fuel-quantity control valve.
- Monitoring is enabled.
Voltage condition:
The test routine runs only when the following conditions are
satisfied:
- Rail pressure control with rail-pressure control valve, or
rail pressure control with rail-pressure control valve and
fuel-quantity control valve.
- Monitoring is enabled.

Condition for fault memory entry
Debounce (240 ms)

Action in service
Check the following potential problem sources:
- Rail-pressure control valve sticking shut.
