CDI-D OM646.8-- engine 4 cyl diesel

Symptoms

• After a short drive, the engine MIL and ESP lights turn on the instrument cluster.
• There is no throttle response.
• The engine will crank but not restart.

• Occasional misfire/rev limit at various engine rpm

Fault code:

P2088 Check sensor voltage 1 stored.

Possible Causes

Rail pressure sensor wiring chaffing/rubbing against aluminium thermostat housing, causing the 5v sensor supply voltage circuit to short and lose power to the following components:

       B37 accelerator pedal sensor 1

       B37 accelerator pedal sensor 2

       B4/6 rail pressure sensor

       B6/1 camshaft hall sensor

Repair Steps

1. Remove engine cover to gain access to B4/6 fuel rail pressure sensor.
2. Locate damaged wiring and reposition away from thermostat housing / secure with a cable tie so wiring is now situated over existing wiring and not over the thermostat.
   

After

3. Refit engine cover and erase fault codes.
4. Road test vehicle to verify repair.
