Low Fuel Pressure Sensor, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) OK.

• The Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) fuses OK.

• The fuel filter OK.

• The battery voltage at least 12.5 V.

• All electrical consumers switched off.

• A/C switched off.

• The fuel tank at least 1/4 filled.

• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) electrical harness connector - 1 -.





Checking voltage

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) electrical harness connector for voltage.










- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified values are obtained:

- Replace the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410).

If the specified values are not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service manual.

- Using a multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410) electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.










Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

If the DTC returns and no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
