GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONÐ2.5L DIESEL
Certain components of the fuel system on the 2.5L
diesel engine are controlled by the Bosch Engine con-
troller which is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Refer to Powertrain Control Module in the Fuel
Injection SystemÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this
group for a list of items controlled by the PCM. The
Body Control Module (BCM) is mounted to a bracket
located inside the vehicle under the dashpanel to the
left of the steering column (Fig. 1). The PCM is
mounted at the base of the center console in front of
the Air Bag Module. (Fig. 2).
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, fuel
injection pump (engine mounted), fuel filter/water
separator, fuel tank module, electrical fuel gauge
sending unit, glow plugs, glow plug relay, PCM, and
all the electrical components that control the fuel
system. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses and
fittings, vacuum hoses, and fuel injector(s).
AFuel Return System.A separate fuel return
system is used. This will route excess fuel: from the
fuel injectors; through individual injector drain
tubes; through the fuel injection pump overflow
valve; and back to the fuel tank through a separate
fuel line.TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, two pressure relief/rollover valves, fuel filler
tube, fuel tank module containing a fuel gauge send-
ing unit, and a pressure-vacuum filler cap.
