–	Start engine and run at idling speed.

–	Select “Engine electronics” in the self-diagnosis program.

–	Then, select “Measured values”.

–	Select “Fuel pressure” from the list.

–	Compare pressure displayed on tester -VAS 6394/1- with actual value displayed on vehicle diagnostic tester.

–	Watch the fuel pressure on the vehicle diagnostic tester.

A maximum pressure deviation of 5 bar is permissible.

–	If the deviation is greater than 5 bar, renew fuel pressure sender - G247-.

–	Repeat test with new fuel pressure sender - G247- and compare both measured values.

–	If measured values are now the same, install new fuel pressure sender - G247-.

–	If measured values are not the same again, check electrical connection between fuel pressure sender - G247- and engine control unit -J623- → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
