Pressure Diagnosis HP 2.9 Common Rail Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis This means that a pressure fault may come from the Producer, The Regulator or the Consumers. Simply studying the physical perametres of the rail Pressure does not allow the disassosiation of producer and consumer. 2. Symptoms The engine will not or is difficult to start. The engine stalls while running. Lack of power and check lamp is on: the recovery mode may lead to engine stop. Hydraulic System Status Analysis. In order to fully understand the fault codes linked to pressure control, it is necassary to analyse the hydraulic system status Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 3. Hydraulic system status analysis Hydraulic flow balance is established as follows: Injected flow + Back leak flow (Flow consumed) = Capacity of the HP pump to supply the flow Requested for a given Diesel fuel temperature and pump inlet depression Consumption Pressure potential Pressure reserve necessary for Correct function of the system Backleak flow Injector flow Pressure demand Capacity of the pump to supply a f low at a given pressure Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis The hydraulic flow balance is upset if: -The injector backleak increases sharply, exceeding the pump capacity. This can happen when particles disturb the injector in ternal sealing, increasing the backleak flow from one or more injectors Examples: Heavy contamination of the fuel Wear and tear on the pump leads to the production of metallic particles that will seriously disturb injector function Mechanical wear in the injector. Increased back flow Pressure deficit 100 100 Backleak flow Pump capacity Injector flow 0 Consumption 0 Production Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis The capacity of the pump to supply the required pressure is reduced due to internal pump wear or a fuel feed problem Example. Presence of air in the low pressure circuit Excessive negative pressure at the pump inlet (<-300mBar) Mechanical wear in the pump Excessive pump inlet temperature (>65°C) Reduction in HP capacity 100 100 Pressure deficit Backleak flow Pump capacity Injected flow 0 Consumption 0 Production Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4. Diagnosis The following diagnosis flow chart summarises the variuos successive injection system checks for the isolation of faulty Components Logical order for diagnostic operations Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4. Tools The listed tools are required to carry out the following test procedures. HP pump return line blocking hose - Addittional battery power - Hi-Scan - Vacuum gauge - 2 meters clear plastic pipe Ø 4mm - 4x plastic with measuring scale (injector tester) - Delphi special tool - Eye protection Delphi SST `Closed Rail´ Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis The on vehicle system hydraulic status test: The system must be prepared for the test as follows: Disconnect the IMV elecrically by disconecting the BROWN connector on the high pressure pump, and disconnect the injector electrical connection so that they are no longer managed by the ECU. This will allow the maximum pressure to be reached.Turn the engine over on the starter for 5 seconds only: The five second period is critical, nothing is gained from exceeding this time limit, and it is dangerous to do so. Note: The cranking speed must exceed 200 RPM. The minmum pressure reached must be 1050 bar If the rail pressure is below 1050 bar Go to section 4-3 to 4-5 to isolate the faulty component/s At this stage the system capacity can be regarded as insufficient. If the rail pressure is above 1050 bars The root cause of the problem lies outside the capacity of the system to produce pressure Use the routine diagnostic documents Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4-3 Satic Injector Backleak Test The backleak flow volumes must be measured, if the engine will not Start, it is only possible t o measure the static flows (ie. Unmanaged closed injectors under high pressure). Disconnect and remove return line from injectors and pump Connect clear 4mm internal diameter plastic tubes to all the injector backleak ears, (the 4m m internal diameter is critical) Plug the pump venturi connection (to prevent airlocks in the low pressure circuit) Disconnect the Brown IMV electrical connector and the injector electrical connectors (An addition battery may be required) Do not exceed the 5 sceonds. The cranking speed should must be above 200RPM. Measure the quantity of diesel fuel obtained in 5 seconds in cm. Refer to the table in section 5. Repalce any injectors whose backleak exceeds the given value in the table. Empty the tubes, re-connect them and perform the test again with new injectors (5 Sec on the starter) Replace any injectors that exceed the value Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4-3 Satic Injector Backleak Test Plug the venturi connection (to prevent airlocks in the low pressure Disconnect the Brown IMV electrical connector Disconnect the injector electrical connector Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4-3 Satic Injector Backleak Test Measure the amount of leak fuel in (cm) Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4-4 Dynamic Injector Backleak Test In cases where the engine will run, the leak detection cycle allows the dynamic backleak flow to be checked (with engine running) from 230 to 1400 bars. Connect the containers or tubes to the injector backleak pipes Plug the pump venturi connection (to prevent airlocks in the low pressure system) Connect the Hi-Scan, (erase any DTC´s present) Run the engine at idle for two minutes and perform two consecutive leak detection cycl es. (note: Intercooler must be in place) Measure the volume of diesel fuel collected and refer to the table in section 5. Replace any injectors whose backleak volume exceeds the reference table. Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 4-5 Pump pressure generation capability This test is designed to check the pressure generagted by the pump onsuming elements of the system when isolated from the c SST: Plugged rail tool is required. Connect the plugged rail to the pump HP outlet and the rail pressure sensor connector to the plugged rail sensor. Plug the engine rail inlet, to protect against dirt. Disconnect the IMV electrical connector Connect the Hi-Scan, (erase any DTC´s present) Read the rail pressure while cranking the engine on the starter for five seconds only. Do not exceed the five second limit (An addition battery may be required) Note: The engine speed should be grater than 200RPM during the test. If the pressure reached during the test is less than 1050 bars, the HP pump musst be replaced. After test excess pressure must be released, using a 2.5 mm key screw allowing the fuel to drain into a container. slowly open the bleed Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis HP pipe Pressure sensor Rail discharge Delphi SST: Plugged Rail Tool Connected to vehicle wiring harness Tool in place Tool Troubleshooting Pressure Diagnosis 5.

Remove injectors 2. Remove high pressure pipe from pump to rail 3. Install SST `Closed Rail´ In this way the fuel curcuit is closed and the pump still has lubrication Note: Do not perform a compression test without the closed rail tool; risk of fuel leaking under pressure. Do not run interupt the fuel intake to prevent engine running or pressure production, risk of mechanical damage to the pump due to lack of lubrication
