BLADE AS-WIPER 6V5849 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot a problem with high fuel pressure. Also, use this procedure if one of the following diagnostic code is active.
Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table
J1939 Code and Description Conditions which Generate this Code System Response
94-16
Engine Fuel Delivery Pressure : High - moderate severity (2) The fuel pressure is above the trip point pressure for the specified delay time. The code is logged. Probable Causes
Fuel pressure sensor
Fuel lines
Fuel transfer pump
Fuel return pressure regulatorRecommended Actions
Note: High fuel pressure may cause high fuel temperatures. Troubleshoot a code for high fuel pressure before troubleshooting a code for high fuel temperature.Note: The procedures have been listed in order of probability. Complete the procedures in the order of the listed test steps.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Active Codes and Logged Codes
A. Establish communication between Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
B. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for active or logged diagnostic codes. Specifically check for codes that could be associated to high fuel pressure.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for diagnostic codes to become active.
Codes
Result: A code is active or logged.
Repair: Troubleshoot any codes before continuing with this procedure.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
Result: A code is not active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check the Fuel Pressure Sensor
A. Record the fuel pressure from Cat ET.
Use a mechanical gauge to check the system fuel pressure. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel Pressure (Diesel System)" for additional information.
B. Record the fuel pressure on the pressure gauge.
Note: If a mechanical gauge is not available, determine if the fuel pressure reading on Cat ET is reasonable.
Fuel Pressure Sensor
Result: The gauge value of the fuel pressure is reasonable when compared to the fuel pressure reading shown in ET.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The gauge value of the fuel pressure is not reasonable when compared to the fuel pressure reading shown in Cat ET.
Repair: Replace the pressure sensor. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes by cycling the keyswitch to the Off position.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
3. Inspect the Fuel Supply Lines
A. Visually inspect the fuel lines. Also, inspect the fuel cooler, if equipped. Inspect the fuel return line from the head to the fuel tank. Inspect the lines for restrictions, pinching, and swelling.
Restrictions, Pinching, and Swelling
Result: The fuel lines and the cooler (if equipped) are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The fuel lines and the cooler (if equipped) are NOT OK.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes by cycling the keyswitch to the Off position.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
4. Replace the Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Result: The regulator was replaced. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes by cycling the keyswitch to the Off position.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
5. Inspect the Relief Valve for the Fuel Transfer Pump
The spring must move freely.
Relief Valve
Result: The relief valve is stuck closed.
Repair: Replace the fuel transfer
