6. DIAGNOSIS CHECK SHEET

1. GENERAL
This Tester has been developed to diagnose efficiently and accurately for diesel vehicles with
common rail system.
1-1. Criteria of diagnosis using Commom Rail Tester
Impossible to start engine or engine stall while driving
It would be recommended performing Power Balance Test by Hi-Scan (for Bosch system) or
by disconnecting injector's connecter one by one (for Delphi system),
if vehicle has problem beside the above symptoms such as engine vibration or
emission of black/white smoke while engine idle.
The problem may be due to differences of the injected amount in each injector.
1-2. Notice
A CRDi system has been constructed using precision-made components.
If an extremely small foreign particle enters the system during service, it may cause sticking or
clogging of injectors.
Therefore, be sure to eliminate any dust or contaminated deposits on or around the engine and
fuel lines during service.

4-5. HIGH PRESSURE PUMP TEST
1) Clean the regulator valve (CRT-1020), regulator valve adaptor (CRT-1023) and plugs (CRT-1021
or CRT-1022) with diesel fuel.
2) Remove all 4 fuel injector pipes from the common rail and disconnect the rail pressure
sensor's connector.
3) Install the regulator valve (CRT-1020), plugs (CRT-1021 or CRT-1022), dust caps (CRT-1035),
adapter connector (CRT-1041, CRT-1042,CRT-1043) and High pressure gauge (CRT-1040)

Purpose of the test : Inspection for mechanical capability of the High
pressure pump (Maximum pressure check)
Method : Check the pumping capability of the high pressure pump by
actuating pump after blocking rail's outlets using the plug and
regulator.
Plug : Blocking the rail circuit
Regulator Valve : Preventing over pressure of high pressure line

5) Crank the engine for 5-6 seconds.
For the accuracy of the test, perform the test twice and select the higher pressure one
as a measured value.
6) Judgement
If the fuel pressure indicated on the gauge is within the range of specification,
the high pressure pump is normal.
But if not, check the below items before the High pressure pump replaced.
a. Check the plug or regulator valve if it leaks.
b. If fuel pressure is lower than specification, test it again when coolant temperature is
below 30.
The pump is in normal condition if the pressure restores to normal range.
c. In case of the system in which pressure control valve implemented,
check the valve condition & internal leak and replace them if necessary.
* Refer to '4-6 pressure control valve test' procedure
Specification of high pressure of common rail :
BOSCH System : 1000~1500 bars
DELPHI System : 1050~1600 bars
If fuel pressure indicated on the gauge is lower than specification there may be a problem in
the rail pressure sensor or its circuit even fuel flows out from the regulator valve (CRT-1020).

4. DIAGNOSIS
4-6. PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE TEST
1) Remove fuel return connector from PCV upper.
2) Remove fuel return hose from PCV lower.
3) Disconnect Pressure Control Valve connector and connect
the pressure control valve cable (CRT-1044) to the
Pressure Control Valve, and then connect the pressure
control valve cable (CRT-1044)'s lead to battery so that
pressure control valve will block fuel return from rail.
4) Put fuel return pipes to flasks(CRT-1030).
5) Crank the engine for 5 seconds.
6) Check fuel return amount.

5. FUEL LINE FLUSHING

1) Before connecting the fuel pipes to the engine, be sure
Fuel pipe
Air gun nozzle
that all the pipe outlet surfaces, inner passages, and especially fuel pipe
fitting nuts are clean.
Clean using air gun if necessary.
2) Assemble all fuel pipes except the fuel pipe fitting nuts of injector side.
3) Temporarily tighten the fuel pipe fitting nuts to injectors by hand after
aligning the nuts to the injectors.
4) To prevent contamination on engine room, wrap up around the injector pipe
Cleaning by air gun
using paper towel or shop rag as shown.
5) Crank the engine 2 to 3 times for 5 to 6 seconds to flow out the fuel contamination
from injector connection area.
6) Tighten the nuts with specified torque using special tool.
7) Erase the DTC code by Hi-Scan.
