Deutz pressure relief valve reset

2:38 runtime · Deutz TCD 2.9 engine · Equipment Master kit

A Deutz-powered machine rolls in with fault 825. The fuel pressure relief valve has opened more times than the ECU allows, and the counter has to be reset. Send it to the dealer, or keep the job? Travis keeps it. He finds the engine, reads the code, runs the PRV reset, and confirms the fault is gone, all from one laptop.

3:20 runtime · Kubota V3307 engine · Equipment Master kit
