High Pressure Pump

Circuit Description

The fuel pump contains two barrel and plunger assemblies; each barrel and plunger
assembly utilizes an inlet and outlet check valve. Fuel at gear pump pressure is metered
through the fuel pump actuator and unseats one of the two inlet check valves as the fuel at
gear pump pressure enters the pumping chamber. As the pumping plunger begins its
upward motion, the pressure in the pumping chamber increases rapidly and the inlet check
valve is closed. As pressure reaches accumulator pressure, the outlet check valve is
opened. As the plunger travels upward, fuel exits past the outlet check valve and
pressurizes the fuel rail.

Component Location

The fuel pump is located on the backside of the gear housing. The barrel and plunger and
check valve assemblies are part of the fuel pump head sub-assembly.

Shop Talk

Fault Code 275 will most likely come active while operating at a steady state loaded
condition. At this condition commanded fuel pressures are highest and the pump's pressure

balance is affected the most.

If a high pressure seal has failed, pump head drain flow will be excessive. If a seal failure
has progressed far enough, the engine may not start because of an inability to develop fuel
rail pressure.

If the engine will not start, there are two indications that the pump head has failed:

z The drain flow will be excessive. This can be measured while cranking the engine
(refer to Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, ISC, QSC8.3, ISL, and QSL9 Series
Engines, Bulletin 4021418).
z The pumping plungers are broken or mechanically stuck. This can be checked by
visual inspection (refer to Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, ISC, QSC8.3, ISL, and
QSL9 Series Engines, Bulletin 4021418).

A faulty fuel pressure sensor signal due to a damaged fuel pressure sensor signal wire will
cause the fuel pressure sensor to be inconsistent. This condition can cause Fault Code 275
to become active on an intermittent basis.

to Component Connector and Pin


Inspection, Procedure 019-361.

Refer to the wiring diagram for connector


pin identification.

NOTE: A bad connection on the fuel


pressure sensor or intermittent wiring
connections can cause the signal
reading to fluctuate and cause this fault
code to become active on an intermittent
basis.
