VW GDI LIMP Mode AFTER Repairs?? (P0092 - High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit)

Рет қаралды 45,772

A local shop is FRUSTRATED with this 2015 VW Golf TSI.
It came in with the connector SMASHED on top of the High Pressure Fuel Pump.
They replaced the pump (Bosch) and connector, but it's still throwing a
P0092 - Fuel Pump Circuit Fault! WHY??
They cut and spliced some more wires, but this VW is STUBBORN...
Let's gather some hard DATA with an OSCILLOSCOPE, and see why this ECM is not happy with the replacement fuel pump. The results will blow your mind!!

This is off topic, but I have to say that the commenters for repair videos done by experts like Ivan and Eric O are so much nicer and civil than commenters for tuner videos. I tend to get PO’d by all of the rude comments for those videos, but here everyone is supportive and nice. Well done, everyone.

Bosch aftermarket stuff is sometimes counterfeit. I bought o2 sensors for my S10 online, correct Bosch part number. Did not work. Went to Oreilly's, bought their Bosch O2 sensor, same part number, twice the price, construction was a little different, and they worked. I did a comparison video of it on my little microscopic YT channel. I always look forward to your videos Ivan.

Interesting that a Bosch pump doesn't work, as this is probably a Bosch injection system (not 100% sure, though). Maybe it's the wrong one or a counterfeit? If it makes financial sense to fake NGK Sparkplugs, it probably is worth it to counterfeit a expensive di-pump. Good job on tbe diag btw.

Only had that same code about 2 weeks ago in the workshop, once I had monitored at the pcm which was under the screen it confirmed it was the pcm issue, after 2 HP pumps fitted by another workshop. The car was a VW golf btw Now I will continue watching your case study, as I am only 3 minutes in.

@edwinlomonaco6754 Ай бұрын

Yup. Just finished watching. To be honest i see this a lot. Being that this is what i do for a living. Aftermarket parts these days are really bad. I just had a Land Rocer yesterday that had codes for turbocharger boost control circuit A. Well the first thing i found is that the customer installed a boost control solenoid from Amazon. Installed an OEM solenoid......but still not boosting. Checked wastegate flap = ok. Checked wastegate actuator = ok. Checked solenoid again via bidirectional control = ok. Checked turbocharger spinning freely = ok. Finally started thinking "the customer did replace the solenoid once......maybe he didnt connect the vacuum lines correctly". Sure enough the vacuum reference and the wastegate control were backwards. And not Alldata, Identifix nor ProDemand had a vacuum diagram. So that was fun. The interesting part is that the way this vehicle is engineered it cannot tell the difference, in this case between a mechanical fault and and electrical fault. So because the wastegate actuator is a sinple vacuum diaphragm and has no position sensor the pcm cannot monitor it. And it does not have any sensors on the boost control solenoid itself. So essentially it commands the solenoid. Looks at target boost pressure. Doesnt see that target met. And assumes its because theres a circuit issue with the boost control solenoid. A bit of dumb system for a Land Rover. Although it is obvious once looking at the engine bay that its mostly a Ford Escape. Either way the aftermarket is going down the drain these days. Which is a constant battle for us techs because shops want to keep using them. Its simply more practical. But boy does cause headaches sometimes.

Admittedly, the scope did prove to be valuable here indeed. But ultimately, it was the varying of the test lights to gain the right amp load for the win. Now you asked, can it be diagnosed without a scope? Obviously, you're shooting in the dark without one. But anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Anyway, very well done Ivan. And that little test light trick is an awesome tip that I picked up from you a while back and I have been using it in a number of my diagnostics ever since. I can't thank you enough for that one.

@marianpassik7248 Ай бұрын

That high pressure fuel pump looked awfully familiar to me-- because it was the site of a $400 blunder on a 2014 VW Passat. While changing the spark plugs, I lightly pulled on the wiring harness and the plastic connector on the pump snapped right off! I did write Bosch to ask why they put such a fragile connector on this- but they never responded- go figure. I am reassured that others have seemed to do this exact same idiotic move! My replacement to the USA original pump was a Chinese made Delphi one and it worked fine. I will add that the pump in your excellent video is the one for the 1.8. If this engine was indeed the 2.0 , there is a different pump used(on Rock Auto)- which may explain what the problem was. Comparing the old and new parts may have been easier to fix!

8:34 what jumps out at me is that the current is going to zero after the initial peak. The computer is doing PWM, but there's no current. The load is open. You're right. You'd never spot that without a scope.

@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Ай бұрын

Load isn't open. ECM is sensing the initial high current spike and just shuts off the low-side driver so no more current flows :)

@russellhltn1396 Ай бұрын

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I had to download the waveforms to get a good look at them. During the bad pulses, there is current during the initial pulse, but during the follow-up PWM, there's none. However, that seems to be due to the computer deciding not to ground the pump. Interesting that there seems to be some kind of control on both lines and not one side always ground. Two channel isn't enough. Three was needed to see this.

Ok I’ve run into this before. Make sure to use the same brand pump that came out. So if it hitachi you can’t use a Bosch and Vica versa. The resistance values will be off and pcm thinks it’s open circuit. I’ve never had to buy one from VW ever. Always use the oem brand and you’ll be fine. Of course it could’ve just been a defect or counterfeit as well 😉

It would be interesting to see if you could insert a ballast resistor in series with one of the control wires to see if that would fix the issue. If I were to go about fixing this without a scope, I could use a test light pretty easily to determine that circuit integrity is good. From there, it has to be the pump or the ECM, and my money would be on the new pump being bad.
