CONDITION
- MIL on.
- One or more of the following DTCs is stored in the engine control module, J623 (address word 01):
- P310B00: Low fuel pressure regulation fuel pressure outside specification
- P129F00: Low pressure fuel system pressure too high
- P008B00: Low pressure fuel system pressure too high
- P129E00: Low pressure fuel system pressure too low
- P008A00: Low pressure fuel system pressure too low
- P254000: Low pressure fuel system sensor circuit range/performance
- P008700: Fuel rail/system pressure too low
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Due to fuel intrusion into the low-pressure system fuel pressure sensor (G410), a false signal may be sent to the controller, resulting in a reading that is out of tolerance.
Tip: Comparing Measured Value Block 103 with 106 is not an accurate method for diagnosing G410. In order to diagnose G410 accurately, use a mechanical gauge and compare results with the low-side fuel pressure Actual Value in Measured Value Block 103.
PRODUCTION SOLUTION
Improvements to G410 fuel pressure sensor.
SERVICE
- Verify that the customer did not run out of fuel at the time that the DTCs were stored. If the vehicle did have a low fuel level, DTCs P310B00, P129E00 , and/or P008A00 may be accompanied by DTC P125000 . If DTC P125000 is present, it is likely that the faults occurred due to a low fuel level and are not related to a malfunction of the G410.
- Follow GFF for each DTC.
- To check the G410, measure the fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge (VAG 1318), using the following method:
- To calculate the adjusted gauge measurement value, add 1 bar to the value obtained from the mechanical gauge.
- Compare the adjusted gauge measurement value to the Actual Value stored in MVB 103 field 1.
- If the MVB 103 field 1 value deviates more than ±1.0 bar from the adjusted gauge measurement value, then the DTC was likely triggered by a faulty G410 low-side fuel pressure sensor. Document the adjusted gauge measurement value and MVB value on the Repair Order, then perform the Sensor replacement procedure below.
Sensor replacement procedure
- Replace the G410 low-side fuel pressure sensor (Figure 2).
- Clear DTCs and verify that the problem was eliminated.
- Run Basic Settings 103 to adapt system.
- Do not replace the high pressure fuel pump, electrical fuel pump, fuel pump control module or fuel filter unless problem persists and further diagnosis indicates a malfunction of any of these components.
