Technical product information
New Continental GT/GTC V8 Kovomo - Fuel Pressure Regulation

Transaction No.: 2061171/2

Customer statement / workshop findings
Check Engine Lamp illuminated within the Driver Instrument Panel (DIP) with one or multiple DTC’s as detailed below:
•

“ P310B00 Low Fuel Pressure Regulation”

•

“ P014800 Fuel Deliver Error”

•

“P019100 Fuel Rail pressure Sensor ‘A’ Circuit Range/Performance

•

“ Misfire ” DTC’s

There may be multiple DTC’s and symptoms present due to fuel pressure regulation or fuel supply issues

Technical background
In the event the customer complaint relates to the following:
•

Customer experienced poor start up - proceed with the remaining instructions

NOTE: The operative must gather information regarding the Customer experience regarding when the issue occurred for example: Preconditions, warning lights and driveability at time issue occurred, details when the vehicle was last refuelled and the grade of fuel used
The operative must now use the information contained within the “Measure” section to determine the correct analysis and repai r procedure.

Production change
Measure
1) If not already done, raise a DISS query.
2) Check “Low fuel pressure, specified value” and “Fuel low pressure, actual value” within the fault memory, refer to ECU “01 –
Engine Control Module 1” - From “ Extended ambient conditions” note the values of the “Low fuel pressure, specified value” and
“Fuel low pressure, actual value ” – Figure 1.

Figure 1
•

If not already done, raise a DISS query, add the following results / information.

Note the “Low fuel pressure, specified value” and “Fuel low pressure, actual value” on the DISS query.
•

Referencing the Measurement document attached, for each of the listed Electronic Control Units record the values listed, in addition,
record all available fuel pressure measurements, add the completed list to the DISS query.

•

Record when the vehicle was last refuelled and current fuel tank level.

•

Using ODIS Measured values check low fuel pressure when the vehicle is starting or idling – this should normally be 400 – 800 kPa.

•

Check the fuel system pressure at the fuel tank outlet with a pressure gauge, this should be the same as the figure measured with ODIS or
approximately 100 kPa lower if the gauge is relative to atmospheric pressure.

•

After switching the engine off the pressure within the fuel system should remain at 400 kPa or above for at least ten minutes.

•

Check the fuel pump ECU electrical earth point condition, check for debris, cleanliness and tightness of earth point nut. Record results on
the DISS query, attach clear photograph(s).

•

Check all fuel pump ECU connector pins for signs of contamination or damage. Check for any other concern that may lead to poor
retention, high resistance or poor connection. Ensure issues noted during this inspection are corrected, reconnect all removed connectors.

•

Clear any fault codes that may be present and conduct a short road test, make a note of any fault codes that are logged during the road
test

•

Should any issues be evident from any previous technical checks/inspection or for example:

DTC’s logged during the road test
The issue can be reproduced
Repeat visit for the same issue
Fuel level shown in the DIP does match the actual amount of fuel which is in the tank (as applicable MWB’s)
•

The Operative MUST add any relevant information to the DISS query

Or
•

Should no issues be evident, the car can be returned to the customer – Refer to the Customer information section of this TPI

Customer information
This is a known Fuel Pump control module problem which can, in exceptionally rare circumstances lead to momentary pause of fuel supply on
vehicle start up resulting in the engine not running smoothly or stalling. The exact timing between vehicle unlocking and switching the ignition on
can lead to the symptoms exhibited. Based on all evidence, and the Retailer verifying the fuel system is to specification and ensuing the electrical
systems integrity is secure and functional. There is no mechanical detriment to the vehicle
The risk of a repeat failure is exceptionally low, a long term Fuel pump control module hardware change is currently under investigation.
In the highly unlikely scenario of a repeat fault, leave the car locked for 20 minutes, the vehicle should now operate to specification
