- SA6D140E-3
- Symptom
- CALL alarm, code E01, loss of power
- Reading
Codes read on the dashboard and on the ECU display, without a laptop.
- Draining
Water separator drained: water and sludge in the diesel. Fuel and filters replaced.
- Clearing
The ECU memory had never been cleared: old codes were muddling the reading. Memory cleared.
- Sorting
Only two codes remain, 7b and 7C: an injection pump supply fault.
- Measuring
Pump solenoid valves and wiring measured: 3.4 Ω at the pump, 3.8–3.9 Ω at the ECU. The electrical side is ruled out.
- Conclusion
The supply pump goes for a factory exchange, instead of parts being swapped at random.
Clear, measure, eliminate: that is the method the assistant applies to every diagnosis. [Result after the pump replacement and customer testimonial: to be completed]
