TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
5NOTE: If the ECM detects and stores a DTC, the ECM also stores the
engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of
these conditions are displayed on the DRB IIItat the same time the DTC is
displayed.
NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to
duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.
NOTE: Refer to the Service Information and perform the Air Bleed Proce-
dure before continuing diagnosis.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIIIt, erase the ECM DTCs.
Start and idle the engine while monitoring for ECM DTC's.
If the DTC does not reset at idle condition, test drive the vehicle under various load
and speed conditions to attempt to duplicate the fault.
NOTE: Driving the vehicle up and down steep hills or rapid cornering with
a low fuel level can cause this DTC to set. Verify with customer if Low Fuel
Light was illuminated when fault occurred.
With the DRBIIIt, read the ECM DTCs.

6 Start the engine.
With the DRBIIItin Sensors, compare the Fuel Pressure Setpoint with the Actual
Fuel Pressure readings.
NOTE: If there is air in the fuel system, the Actual Fuel Pressure will
oscillate above and below the Fuel Pressure Setpoint.
Does Actual Fuel Pressure oscillate above and below the Fuel Pressure Setpoint?All
Ye s!Refer to the Service Information to purge air from the fuel system.

With the DRBIIItin Sensors, compare the Fuel Pressure Setpoint with the Actual
Fuel Pressure readings.
NOTE: A sticking Fuel Pressure Solenoid is indicated by Actual Fuel
Pressure gradually dropping below the Fuel Pressure Setpoint then sud-
denly increasing (spiking) above the Fuel Pressure Setpoint.
