Fuel Lift Pump Failure

Variant 1

System

Electrical

Symptom

Fuel Lift Pump Failure

Diagnosis & fix steps

LOGIC: Electric Fuel Priming Pump Current Below Normal. ACTION: Measure resistance at the priming pump motor pins. If "Open Loop," the internal motor brushes are gone.

Red Seal field insights

Location: Usually found near the primary fuel filter base. FIX: Replace the 24V priming pump assembly.

Variant 2

System

Aftertreatment

Symptom

Regen Fails / Engine Derate

Diagnosis & fix steps

LOGIC: ARD Fuel Flow Diverter Valve Current Below Normal (Open Circuit). ACTION: Check for 24V supply and verify coil resistance at the actuator pins.

Red Seal field insights

Specs: 15 to 30 Ohms. PRO-TIP: On the 336, the diverter valve is usually near the fuel manifold. If resistance is high, the internal coil is failing.

Variant 3

System

Engine

Symptom

Rough Run / Miss

Diagnosis & fix steps

LOGIC: Ignition Coil #3 Current Below Normal. ACTION: Measure coil primary resistance. If OL, replace coil.

Red Seal field insights

CAT 336: Check harness for heat damage near the exhaust manifold.
