OBD and Fuel Supply

Pierburg | Motorservice

What is the cause for diagnostic trouble codes P0005, P0006, P0007, P0087, P0172, P0441, P0462 and P0463? They can be identified with an on-board diagnostic system (OBD) and indicate a fault within the fuel supply of a vehicle. You can find out the causes of these faults and the possible remedies here.

FINDING AND REMEDYING FAULTS

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE
P0005/P0006/P0007 P0087 P0172
DISPLAYED FAULTS Fuel cut-off solenoid valve – open circuit;
signal too high/too low

• Fuel cut-off solenoid valve defective
• Plug-in connection defective, cable
interrupted
Fuel rail/system pressure too low
• Fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator
defective
• Fuel supply line/fuel filter blocked
• Filter on intake side of pump (in case of
retrofitting/replacement)
Mixture too rich
• Activated carbon filter solenoid valve stuck
(permanently open): Fuel-enriched air from
the activated carbon filter is drawn into the
intake air system
• Diaphragm of the pneumatic fuel pressure
regulator leaking: Fuel is drawn into the
intake air system through the vacuum line
• Stuck/carbonised EGR valve is always open
NEXT STEPS/
POSSIBLE REMEDIES
• Measure power supply/wiring harness,
replace if necessary
• Check fuel cut-off solenoid valve,
replace if necessary
• Check fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator,
replace if necessary
• Check fuel supply line/fuel filter,
replace if necessary
• Remove filter that may be fitted on the
intake side of the pump
• Check ACF solenoid valve, replace if
necessary
• Check fuel pressure regulator, replace if
necessary
• Check EGR valve:
-- If the EGR valve is always open, exhaust
gas is recirculated permanently
-- If the EGR valve is stuck, replace and find
out the causes of the sticking
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE
P0441 P0462/P0463
DISPLAYED FAULTS Fuel vapour collecting system – incorrect flow
rate

• Leakage in activated carbon filter system
(ACF system), e.g. hose connections
leaking
• ACF solenoid valve stuck (permanently
open)
Fuel level sensor – input signal too low/too
high

• Sender unit shows that fuel level is too low
• Engine shuts off automatically or does not
start
NEXT STEPS/
POSSIBLE REMEDIES
• Examine ACF system for leakage,
e.g. by checking hose connections,
replace if necessary
• Check ACF solenoid valve, replace if
necessary
• Check sender unit or module with sender
unit, replace if necessary
