HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINE LEAK TEST
High±pressure fuel line leaks can cause starting
problems and poor engine performance.
WARNING: DUE TO EXTREME FUEL PRESSURES
OF UP TO 45,000 KPA (6526 PSI), USE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR HIGH±PRESSURE
FUEL LEAKS. DO NOT GET YOUR HAND, OR ANY
PART OF YOUR BODY NEAR A SUSPECTED LEAK.
INSPECT FOR HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH
A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
Start the engine. Move the cardboard over the
high±pressure fuel lines and check for fuel spray onto
the cardboard (Fig. 24). If a high±pressure line con-
nection is leaking, bleed the system and tighten the
connection. Refer to the Air Bleed Procedure in this
group for procedures. Replace damaged, restricted or
leaking high±pressure fuel lines with the correct
replacement line.
CAUTION: The high±pressure fuel lines must be
clamped securely in place in the holders. The lines
cannot contact each other or other components. Do
not attempt to weld high±pressure fuel lines or to
repair lines that are damaged. Only use the recom-
mended lines when replacement of high±pressure

SERVICE PROCEDURES
AIR BLEED PROCEDURES
AIR BLEEDING AT FUEL FILTER
A certain amount of air may become trapped in the
fuel system when fuel system components are ser-
viced or replaced. Bleed the system as needed after
fuel system service according to the following proce-
dures.
WARNING: DO NOT BLEED AIR FROM THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF A HOT ENGINE. DO NOT ALLOW FUEL
TO SPRAY ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHEN
BLEEDING AIR FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM.
Some air enters the fuel system when the fuel fil-
ter or injection pump supply line is changed. This
small amount of air is vented automatically from the
injection pump through the fuel drain manifold tubes
if the filter was changed according to instructions.
Ensure the bowl of the fuel filter/water separator is
full of fuel
It may be necessary to manually bleed the system
if:
²The bowl of the fuel filter/water separator is not
partially filled before installation of a new filter
²The injection pump is replaced

CAUTION: When testing the MAP sensor, be sure
that the harness wires are not damaged by the test
meter probes.
(1) Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the
MAP sensor connector between terminals 1 and 4
(Fig. 29). With the ignition switch ON and the engine
not running, output voltage should be 4 to 5 volts.
The voltage should drop to 1.5 to 2.1 volts with a hot,
neutral idle speed condition. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, go to step 3.
(2) Test PCM terminal 36 for the same voltage
described in the previous step to verify wire harness
condition. Repair as required.(3) Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at sensor
connector terminal 1 and PCM terminal 43. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, repair as required.
(4) Test MAP sensor supply voltage between sen-
sor connector terminals 3 and 1 with the key ON.
The voltage should be approximately 5 volts (6.5V).
Five volts (6.5V) should also be at terminal 61 of the
PCM. If OK, replace MAP sensor. If not OK, repair or
replace the wire harness as required.
KNOCK SENSORÐ2.0L ENGINE
The knock sensor output voltage to the PCM can
be read with the DRB III scan tool. Sensor output
should be between 80 mV and 4 volts with the engine
running between 576 and 2208 rpm. If the output
falls outside of this range a DTC will be set.

grams for correct pinout.
With the ignition switch in the ON position, check
the output voltage at the center terminal wire of the
connector. Check the output voltage at idle and at
Wide-Open-Throttle (WOT). At idle, TPS output volt-
age should be approximately 0.38 volts to 1.2 volts.
At wide open throttle, TPS output voltage should be
approximately 3.1 volts to 4.4 volts. The output volt-
age should gradually increase as the throttle plate
moves slowly from idle to WOT.
Check for spread terminals at the sensor and PCM
connections before replacing the TPS.
THROTTLE BODY MINIMUM AIR FLOW
(1) Turn ignition key to Off.
(2) D
isconnect the PCV valve hose from the intake
manifold nipple (Fig. 31). Cap the PCV vacuum nipple.
(3) Disconnect purge hose from the nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 32).(4) Use a piece of hose to attach Air Metering Ori-
fice 6457 (0.125 in. orifice) to the purge nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 33).
(5) Ensure that all accessories are off.
(6) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
connector inside the passenger compartment.
(7) Run engine in Park or Neutral until the cooling
fan has cycled on and off at least once (180ÉF).

