various operating conditions?
Ye s>>
Go To 2
No>>
Check the electrical connector of the Fuel Control Actuator, if the connection is tight, replace the fuel
control actuator.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 (DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROL MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
2.FUEL PUMP
Turn the ignition on.
