engine DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

5.7L V-8
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) (4) sensor is mounted
into the right rear side of the cylinder block. It is posi-
tioned and bolted into a machined hole.
OPERATION
3.7L V-6
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM interprets
the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position.
The PCM then uses this position, along with other
inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition
timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (targetwheel) (1) is bolted to the engine
crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at
its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they
pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the
PCM.

INJECTOR - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
An individual fuel injector (1) is used for each individ-
ual cylinder.
OPERATION
FUEL INJECTOR
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (1) is attached
into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The injector
contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at the nozzle
end. When electric current is supplied to the injector,
the armature and needle move a short distance
against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice.
Because the fuel is under high pressure, a fine spray
is developed in the shape of a pencil stream. The
spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air
entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned
into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine
wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is
equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector isenergized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on various inputs.
PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intakemanifold just above the intake valve ports
of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped with an attached
numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector with its respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector isenergized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.

Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-down the 12
volt power source to the fuel injectors if the PCM senses the ignition is on,but the engine is not running. This
occurs after the engine has not been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width) based on various inputs.

RELAY - FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The 5–pin, 12–volt, fuel pump relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to the label on the PDC
cover for relay location.
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump
relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is turned ON, and then applying a
ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will shut-down the ground
circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1–3 seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is
engaged.
REMOVAL
The fuel pump relay is located in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC) (2). Refer to label on PDC cover for
relay location.
1. Remove PDC cover.
2. Remove relay from PDC.
3. Check condition of relay terminals and PDC con-
nector terminals for damage or corrosion. Repair if
necessary before installing relay.
4. Check for pin height (pin height should be the
same for all terminals within the PDC connector).
Repair if necessary before installing relay.
INSTALLATION
The fuel pump relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay loca-
tion.
1. Install relay to PDC.
2. Install cover to PDC.
