PUMP GP-BFT-YM 2564756 - Caterpillar

Note: If the fault is intermittent and the fault cannot be duplicated, refer to Troubleshooting, "Power Is Intermittently Low or Power Cutout Is Intermittent".Note: If the fault only occurs under certain conditions, test the engine under those conditions. Examples of certain conditions are high rpm, full load, and engine operating temperature. Troubleshooting the symptoms under other conditions can give misleading results.Probable Causes
Diagnostic codes
Air Intake and Exhaust System
Fuel System Inspection
Throttle Position Sensor/Throttle Switches
High-pressure fuel pump
Low compression (cylinder pressure)
Electronic unit injectors
Individual malfunctioning cylinderRecommended Actions
Note: The procedures have been listed in order of probability. Complete the procedures in order.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Diagnostic Codes
A. Establish communication between the electronic service tool and the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
Diagnostic codes
Result: There are active codes.
Repair: Troubleshoot any active codes before continuing with this procedure.
Result: There are no active codes.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Air Intake and Exhaust System
A. Check the air filter restriction indicator.
B. Ensure that the air filter is clean and serviceable
C. Check the air intake and exhaust systems for the following defects:
Blockages
Restrictions
Damage to lines or hoses
Fuel System
Result: A defect was found in the air intake or exhaust system.
Repair: Make any necessary repairs.
Result: No defects found in the air intake or exhaust systems.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Fuel System Inspection
A. Check that the fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.
B. If the temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax).
C. Check for fuel supply lines that are restricted.
D. Check that the low-pressure fuel lines are correctly installed.
E. Check the pressures in the fuel system. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Fuel System Pressure - Test"
F. Check the diesel fuel for contamination. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Fuel Quality - Test".
G. Check for air in the fuel system. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test".
H. Ensure that the fuel system has been primed. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime".
Fuel supply
Result: A defect was found in the fuel system.
Repair: Make any necessary repairs.
Result: No defects found.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Throttle Position Sensor/Throttle Switches (if equipped)
A. Turn the start switch to the ON position.
B. Run the engine until the speed is equal to the maximum no-load speed.
C. Use the electronic service tool to make sure that the throttle is set to reach the maximum no-load speed.
Electrical connections
Result: The throttle response is not as expected.
Repair: If the maximum no-load speed cannot be obtained refer to Troubleshooting, "Switch Circuits - Test (Throttle Switch)" and Troubleshooting, "Mode Selection - Test".
If the engine speed is erratic refer to Troubleshooting, "Speed Control - Test".
Result: All responses are normal.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. High-Pressure Fuel Pump
Note: The fuel injection pump that is installed by the factory is a nonserviceable item. If any fault occurs within the fuel injection pump, the fuel injection pump must be replaced.
