Intermittent Low Power or Power Cutout

SMCS - 1000-035

Note: Use this procedure only if the engine does not shut down completely.

Probable Causes
• Diagnostic codes

• Electrical connectors

• ECM connection

• Fuel supply

• Intake manifold pressure

Recommended Actions

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.

Diagnostic Codes

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

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

2. Repair the electrical connectors or replace the electrical connectors.

3. Ensure that all the connector seals are in place and that the connectors have been correctly
installed.

4. Ensure that the repairs have eliminated the fault. If the fault has not been eliminated proceed
to "ECM Connection".

ECM Connection

1. Check that the P2/J2 connector is correctly connected.

2. Check that the P1/J1 connector is correctly connected.

3. If a fault is suspected with the ECM power and ground connections refer to
Troubleshooting, "Ignition Keyswitch Circuit and Battery Supply Circuit - Test".

4. Verify that the ECM connections for the power and ground connections at the fuel pump are
correctly connected.

5. Repair any faults and ensure that the faults have been eliminated.

6. If the repairs do not eliminate the faults, proceed to "Fuel Supply".

Fuel Supply

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. Start the engine and then use the electronic service tool to check
that the pressure in the fuel rail is more than 18000 kPa (2610 psi).

12. If the repair does not eliminate the fault refer to "Intake Manifold Pressure".

Intake Manifold Pressure

1. Use the electronic service tool to verify the intake manifold pressure.

2. Turn the start switch to the ON position.

3. The intake manifold pressure should read 0 ± 0.5 kPa (0 ± 0.07 psi). If the intake manifold
pressure is not within the limits, perform the following steps.

4. Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped.

5. Ensure that the air filter is clean and serviceable.

6. Check the air intake and the exhaust system for the following defects:

◦ Blockages

◦ Restrictions

◦ Damage to the air intake and exhaust lines and hoses
