Title : SPN 3055 FMI 1 No start due to low rail fuel pressure Troubleshooting
Applies To : EPA 2010 MaxxForce 11 / 13 and N13
CHANGE LOG
If this iKNow Article is being revised, please type in the text box what has changed in the article. The change
log is meant for Dealers to be able to see what has updated/changed in the article.
4/3/14 Added specific SRT codes for each model with this engine.
4/10/2014 - Added a NOTE under 'Fault Overview', changed Drive Cycle under 'Drive Cycle to Determine Fault Status' to Drive
Cycle 1, added 'Fuel Filter Replacement' under 'Possible Causes'.
SPN 3055 FMI 1 - Low Fuel Pressure at Start
Condition / Description
Setting Criteria Enable Conditions / Values
Time
Required
Fuel Rail Pressure below
minimum pressure.
FRP less than
1,450 psi
0.5 seconds
Engine Speed > 70 rpm
Ambient Pressure > 12 psi (83 kPa)
(10,000 kpa)
Ambient Temp > 19 F (-7.04 C) Battery
Voltage (before crank) >
11 Volts
Fault Overview
Fault code sets when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) does not build within
a predetermined time while the engine is cranking.
NOTE: If the fuel filter was replaced right before the 3055/1 fault set, this is common and does NOT require
diagnostics. Clear the fault and run the engine to purge air from the system. Then shut off and restart the unit to
verify that code does not return. If the fault does not return, no further repair is needed.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Reaction
MIL will illuminate when this fault is detected (one trip MIL).
