To avoid injury to eye or face, wear a face shield or goggles when conducting a pressure
test.
14. Using J-48710 tool, pressurize the fuel system to 517 kPa (75 psi) for four minutes.
15. Close the ball valve and disconnect the air supply from J-48710 tool.
Note : The fuel compensation pressure will increase after the “Start” button has been pressed.
Note : The fuel compensation pressure sensor reads in absolute pressure, therefore the pressure should read
about 100 kPa (14.5 psi) (depending on elevation) more than the fuel pressure gauge on the J-48710 tool. The
fuel compensation sensor will read close to 620 kPa (90 psi) of pressure when the J-48710 tool is reading 517
kPa (75 psi).
16. Press the “Start” button on DiagnosticLink.
17. Once the test is complete, review the DiagnosticLink log file test results.
18. Did the fuel system pass the FIS Low Pressure Leak Test?
18.a Yes; slowly remove the J-48710 cap tool from the fuel filter module. Remove the J-48710 tool from the
fuel filter module. Install the fuel feed line and return line on to the fuel filter module. Return to the initial
diagnostics that directed you to the FIS Low Pressure Leak Test.
18.b No; Go to step 19.

Note : KM59 GEN1 fuel filter module return lines are secured to the module with banjo bolts.
Note : KM63 GEN2 fuel filter module return lines are secured to the module with a mounting plate attached to the
PLV return line.
This procedure is used to measure and record fuel pressures in the low pressure side of the fuel system at given
locations and rpm. Once completed, it will provide electronic results that can be viewed in a DDDL log file.
Note : Step 1 only applies to the KM59 Gen 1 fuel system. For a KM63 Gen 2 fuel system, begin the test with step
2.
Check as follows:
1. For KM59 Gen 1 systems only , install tool number W470589099100 Fuel Pressure Test Plug into the high
pressure flange. Refer to Tool Letter 11 TL-9 for installation instructions.
2. For KM59 Gen 1 fuel systems and KM63 Gen 2 fuel systems, install tool number W470589149100 Filter
Cap w/Test Port. Refer to Tool Letter 12 TL-8 for installation instructions. Inspect the pre-filter at this time. If
the filter is plugged, clean or replace only this filter as needed.
3. Connect the DDDL to the vehicle and turn the ignition on. From the “Service Routines,” open the Fuel
System Integrity Check tab.
4. Start the Fuel System Integrity Check routine and follow the instructions in DDDL.
5. Monitor the low pressure pump outlet (LPPO) fuel pressure, the fuel compensation pressure and the low
pressure pump inlet (LPPI) fuel pressure while the Fuel System Integrity Check routine is running.

WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a
level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked.
Note : When measuring amplifier return flow, the needle return line MUST be removed from the fuel module and
put into a separate container to equalize pressure in the fuel gallery in the cylinder head. Only the amplifier return
fuel is measured.
3. Start engine and allow it to run at base idle.
4. Measure and record the amplifier return flow from the clear return line (J-48708-2) to the J-48708-1
container.
5. The maximum allowable amplifier return rate at idle is 15 liters per hour (250 mL per minute).
5.a If the fuel return flow rate is within specifications, the system passed. Return system to original
condition. Refer to section "Verify Repairs" .
5.b If the fuel return flow rate is out of specification, Go to step 6.
6. Using DDDL 7.09 or higher, read the “Idle Speed Balance Values” parameters under “Instrumentation”
section for all six cylinders. Refer to section "Checking Idle Speed Balance" . Did the Idle Speed Balance (ISB) test
identify a bad injector?
6.a Yes; replace bad injector. Refer to section "Removal of the Fuel Injector - Two-Filter System" . After replacing the
fuel injector, repeat the amplifier return flow test; Go to step 5.

NOTICE
During the Fuel System Integrity Check (FSIC) routine, if at any time unusual sounds or
anything that may indicate engine damage or unsafe conditions, abort the FISC routine
immediately by turning the ignition OFF and contact the Detroit™ Customer Support
Center for further assistance at 800-445-1980.
Using DiagnosticLink 8.06 or newer, the Automatic FSIC routine runs the engine through a routine that starts at
600 rpm, then goes to 850 rpm, 950 rpm, 1100 rpm, 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm. After 1800 rpm the engine will:
• return to 600 rpm
• ramp the rail pressure to 800 bar for 60 seconds
• request the ignition be turned off and back on
• perform a Fuel System Leak Detection routine
On occasion, the Motor Control Module (MCM) may not allow the rail pressure to ramp to 800 bar, at this point the
routine will substitute the rail pressure ramp with an idle speed adjustment to 1400 rpm.
Note : If the fuel mass is over 50 mg/st at 600 RPM (engine at operating temperature), abort the FSIC routine and
contact the Detroit™ Customer Support Center for further assistance at (800-445-1980).
