The fault is recognized when the relative rail pressure prior
to engine start is >10 bar, and a mixture fault or fuel high-
pressure circuit fault appears following the engine start.
Potential problem source(s):
- Defect in wiring harness between DME and rail-pressure
sensor
- Defective rail-pressure sensor
- Defect in high-pressure system
- Defective DME
Terminal condition: none
Voltage condition:
- Onboard electrical system voltage between 9 V and 16 V
Temperature condition:

present for longer than 1 min.

Action in service
- Check wiring harness between DME and rail-pressure
sensor
