Observe all safety precautions: => [ Safety Precautions ] Generic Scan Tool

View clean working conditions: => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions

Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.

For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• multimeter

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) OK.

• The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) fuses OK.

• The fuel filter OK.

• The battery voltage at least 12.5 V.

• All electrical consumers switched off (radiator fan must NOT run during test).

• A/C switched off.

• The fuel tank at least 1/4 filled.

• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check

Start diagnosis

- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service information.





Checking voltage

- Disconnect the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) electrical harness connector.

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter, check the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) electrical harness connector terminals for voltage.






- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:

- Replace the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247). Refer to appropriate service information.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring connections

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.

- Using a multimeter, check the Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminals for an open circuit according to the wiring diagram.






Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.

- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service information.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 0A.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 0A.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
