C4.4 Generator Set Engines Caterpillar


E398 Low Fuel Rail Pressure

Usage:

C4.4 CF7
Conditions Which Generate This Code:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a fault with low fuel rail pressure. The ECM detects the following faults:

  • The ECM determines that the expected fuel rail pressure is lower than the pressure that is requested by the electronic control system.

  • Diagnostic code 0262-03 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage above normal is not active.

  • Diagnostic code 0262-04 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage below normal is not active.

  • Diagnostic code 1797-03 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor voltage above normal is not active.

  • Diagnostic code 1797-04 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor voltage below normal is not active.

  • No diagnostic codes are active for the fuel rail pump.

  • No diagnostic codes are active for the fuel injectors.

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

The warning light on the control panel will flash.

Possible Performance Effect:

E398-1

The engine will be derated until the keyswitch is turned to OFF.

Troubleshooting:

Test Step 1.

Low fuel pressure may be caused by the following faults. There can be a fault with the fuel return system. There can be a fault with the fuel pressure control. There can be a leak in the high pressure fuel system.

A failed relief valve, the fuel pump or an electronic unit injector may cause an event code to be logged.

The event code does not represent a fault with the electronic system. This event indicates low fuel rail pressure. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Inspect".

Results:

  • OK - STOP
