SMCS - 1000-035

Note: Use this procedure only if the engine shuts down completely and the engine must be
restarted.

Probable Causes
• Diagnostic codes

• Air Intake

• Electrical connectors

• Fuel supply

Recommended Actions
Diagnostic Codes

Check for any event and active diagnostic codes on the electronic service tool. Troubleshoot any
active diagnostic codes or recently logged diagnostic codes before continuing with this procedure.

Air Intake

1. Check the air filter for blockage or restriction.

2. Check the air intake duct for blockages or restrictions.

Electrical Connectors

1. Check for correct installation of connectors at the following locations:

◦ P1 ECM connector

◦ P2 ECM connector

◦ P532 Fuel rail pump solenoid connector

2. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

3. Inspect the battery cables from the ECM to the battery compartment. Refer to the Schematic
Diagram. Inspect the cables and the power relay. Check the power and ground connections
to the ECM. Refer to the schematic diagram for more information.

4. Select the "Wiggle Test" from the diagnostic tests on the electronic service tool.

5. Choose the appropriate group of parameters to monitor.

6. Press the "Start" button. Wiggle the wiring harness in order to reproduce intermittent faults.

Note: If an intermittent fault exists, the status will be highlighted and an audible beep will
be heard.

7. Repair any faults and ensure that the symptom has been cleared. If the symptom is still
present, refer to "Fuel Supply".

Fuel Supply

NOTICE

Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow
the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine
again.

1. Visually check the fuel tank for fuel. The fuel gauge may be faulty.

2. Ensure that the fuel supply valve (if equipped) is in the full OPEN position.

3. If the temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax).

4. Check the primary filter/water separator for water in the fuel.

5. Check for fuel supply lines that are restricted.

6. Check that the low pressure fuel lines are tight and secured properly.

7. Check the fuel filters.

8. Check the diesel fuel for contamination. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,
"Fuel Quality - Test".

9. Check for air in the fuel system. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Air in
Fuel - Test".

10. Ensure that the fuel system has been primed. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and
Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime".

11. Check the fuel pressure. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System
Pressure - Test".

12. If the fault has not been eliminated, repeat this test procedure from Test Step 1.
