Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check the Fuel Lines for Restrictions
A. If equipped, make sure that the fuel isolation valve is fully open.
B. Check all fuel lines between the fuel tank and the high-pressure fuel pump for restrictions or damage.
Restrictions
Result: The fuel isolation valve is not fully open.
Repair: Move the fuel isolation valve to the fully open position.
Use the electronic service tool to check that any event codes are no longer active.
Result: There is a restriction in a fuel line.
Repair: Clear the restriction or replace the fuel line.
Use the electronic service tool to check that any event codes are no longer active.
Result: The fuel isolation valve is fully open and there are no restrictions in the fuel lines.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check for Active Event Codes
A. Use the electronic service tool to check for event codes listed in Table 1.
Event codes
Result: Event code E1129-X is active.
Repair: Replace the primary fuel filter element. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for further information.
Result: Event code E390-X is active.
Replace the secondary fuel filter element. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for further information.
Result: Event code E198-1 is active.
