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

Service
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.

Note:
A completed high pressure fuel pump function test is required for reimbursement.
Following completion of the function test:
If the fuel rail pressure is within ± 1 of 40 bar (480 psi.), DO NOT replace the high pressure fuel pump. Continue to
further diagnose the fuel system.
• With the engine running, check measure value blocks 106, 140 and 141 to confirm fuel rail pressure reads a
minimum of 40 bar (480 psi).

further diagnose the fuel system.
• If “click” noise is not heard, 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.
