5.2.1 Checking fuel pressure sender - G247-, using pressure sensor tester - VAS 6394- and vehicle diagnostic tester
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester

- Pressure sensor tester - VAS 6394-
- Test instrument adapter/DSO (3-pin) - VAS 5570-
- Socket 27 mm long, commercially available
Procedure
- Remove fuel pressure sender - G247- ⇒ 5.1 Removing and installing fuel pressure sender G247 .

- Lubricate taper seal of adapter -VAS 6394/3- with clean engine oil and screw into fuel rail (22 Nm).

- Unscrew plug -2- and screw fuel pressure sender - G247- into tester -VAS 6394/1-.
- Connect pressure line -1- of tester to adapter - VAS 6394/3-.

- Connect vehicle and fuel pressure sender - G247- electrically using test instrument adapter/DSO (3-pin) - VAS 5570-.

- Switch on tester -VAS 6394/1- by pressing button -A- once briefly.
- Connect ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
- Start engine and run it at idling speed.
- Select 0001 - Read measured values in self-diagnosis.
- Select Fuel pressure from the list.
- Compare pressure displayed on tester -VAS 6394/1- with actual value displayed on ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
- Watch the fuel pressure on the vehicle diagnostic tester.
- A maximum pressure deviation of 5 bar is permissible.
- If the deviation is greater than 5 bar, renew fuel pressure sender - G247-.
- Repeat test with new fuel pressure sender - G247- and compare both measured values.
- If measured values are now the same, install new fuel pressure sender - G247-.
- If measured values are not the same again, check electrical connection between fuel pressure sender - G247- and engine control unit - J623- ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
