Update of Model Types, Technical Background, Service Information
Condition
Customer complains of a check-engine light resulting from fault “P310B00- Fuel low pressure – implausible” in the
DME control unit.
Technical Background
The diagnostic responsible for this fault monitors supply deviation within a finite time between the demanded or
target low-pressure requested of the low-pressure fuel pump and that of the actual supplied quantity to meet the
request, as correlated to pressure. In some instances, manufacturing tolerances for the low-pressure pump result
in the actual supplied fuel quantity exceeding the DME’s requested quantity, in other words, the pump’s operation
is ‘too effective.’ By consulting the Vehicle Analysis Log (VAL) containing the fault it is possible to see if the supplied
fuel quantity exceeded the requested quantity in the low-pressure system to cause the fault.

Figure 1
In the example provided below of Figure 2, with imperial units provided, it is apparent the excess low-pressure fuel
supply caused the fault. Specifically, the value “B220_Fuel pressure actual value” of 10653.7 lbf/ft2 exceeds
“B221_Fuel low pressure setpoint” of 10442.7 lbf/ft2. This deviation occurred despite the DME regulating the demand downwards (-) by 1948.6 lbf/ft² or 14.99% to compensate for the excess supply, but the regulation could not
compensate enough to prevent the fault.
Figure 2 - FC: P310B00 Environmental Data Values
If the fault data is consistent with the condition exemplified in Figure 1, please replace the fuel pump, NOT the fuel
pressure sensor.
A software update to correct the diagnostic boundary parameters is available for GT3.

Service Information
For Non-GT3 Models
1.
Follow the instructions from Guided Fault Finding to rule out any other possible fault causes.
2.
Referring to Figure 2. Identify measurement values for XX_Adaption value for low fuel pressure and A260_
Fuel pump control unit activation.
3.
Follow WM 206619 – Removing and installing fuel pump to replace the fuel pump.
4.
Verify the repair by monitoring the low-pressure fuel delivery under the engine operating parameters of the
fault’s environmental data.
For GT3 Models
1.
Perform DME programming with PIWIS Tester version 42.400.020 or newer Target DME Porsche Part
