Testing conditions
1. Batteries are in good conditions and fully charged.
2. There is no fault code displayed on the VCADS Pro.
Pressure checking procedures
1. Place the machine in service position B, see Service positions.
2. Turn off the electric power with the battery disconnect switch.
3. Connect the VCAD Pro computer to the machine through the service socket (1).
Start the VCADS Pro engine test, 23017-3 fuel supply pressure check.

Engine starting condition
NOTE!
This test is used only if there are the engine starting problems.
4. Remove the injector cover (1) from the engine, disconnect all cables (2) for the injectors.
NOTE!
Isolate the disconnected cables.

5. Crank the engine with the starter motor for 15 to 20 seconds, check if the fuel rail pressure values are according to the
specifications. See Fuel pressure, specifications.
NOTE!
Engine crank speed: 150 ±30 rpm
In case the engine crank speed is not normal
Check the battery, cables, starter motor and engine load.
In case the fuel feed pressure is not normal
Check the fuel filter and the fuel feed pump.
In case the rail pressure is not normal
Check the fuel control unit, the high pressure pump and the rail pressure relief valve.
NOTE!
If there are very abnormal results, check the fuel rail pressure sensor and the E-ECU.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Save the job card, and connect the injector cables.
Engine running, without load condition
8. Start the VCADS Pro engine test, 23017-3 fuel supply pressure check.
9. Start the engine.
10. Put the control lockout lever in the unlocked (up) position.
Check if the fuel rail pressure values are according to the specifications when there is a load below 28%. See Fuel
pressure, specifications.
NOTE!
Check the engine load at I-ECU service mode.
NOTE!
Check the pressure values at the different positions of the engine speed control switch, see Fuel pressure, specifications.
In case the charge air pressure is too low
Check the air intake system.
In case the engine load is too high
Check the hydraulic system load and the engine conditions.
In case the fuel feed pressure is too low
Check the fuel filter and the fuel feed pump.
In case the rail pressure is too low
Check the fuel control unit, the high pressure pump and the rail pressure relief valve.
In case the rail pressure is too high
Check the Injectors.
NOTE!
If there are very abnormal results, check the fuel rail pressure sensor and the E-ECU.
11. Stop the engine.
12. Save the job card.
Engine running, with load condition
13. Start the VCADS Pro engine test, 23017-3 fuel supply pressure check.
14. Start the engine.
15. Check if the fuel rail pressure values are according to the specifications when there is a load above 60%. See Fuel
pressure, specifications.
NOTE!
Check the engine load at I-ECU service mode.
NOTE!
Engine speed: 1900 rpm
NOTE!
Create the hydraulic load by moving the dipper arm and the bucket to their full stroke.
In case the charge air pressure is too low
Check the air intake system.
In case the engine load is too high
Check the hydraulic system load and the engine conditions.
In case the fuel feed pressure is too low
Check the fuel filter and the fuel feed pump.
In case the rail pressure is too low
Check the fuel control unit, the high pressure pump and the rail pressure relief valve.
In case the rail pressure is too high
Check the hydraulic system load.
NOTE!
If there are very abnormal results, check the fuel rail pressure sensor and the E-ECU.
16. Stop the engine.
17. Save the job card, and disconnect the VCADS Pro cable.
18. Restore the machine to operating condition.
