⇒ 5.2.1 Checking fuel pressure sender G247, using pressure sensor tester VAS 6394 and vehicle diagnostic tester

⇒ 5.2.2 Checking fuel pressure sender G247, using vehicle diagnostic tester

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

  • 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.
