@materthegreater , I think Deere included that AT318139 pump in the 75G catalog by mistake . I believe the 24 volt version is part # MIU802991 .
See screenshot below.

Based on your tests, I would replace the lift pump as the next logical step. Certainly before going further into the high pressure system in my opinion.I assume there are two different pumps, surely the same one can't run on both 12 and 24 volt?
Is my thinking correct that I should try replacing the pump next?
What about the MIU802991 Diesel Dave posted in #61?
So is it still these results?:
Key on engine off: 4 psi
Key on engine idle: 1.5 psi
High idle no load: 1 psi
High idle under load: 0
If the lift pump and flow is good, it's letting a lot of fuel flow when at high idle? Where's it going...
Did you ask for the MIU802991 pump? There are 10 available in the Deere parts depot in Grimsby, which serves your local dealers.
If the pressure drops off at full throttle, and the suction side from the tank to the HP pump is good, the issue may be in the high pressure fuel system.
Please provide the machine serial number.
Hopefully that didn't happen. I didn't see the gauge go higher than 4.5 psi. How is the pressure supposed to be regulated in this system?Better keep an eye on your engine oil level. Pinching the fuel return on HPCR fuel systems can blow out the shaft seal on the HP pump.
I have not checked the volume with the new pump. I may not be fully understanding the entire troubleshooting procedure, but the way I read it is that the high pressure tests only come into play once the low pressure side is within the specified ranges. This quote below from the guide seems to be pointing to the "rail limiter". I'm not sure what or where that is.Did you check the fuel volume test with the new pump? Seems like you might need to dive into the high pressure/electrical sensor/wiring side after all, unfortunately. I re-read the trouble shooting procedure @mg2361 supplied and it looks like there are some simple tests that can be done. However, some of the other tests seem to require service advisors to complete, mainly to monitor pressures? Can a regular fuel pressure gauge of the appropriate specs be installed temporarily somewhere on the common rail if service advisor is not available?
While testing, did your gauge readings fall within the pressure ranges listed above and fuel is free of bubbles?
YES: Go to high pressure system checks.
NO: Low supply system pressure can occur under two conditions. There could be a supply issue or excessive
leakage in the high pressure fuel system. If the rail limiter is open or has opened before or injector leakage is
high the high pressure pump will attempt to compensate for the leakage. This will consume more fuel then
the suppy pressure fuel system can deliver, therefore causing supply pressure to be low or draw a vacuum.
Sorry, I guess I overlooked the fact you still had 0 psi at high idle with the new pump. No bueno. That said, the section you quoted from the troubleshooting instructions seems like the next step.I have not checked the volume with the new pump. I may not be fully understanding the entire troubleshooting procedure, but the way I read it is that the high pressure tests only come into play once the low pressure side is within the specified ranges. This quote below from the guide seems to be pointing to the "rail limiter". I'm not sure what or where that is.
I think the next thing I'm going to try is replacing all the rubber fuel lines. Am I missing something from the troubleshooting procedure?
Good catch. I was thinking that there was a separate pressure regulator for the low side and high side, but it doesn't sound like it.In looking at the fuel diagram, I believe that the fuel limiter is another name for the main rail relief. See below from the troubleshooting-

Unfortunately, no. Only the low pressure side can be pressure tested with gauges.Can a regular fuel pressure gauge of the appropriate specs be installed temporarily somewhere on the common rail if service advisor is not available?
The electric fuel pump is self regulating.How is the pressure supposed to be regulated in this system?
Ok, that makes sense. So if the pressure drops below the specified values and all the lines are clear, then it must be loosing too much volume somewhere which prevents it from maintaining proper pressure?The electric fuel pump is self regulating.
Does this common rail pressure from the monitoring screen read the same value that Service Advisor would read? This is in MPa but it converts to 117 psi. Is this close enough to the desired zero value? If not, I guess it means the sensor is bad?Unfortunately, no. Only the low pressure side can be pressure tested with gauges.
