The functional diagram for the EFP sensor includes Sensor Location
the following:
The EFP sensor is installed on the front side of the
ï EFP sensor fuel filter housing assembly.
ï Engine Control Module (ECM) Tools
ï Engine lamp (amber) ï Electronic Service Tool (EST) with
MasterDiagnosticsÆ Software (page 447)
Function
ï IC4 USB Interface Cable (page 447)
The EFP sensor measures fuel pressure between
ï Digital Multimeter (DMM) (Fluke 88V) (page 444)
the low pressure fuel pump and the filter cartridge.
The EFP sensor provides a feedback signal to the ï 3-Banana Plug Harness (page 439)
ECM indicating engine fuel pressure. During engine
ï 500 Ohm Resistor Harness (page 441)
operation, if pressure is not satisfactory, the ECM
turns on the amber FUEL lamp to alert the operator ï 180-Pin Breakout Box (page 440)
when the fuel filter needs servicing.

1. Using EST, open the D_ContinuousMonitor.ssn.
2. Monitor sensor voltage. Verify an active
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for the sensor.
ï If DTC is inactive, monitor the Parameter
Identifier (PID) while wiggling the connector
and all wires at suspected location. If the
circuit is interrupted, the PID spikes and the
DTC goes active.

ï If DTC is active, proceed to the next step.

3. Disconnect engine harness from sensor. Inspect
connectors for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose
pins using Pin Grip Inspection (page 199). Repair
if necessary.
4. Connect breakout harness to engine harness.
Leave sensor disconnected.

Sensor Circuit Check

Connect breakout harness. Leave sensor disconnected. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Use EST to monitor
PID and DMM to measure voltage.
Test Point Spec Comment
EST ñ Monitor EFPv 0V If > 0.25 V, check EFP signal circuit for short to PWR
DMM ó Measure volts 5.0 V +/- 0.5 V If > 5.5 V, check EFP VREF for short to PWR.
1 to GND If < 4.5 V, check EFP VREF for OPEN or short to GND. Do
Harness Resistance Check (page 321).
EST ñ Monitor EFPv 5V If < 4.5 V, check EFP signal for OPEN. Do Harness
Resistance Check (page 321).
Short across breakout
harness pins 1 and 3
DMM ó Measure 5 V +/- 0.5 V If < 4.5 V, check EFP GND for OPEN. Do Harness
voltage Resistance Check (page 321).
1 and 2
If checks are within specification, connect sensor and clear DTCs. If active code remains, replace EFP
sensor.

Connector Voltage Check

Connect breakout harness. Leave sensor disconnected. Turn ignition switch to ON. Use DMM to measure
voltage.
Test Point Spec Comment
1 to GND 5V If > 5.5 V, check EFP VREF for short to PWR.
If < 4.5 V, check EFP VREF for OPEN or short to GND. Do
Harness Resistance Check (page 321).
2 to GND 0V If > 0.25 V, check EFP GND circuit for short to PWR.
3 to GND 0V If > 0.25 V, check EFP signal circuit for short to PWR.

Connector Resistance Check to GND

Turn ignition switch to OFF. Connect breakout harness. Leave sensor disconnected. Use DMM to measure
resistance.
Test Point Spec Comment
1 to GND > 1 kΩ If < 1 kΩ, check for short to GND.

2 to GND <5Ω If > 5 Ω, check for OPEN circuit. Do Harness Resistance

Check (page 368).
3 to GND > 1 kΩ If < 1 kΩ, check for short to GND.

Harness Resistance Check

Turn ignition switch to OFF. Connect breakout box and sensor breakout harness. Leave ECM and sensor
disconnected. Use DMM to measure resistance.
Test Point Spec Comment
1 to E1-40 <5Ω If > 5 Ω, check EFP VREF circuit for OPEN.
2 to E1-37 <5Ω If > 5 Ω, check EFP GND circuit for OPEN.
3 to E1-20 <5Ω If > 5 Ω, check EFP signal circuit for OPEN.