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This section will cover components either regulated
or controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The fuel heater relay, fuel heater and fuel
gauge are not operated by the PCM. These compo-
nents are controlled by the ignition (key) switch. All
other fuel system electrical components necessary to
operate the engine are controlled or regulated by the
PCM. Refer to the following PCM description for
more information.
Certain fuel system component failures may cause
a no start, or prevent the engine from running. It is
important to know that the PCM has a featurewhere, if possible, it will ignore the failed sensor, set
a code related to the sensor, and operate the engine
in a ªLimp Homeº mode. When the PCM is operating
in a ªLimp Homeº mode, the Diesel Glow Plug lamp
on the instrument panel will be constantly illumi-
nated, and the engine will most likely have a notice-
able loss of performance. An example of this would be
an Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor failure, and in
that situation, the engine would run at a constant
1100 RPM, regardless of the actual position of the
pedal. This is the most extreme of the three ªLimp
Homeº modes.
In addition to indicating that the glow plugs are
hot enough to start combustion, the Glow Plug Lamp
is also used in the diagnosis of the PCM, and when
NS/GSFUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINE 14 - 43

illuminated constantly, it usually indicates a problem
has been detected somewhere within the fuel system.
The DRBIII scan tool is the best method for commu-
nicating with the PCM to diagnose faults within the
system.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is mounted
in the center consule to a bracket located in front of
the Air Bag Module (Fig. 1).

changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various
switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operationsthrough different system components. These compo-
nents are referred to asPCM Outputs.The sensors
and switches that provide inputs to the PCM are con-
sideredPCM Inputs.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
The Boost Pressure Sensor is mounted to the top of
the intake manifold. (Fig. 2) It is a sensor that mea-
sures both manifold vacuum and turbo boost, and it
also contains an integrated intake air temperature
sensor. The Boost Pressure Sensor takes the place of
the Mass Air Flow (MAF). In the Intake Air Temper-
ature Sensor component, there is a ceramic element
that changes its resistance based on temperature.
The ceramic element is part of an electronic circuit
connected to the PCM, and has a voltage applied to
it. The ceramic element is exposed to the air inside
the intake. This air has a cooling effect on the
ceramic element, and its resistance changes. This
causes the voltage flowing through the intake air
temperature circuit to vary. The voltage signal pro-
duced by the Intake Air Temperature Sensor changes
inversely to the temperature, and is measured by the
PCM. As a general rule, when the temperature of the
air in the intake is high, the voltage signal produced
by the Intake Air Temperature Sensor is low. The
component of the Boost Pressure Sensor that mea-
sures manifold vacuum and turbo boost produces a
voltage signal that is proportional to the pressure in
the inake manifold. When the intake manifold pres-
sure is low, the voltage is low, and when the pressure
is high, the voltage is high. The PCM uses the volt-
age signals from the Boost Pressure Sensor, and the
Intake Air Temperature Sensor to determine the
amount of air flowing through the intake manifold.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
The PCM can learn if the vehicle has a Vehicle
Theft Alarm (VTA) system. Once it detects the vehi-
cle having VTA,the controller can ONLY BE
USED ON VEHICLES WITH VTA.If the PCM is put it on a vehicle without VTA the
Glow Plug Lamp will start to blink and the vehicle
will not start.
The PCM cannot be flashed to remove the VTA.
BATTERY VOLTAGEÐPCM INPUT
The battery voltage input provides power to the
PCM. It also informs the PCM what voltage level is
being supplied by the generator once the vehicle is
running.
The battery input also provides the voltage that is
needed to keep the PCM memory alive. The memory
stores Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) messages.
Trouble codes will still be stored even if the battary
voltage is lost.
SENSOR RETURNÐPCM INPUT (ANALOG
GROUND)
Sensor Return provides a low noise Analog ground
reference for all system sensors.
SIGNAL GROUNDÐPCM INPUT
Signal ground provides a low noise ground to the
data link connector.
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
The ignition circuit sense input signals the PCM
that the ignition (key) switch has been turned to the
ON position. This signal initiates the glow plug con-
trol routine to begin the ªpre±heatº cycle.
START SIGNALÐPCM INPUT
This input tells the PCM that the engine starter is
being operated. This in turn will start the glow plug
ªpost±heatº cycle.
POWER GROUND
Provides a common ground for power devices (sole-
noid and relay devices).
NEEDLE MOVEMENT OR INSTRUMENTED FIRST
INJECTORÐPCM INPUT
This input from the PCM supplies a constant 30
mA electrical current source for the first injector sen-
sor. It will vary the voltage to this sensor when it
senses a mechanical movement within the injector
needle (pintle) of the number±1 cylinder fuel injector.
When this voltage has been determined by the PCM,
it will then control an output to the fuel timing sole-
noid (the fuel timing solenoid is located on the fuel
injection pump). Also refer to Fuel Injection Pump for
additional information.
The first injector sensor is a magnetic (inductive)
type.
Fig. 2 Boost Pressure Sensor Location
NS/GSFUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINE 14 - 45
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

