    VP44 FUEL PUMP VALVE FEEDBACK ERROR

    CUMMINS

    FAULT CODE: 517


    PID: P0252

    VP44 Fuel Pump

    DESCRIPTION
    A mechanically stuck VP44 fuel control valve has been detected by
    the VP44 pump controller.
    This fault is typically set when a VP44 fuel pump beginning of
    injection point error (bit 10) is recognized at engine speeds of more
    than 700 rpm and commanded fueling of more than 20 mm³ for two
    seconds at a battery voltage of 9 VDC.
    In most instances, Fault Code 517 will occur in conjunction with
    Fault Code 363. The same diagnostic steps can be applied. The fault
    code can also be triggered by electrical noise, voltage feedback on
    ground loop, or high fuel return line restriction.
    COMPONENT LOCATION
    The VP44 fuel pump is located on the backside of the gear housing.

    TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
    Step 1A) Turn key switch ON and check to see if fault code is active at engine start-up using the diagnostic
    tool to read the fault codes.

    Fault Code 517 inactive or multiple active fault codes?

    Yes - Go to applicable fault code(s) No - Go to 2A

    Step 2A) Disconnect the engine harness from the fuel pump. Turn key switch ON and measure the supply
    voltage to the fuel pump while cranking the engine. Measure the supply voltage from pin 7 of the VP44 fuel
    pump harness connector to engine block ground.

    6.5 to 18 VDC (12-VDC system)


    8 to 18 VDC (during cranking)

    Yes - Go to 3A No - Go to 8A

    Step 3A) Install gage on the return fitting at the rear of the head. Turn key switch ON and check the fuel
    drain line from the fitting at the rear of the head. Inspect the fuel drain line for restrictions such as kinks, tie
    strap constrictions, or brackets pressing on lines.

    No kinks, tie strap constrictions, or brackets pressing on lines less than 69 kPa [10 psi]?

    Yes - Go to 4A No - Repair or replace the restricted line


    Go to 8A

    Step 4A) Turn key switch OFF and install the VP44 fuel pump diagnostic tool, Part Number 3163834, to
    check the operation of the fuel pump. Make sure air has been vented from the system before using the
    diagnostic tool. If replacing the VP 44 injection pump, perform a lift pump volume test at fuel filter outlet for
    25 seconds by bumping the starter. If volume is greater than 1.33 liter [45 oz], the low-pressure fuel system
    is operating correctly.
    Engine starts and runs in idle mode?

    Yes - Go to 5A No - Replace VP44 injection pump


    Go to 8A

    Step 5A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
    harness from the VP44 fuel pump. Flush and clean the connector pins using electrical contact cleaner, Part
    Number 3824510. Inspect the engine harness, fuel pump, and ECM connector pins for the following:
    • Loose connector
    • Corroded pins
    • Bent or broken pins
    • Pushed back or expanded pins
    • Moisture in or on the connector
    • Missing or damaged connector seals
    • Dirt or debris in or on the connector
    • Connector shell broke
    • Wire insulation damage
    • Damaged locking tab connector
    No damaged pins?

    Yes - Go to 5B No - Flush the dirt, debris, or moisture from the


    connector pins. Repair or replace the engine
    harness.
    Go to 8A

    Step 5B) Disconnect the fuel pump from the engine harness. Turn key switch ON and check the VP44 fuel
    pump supply resistance. Measure the resistance from pin 7 of the VP44 fuel pump harness connector to the
    positive (+) battery terminal.

    Less than 0.2 ohm?

    Yes - Go to 5C No - Inspect the relay and power supply fuses and


    replace if necessary. Go to 8A.

    Step 5C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect fuel pump from the engine harness. Disconnect the negative
    (-) battery terminal from the battery post. Check the VP44 fuel pump ground circuit resistance. Measure the
    resistance from pin 6 of the VP44 fuel pump harness connector to ground side, negative (-) battery ring
    terminal.

    Less than 0.2 ohm?

    Yes - Go to 6A No - Repair or replace the engine harness


    Go to 8A

    Step 6A) Turn key switch OFF and inspect the fuel pump solenoid wire leads.

    No loose or frayed wires?

    Yes - Go to 7A No - Go to 8A

    Step 7A) Turn key switch OFF and inspect the engine, ECM, and alternator ground connections. Disconnect
    and clean any loose connections found.
    NOTE: When checking ground connections, use a dedicated ground strap. A measurement of 2 to 3 ohms
    should exist between engine block to chassis frame, engine block to battery negative post, and chassis
    frame to battery negative post.

    No loose connections?

    Yes - Go to 7B No - Clean and tighten all loose connections


    Go to 8A

    Step 7B) Turn key switch OFF and inspect the OEM power distribution box fuses and wires.

    No loose wires or shorted plugs?

    Yes - Go to 7C No - Repair damaged or loose wiring and replace


    shorted plugs
    Go to 8A

    Step 7C) Turn key switch OFF and inspect the alternator. Check to make sure the alternator voltage is to
    specification. Refer to the OEM service manual for voltage specification. Disconnect the alternator output
    (remove the drive belt) and check for a fault code occurrence.

    No fault code occurrence?

    Yes - Go to 7D No - Charge or replace alternator


    Go to 8A

    Step 7D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the lift pump engine harness connector from the lift pump.
    Check the lift pump resistance. Measure the resistance from pin 1 to pin 2 of the lift pump connector.

    0.1 to 2.0 ohms (12-VDC system)


    0.1 to 4.0 ohms (24-VDC system)

    Yes - Go to 7E No - Replace the lift pump


    Go to 8A

    Step 7E) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the ECM A harness connector from the ECM. Disconnect the
    23-pin OEM pass-through connector. Run a wire from the key switch input line (pin A of the 23-pin OEM
    connector, engine harness side) directly to the battery positive (+) post. Turn key switch ON and check the
    key switch input line. Measure the voltage from pin 5 of the ECM A harness connector to engine block
    ground.

    Battery voltage?

    Yes - Go to 7F No - Repair or replace the OEM harness


    Go to 8A

    Step 7F) Turn key switch OFF and check any accessories in the vehicle for electrical noise interference.

    No interference from accessories?

    Yes - Go to 8A No - Correct electrical interference


    Go to 8A

    Step 8A) Connect all components. Turn key switch ON and disable the fault code. Start the engine and road
    test for 30 minutes. Verify that Fault Code 517 is inactive.

    Fault Code 517 inactive?

    Yes - Go to 8B No - Return to troubleshooting steps or contact local


    Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all steps
    have been completed and rechecked
    Go to 1A

    Step 8B) Connect all components. Turn key switch ON and clear inactive fault codes using the diagnostic
    tool.
    All fault codes cleared?

    Yes - Repair is complete No - Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes


    with appropriate troubleshooting steps.
