Probable Causes
• Diagnostic codes
• Electrical connectors
• Fuel filters
• Fuel rail pressure sensor
• High fuel rail pressure
• Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR)
• Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR) return
• Return fuel lines
• Low fuel rail pressure
• Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR)
• Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR) Return
• Electric Fuel Lift Pump (EFLP)
• Return fuel lines
Recommended Actions
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel
spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow
these inspection, maintenance and service in-
structions may cause personal injury or death.