The speed sensor generates 8 pulses per sensor
revolution. These signals, in conjunction with a
closed throttle signal from the throttle position sen-
sor, indicate a closed throttle deceleration to the
PCM. When the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closed
throttle signal is received by the PCM (but a speed
sensor signal is not received).
In addition to determining distance and vehicle
speed, the output from the sensor is used to control
speed control operation.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUTS
The speed control system provides five separate
inputs to the PCM; On/Off, Set, Resume/Accel, Cancel,
and Decel.. The On/Off input informs the PCM that
the speed control system has been activated. The Set
input informs the PCM that a fixed vehicle speed has
been selected. The Resume input indicates to the PCM
that the previous fixed speed is requested.
Speed control operation will start at 50 km/h±142
km/h (35±85 mph). The upper range of operation is
not restricted by vehicle speed. Inputs that affect
speed control operation are vehicle speed sensor and
throttle position sensor.
Refer to Group 8H for further speed control infor-
mation.
DIESEL PCM RELAYÐPCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the Diesel relay has been activated. The Diesel
relay is located in the PDC. The PDC is located next
to the battery in the engine compartment. For the
location of the relay within the PDC, refer to label on
PDC cover.
This input is used only to sense that the Diesel
relay is energized. If the PCM does not see 12 volts +
at this input when the Diesel relay should be acti-
vated, it will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
FIVE VOLT POWERÐPCM OUTPUT
This circuit supplies approximately 5 volts to
power the Accelerator Pedal Postion Sensor, Mass Air
Flow Sensor, and A/C Pressure Sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT GAUGEÐPCM OUTPUT
Refer to the Instrument Panel and Gauges group
for additional information.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGEÐPCM OUTPUT
Refer to the Instrument Panel and Gauges group
for additional information.
GLOW PLUG LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
The Glow Plug lamp (malfunction indicator lamp)
illuminates on the message center each time the igni-
tion (key) switch is turned on. It will stay on for
about two seconds as a bulb test.If the PCM receives an incorrect signal, or no sig-
nal from certain sensors or components, the lamp
BLINKS. This is a warning that the PCM has
recorded a system or sensor malfunction. It signals
an immediate need for service. There are only 5
HARD faults that can turn on this lamp to make it
blink.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM OUTPUTS
These two circuits control the fuel quantity actua-
tor to regulate vehicle speed. Refer to Group 8H for
Speed Control information.
AIR CONDITIONING RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
This circuit controls a ground signal for operation
of the A/C clutch relay. Also refer to Air Conditioning
(A/C) ControlsÐPCM Input for additional informa-
tion.
The A/C relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). The PDC is located next to the battery
in the engine compartment. For the location of the
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
FUEL TIMING SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The fuel timing solenoid is located on the bottom of
the fuel injection pump (Fig. 10).
This 12+ volt, pulse width modulated (duty±cycle)
output controls the amount of fuel timing (advance)
in the fuel injection pump. The higher the duty-

14 - 48 FUEL SYSTEMÐ2.5L DIESEL ENGINE/2.0L GAS ENGINENS/GS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

±cycle, the lower the advance. The lower the duty-
±cycle, the more advanced the fuel timing.
The duty±cycle is determined by the PCM from
inputs it receives from the fuel injector sensor and
engine speed sensor.
TACHOMETERÐPCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies engine rpm values to the Body
Controller that then supplies the instrument cluster
mounted tachometer (if equipped). Refer to Group 8E
for tachometer information.
GLOW PLUG RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The glow plug relay is located in the engine com-
partment on the left±inner fender (Fig. 11).
When the ignition (key) switch is placed in the ON
position, a signal is sent to the PCM relating current
engine coolant temperature. This signal is sent from
the engine coolant temperature sensor.
After receiving this signal, the PCM will determine
if, when and for how long a period the glow plug
relay should be activated. This is done before, during
and after the engine is started. Whenever the glow
plug relay is activated, it will control the 12V+ 100
amp circuit for the operation of the four glow plugs.
The Glow Plug lamp is tied to this circuit. Lamp
operation is also controlled by the PCM.
With a cold engine, the glow plug relay and glow
plugs may be activated for a maximum time of 200
seconds. Refer to the following Glow Plug Control
chart for a temperature/time comparison of glow plug
relay operation.In this chart, Pre±Heat and Post±Heat times are
mentioned. Pre±heat is the amount of time the glow
plug relay circuit is activated when the ignition (key)
switch is ON, but the engine has yet to be started.
Post±heat is the amount of time the glow plug relay
circuit is activated after the engine is operating. The
Glow Plug lamp will not be illuminated during the
post±heat cycle.
GLOW PLUGS
Glow plugs are used to help start a cold or cool
engine. The plug will heat up and glow to heat the
combustion chamber of each cylinder. An individual
plug is used for each cylinder. Each plug is threaded
into the cylinder head above the fuel injector (Fig. 12).
Each plug will momentarily draw approximately 25
amps of electrical current during the initial key±on
cycle. This is on a cold or cool engine. After heating,
