Symptom

Engine "stumble" under load; Hard starting; Low power.

Diagnosis & fix steps

Fuel Delivery Pressure High (Voltage). LOGIC: Signal > 4.5V (Open Circuit). Without this signal, the ECM can't adjust the transfer pump or timing for fuel density. ACTION: 1. Perform "Bypass Test" (Jumper pins). If code changes to FMI 4, sensor is dead. 2. Inspect connector for "pin fret" (vibration wear). FIX: Replace Fuel Pressure Sensor or repair broken signal wire.

Red Seal field insights

On many CAT C-series engines, this sensor is identical to the Oil Pressure sensor. You can swap them for testing purposes to see if the fault follows the sensor.
