SPN 520268 FMI 16 diagnostic summary

The document lists possible causes including external fuel leakage between the high-pressure pump and injectors, Pressure Limiting Valve (PLV) leakage, fuel filter integrity, fuel supply and aeration issues, intermittent loss of engine-speed signal, high-pressure pump failure, injector leakage, fuel contamination, and the rail-pressure sensor. Service tools called out are J-48876, J-48704 and J-48706, with DDDL 7.06 sp2 or higher. The step-by-step flow covers fuel-level and contamination checks, a Fuel System Integrity Check (FSIC) routine, rail-pressure bleed-off timing, PLV flow testing, and high-pressure pump verification before any MCM2.1 replacement.
