle speed with the
bonnet open.
Carry out the following diagnostic routine, listening for the suspected fuel pump noise. As the fuel pumps are
deactivated in turn it should be possible to diagnose which pump is noisy as the metallic 'clicking'/ 'rasping'
noise will stop when that fuel pump is no longer running. Only replace a noisy pump; if no difference can be
determined from either pump during the diagnostic routine, further diagnostics would be required into the
source of the noise. In the unlikely event that both pumps are suspected to be noisy, contact Technical
Helpline for further advice.

&
,CAUTION: A Jaguar Land Rover-approved Midtronics battery power supply must be connected to the
vehicle battery during SDD diagnosis/ module programming.

,&.,CAUTION: Ensure all ignition 'ON' / ignition 'OFF' requests are carried out; failure to perform these

NOTE: SDD must be loaded with DVD139.06 v.189 or later.

3. Connect the Jaguar Land Rover-approved Midtronics battery power supply to the vehicle battery.
4. Connect SDD to the vehicle and begin a new diagnostic session, by reading the vehicle identification number
(VIN) for the current vehicle and initiating the data collect sequence.
5. Follow the SDD prompts.

/ \NOTE: The primary function of the following SDD routine is to assist in diagnosing pump
performance. In this bulletin the test is being utilized for an audible fault. The test will conclude with a
pass or fail. if the test concludes with a pass, this does not indicate the pump is not causing an audible
fault.

6. Turn ignition 'ON' (engine not running).
7. Connect the Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) system to the vehicle and begin a new session.
8. Follow the on-screen prompts, allowing SDD to read the VIN and identify the vehicle and initiating the data
collect sequence.
9. Select 'Diagnosis' from the Session Type screen.
10. Select the 'Selected Symptoms' tab, and then select:
•

Powertrain > Engine system > Engine performance

11. Select 'continue'.
12. Select the 'Recommendations' tab, and then select 'Run' to perform the 'Powertrain - High pressure fuel
pump test' option.
•

When the SDD application is running the high pressure fuel pumps will be sequenced as follows.
1. High pressure fuel pump 2 - disabled (SDD will display the following: High pressure fuel pump 1 PCM - Switch off).
2. Both high pressure fuel pumps - enabled.
3. High pressure fuel pump 1 - disabled (SDD will display the following: High pressure fuel pump 2 PCM - Switch off).
4. Both high pressure fuel pumps - enabled.

•

If error message of '36' or '37' appears, run the following procedure and repeat the high pressure fuel
pump test.

13. Select the 'Recommendations' tab, and then select 'Run' to perform the 'Powertrain - High pressure fuel
pump test' option.

14. Select the 'Service Functions' Session Type screen.
•

select 'Run' to perform the 'Powertrain - Powertrain control module unlock application'.
