Bobcat code E000157-21: Rail pressure control fault

Check first

1. Park on level ground, lower the lift arms and attachment to the ground, stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Check the fuel level and refuel if low. If it ran dry, bleed air as the O&M manual shows.
3. Drain water from the fuel filter into a container as the O&M manual shows. Bobcat says to do this daily before operating.
4. Replace the fuel filter if it is due.
5. Don't loosen high-pressure fuel lines or feel for fuel leaks with your hand. Common-rail fuel is under very high pressure; leave that to a dealer.
6. Restart and see if the code comes back. If it does, stop and call your Bobcat dealer.

Likely causes

• Low fuel or air in the fuel system
• Plugged fuel filter or water in the fuel
• Restricted fuel supply line
• Rail pressure sensor or high-pressure pump fault

The fix

Fuel supply problems (low fuel, a plugged filter, water or air) cause many rail pressure codes. If the supply side is fine, a dealer needs to test rail pressure, the sensor and the pump.
