-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor - G410- electrical harness connector for voltage.

Low Fuel Pressure Sensor - G410- electrical harness connector terminals Specified value
1 to Battery Voltage Battery voltage
2 to Ground (GND) Near 0 volts
3 to Ground (GND) 5 V

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified values were obtained:

-- Replace the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor - G410 -. Refer to appropriate service information.

-- Go to Final procedures

If the specified values were Not obtained:

Checking wiring 

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) - J623 -. Refer to appropriate service information.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Low Fuel Pressure Sensor - G410- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) - J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminals for an open circuit according to the wiring diagram.

Low Fuel Pressure Sensor - G410- electrical harness connector terminals Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) - J623- electrical connector T60 terminals or test box socket
1 GND
2 40
3 29

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open, high resistance, short to Battery voltage or Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

-- Go to Final procedures

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) - J623 -. Refer to appropriate service information.

Final procedures 

-- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service information.

-- After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
