Original Publication

20 15 02 April 10, 2015 2031426 Supersedes T.B. V201501 dated March 2, 2015 to update test plan and add
model year 2015 applicability.
High Pressure Fuel Pump Diagnosis
Engine Crank, No Start after Long Periods without Driving. Engine may run rough, and or MIL-ON with DTC
P0087-low fuel pressure stored in ECM Fault Memory.

Technical Background
Completing the GFF high pressure pump function test is essential to diagnose proper pump operation and to avoid
unnecessary replacements.

Production Solution
N/A.

Service
The high pressure pump requires a sufficient supply of fuel pressure in order to operate properly.
• Check for sufficient pressure at the low pressure pump as described in the repair manual, located under the
headings: Engine -> Engine Mechanical, Fuel Injection and Ignition -> Fuel Supply System -> Diagnosis and
Testing -> Fuel Pump, Checking -> Fuel Pressure, Checking.
Is low pressure fuel pump within specifications?
YES: Continue to high pressure fuel pump test. (Guided fault finding provides a function test for the high pressure
fuel pump. This test must be performed in order to properly diagnose the high pressure fuel pump.)
NO: Replace low pressure fuel pump and continue.

Note:
A completed high pressure fuel pump function test is required for reimbursement.

Technical Bulletin
Following completion of the function test:
If the actual fuel rail pressure is within ± 1 bar of specified fuel rail pressure [40 bar at idle (580 psi)], DO NOT
replace the high pressure fuel pump. Continue to further diagnose the fuel system, this bulletin does not apply.
• With the engine running, check measure value blocks 106, 140 and 141 to confirm fuel rail pressure reads a
minimum of 40 bar (580 psi).
The engine should be switched OFF and the key switched ON to perform the following procedure:
ODIS:
• Enter Diagnosis
• Select “Test Plan”
• Click “Select self test” button
• Locate the test plan for the “N276 – Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve,” and attach the test to the test plan list
(Figure 1a and Figure 1b).

Technical Bulletin
• When the test starts to check the operation of the N276 pressure regulator, listen for an audible “click” sound
coming from the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Once test in complete, answer the question provided (Figure 4).

Figure 4

Tip:
The audible “click” sound may be better heard with hood open and the engine cover removed.
• If “click” noise is heard, DO NOT replace the high pressure fuel pump, this bulletin will not apply. Continue to
further diagnose the fuel system.
• If “click” noise is not heard, and fuel rail pressure is below 10 bar, replace the high pressure fuel pump.
• Following completion of the test procedure, the vehicle should be driven with higher RPM’s (3000 – 5500) to
confirm the fault does not return.
