DIESEL PCM, FUEL SOLENOID, WATER IN FUEL
Circuit Description
The injection pump fuel supply line has a solenoid controlled shutoff located in the injection pump. When the solenoid is energized (key in the run position), the valve is open and fuel is supplied to the injection pump. By providing a ground path, the PCM energizes the solenoid. This is a type D DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | PCM requested ESO ON. |
| • | Control circuit voltage at the PCM is greater than 8 volts. |
| • | Conditions met for 2 seconds. |
or
| • | PCM requested ESO OFF. |
| • | Control circuit voltage at the PCM is less than 8 volts. |
| • | Conditions met for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P0215 will not turn ON the MIL.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A History DTC will clear when forty consecutive warm-up cycles that the diagnostic does not fail (coolant temperature has risen 5°C (40°F) from start up coolant temperature and engine coolant temperature exceeds 71°C (160°F) that same ignition cycle. |
| • | Use of a Scan tool |
Diagnostic Aids
An open in the control circuit or the ignition feed circuit will cause a P0215. Also a no start condition will exist. The Scan Tool has the ability to turn the engine shutoff solenoid ON and OFF. This can be used as a quick operational check.
