P0003: Fuel Volume Regulator (IMV) Control Circuit Low

Overview:

DTC Description as per ISO standard

Fuel Volume regulator (IMV) control circuit low.

ECU Pin Number

Customer Symptom

Vehicle may not start.

Fault Effects (On Vehicle)

Vehicle may not start, if started then drivability may get affected

as post & pilot injections will be cut off by EMS

Lamp Status (If Any)

CE lamp is on

Fault Detection Condition (Root cause)

This fault gets logged when IMV current feedback goes below lower

threshold.

Normal Operating Condition

No Faults related to IMV

Probable Trouble Area

IMV, ECU, Wiring harness

Healing Condition

Clear the errors, Ignition OFF to ON, engine idle & fly-up condition

Component Details:

The Inlet Metering Valve controls rail pressure by regulating the amount of fuel sent to the pumping components of the HP

pump. This actuator has a double role as follows:

First it improves injection system output since the HP pump only compresses the amount of fuel needed to maintain the

rail pressure required by the system.

Secondly it reduces the temperature in the fuel tank as HP pump will be fed with the required amount of fuel for Engine

needs.

In fact, when excess fuel is sent to the return circuit, the expansion of the fluid (from rail pressure to atmospheric

pressure) involves a large amount of heat. This generates an increase in temperature of the fuel sent back to the tank.

Preliminary Checks

Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned above. If

yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.

Check whether similar complaints are earlier reported. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with respect to

earlier issue closure.

Ensure IMV connector is properly connected to the IMV.

There is no mud, dirt, foreign particle accumulation on the connector.

Check for any EMS ecu pin damages / Pin back out.

Check for EMS ecu connector damages.
