006-033 STC Fuel Pressure Switch

Clean and Inspect for Reuse

NOTE: Some
engines use a
hydromechanical
STC control
valve instead of
the electric
switch covered
in this
procedure. Refer
to Procedure
205-001, Service
Literature for
more information
on the
hydromechanical
valve.

Remove the
mounting clamp
(1).

Inspect the switch

for damage.

Connect
multimeter, Part
Number 3164488,
3164489, or
equivalent to the
terminal studs on
the switch. The
multimeter
indicator will show
the switch is in the
closed position
(zero ohm).

Connect a
 regulated
compressed air
line and a gauge
to the switch.

Increase the air

pressure until the
multimeter
indicates the
switch is in the
open position
(infinite
resistance). Read
the pressure
gauge.

The air pressure

gauge will indicate
345 to 386 kPa
[50 to 56 psi]
when the switch
opens.

Decrease the air

pressure until the
multimeter
indicates the
switch has
returned to the
closed position
(zero ohm).

The air pressure

gauge will indicate
138 to 179 kPa
[20 to 26 psi]
when the switch
closes.

If the switch is not

within
specifications, it
must be replaced.
