P2370

Fuel Volume Regulator B Control Circuit Open

An open circuit is detected on the control line for the second fuel volume regulator (B) used on twin high-pressure-pump diesel systems. Without this regulator the high-pressure pump cannot meter fuel for its assigned cylinder bank, leading to rail-pressure faults and limp-home behaviour.
