BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The boost pressure sensor is mounted to the top of
the intake manifold. The sensor allows the ECM to
monitor air pressure within the intake manifold. The
boost pressure sensor is also used as an intake air
temperature sensor (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
When the intake manifold pressure is low (high
vacuum) sensor voltage output is 0.25-1.8 volts at the
ECM. When the intake manifold pressure is high due
to turbo boost, sensor voltage output is 2.0-4.7 volts.
The sensor receives a 5-volts reference from the
ECM. Sensor ground is also provides by the ECM.
The ECM uses boost pressure combined with intake
air temerature to determine the volume of air enter-
ing the engine.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BOOST PRESSURE
SENSOR
If the boost pressure sensor fails, the ECM records
a DTC into memory and continues to operate theengine in one of the three limp-in modes. When the
ECM is operating in this mode, a loss of power will
be present, as if the turbocharger was not operating.
The best method for diagnosing faults with the boost
pressure sensor is with the DRB IIItscan tool. Refer
to the Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more
information.
Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in Emissions Con-
trol System for a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC's) for certain fuel system components.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The boost pressure sensor/intake air temperature
sensor is located in the top of the intake manifold
(Fig. 6). The intake air temperature sensor is used to
measure the intake air temperature. The intake air
temperture sensor is a dual purpose sensor. It is also
used as a boost pressure sensor.
OPERATION
The intake air temperature sensor is a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor (resistance
varies inversly with temperature). This means at
cold air temperature its resistance is high, sothe volt-
age signal will be high. As intake air temperature
increases, sensor resistance decreases and the signal
voltage will be low. This allows the sensor to provide
an analog voltage signal (0.2-4.8 volts) to the ECM.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove engine cover retaining bolts and cover-
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE COVER - REMOVAL).

CRANKSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor is mounted in the
right rear of the engine block below the turbocharger
(Fig. 7). This sensor is used to detect engine speed.
OPERATION
The crankshaft position sensor is a magnetic
pickup type sensor that generates an ac signal. The
sensor contains a permanent magent and a coil of
wire. The sensor generates an ac signal each time a
notch in the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft passesacross the permanent magnet. The ECM calculates
engine speed based on the frequency of the ac signal.
The ECM supplies the sensor ground.
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is mounted
inline in the air intake between the air filter and the
turbocharger (Fig. 8).

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Continued)

OPERATION
The ECM uses the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to
measure air density. The MAF sensor contains a
ceramic element. A signal voltage is provided to the
element. As engine speed increases, airflow across
the ceramic element increases. Changes in air flow
and air density cause the temperature of the ceramic
element to fluxuate. The ceramic element changes
resistance respectively to changes in temperature.
The change in resistance varies the signal voltage
output to the ECM. The diesel power relay supplies
battery power the to MAF sensor. Ground is provided
by the ECM. The MAF sensor signal is provided by
the ECM.

STEERING
DESCRIPTION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
This vehicle comes with power steering as stan-
dard equipment and it is the only steering system
available. The power steering system consists of
these major components:
²POWER STEERING PUMP
²POWER STEERING GEAR
²POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR
²POWER STEERING FLUID SUPPLY HOSE
²POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
²POWER STEERING FLUID RETURN HOSE
²POWER STEERING FLUID COOLER
For information on the first two components, refer
to their respective sections within this service man-
ual group. Information on all other components can
be found in POWER STEERING PUMP.
OPERATION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
Turning of the steering wheel is converted into linear
(side-to-side) travel through the meshing of the helical
pinion teeth with the rack teeth within the steering
gear. The lateral travel pushes and pulls the tie rods to
change the direction of the vehicle's front wheels.
Power assist steering is provided by a belt driven
rotary type pump. It directs fluid through power
steering fluid hoses to the power steering gear where
it is used to assist the driver's turning effort.
Manual steering control of the vehicle can be main-
tained if power steering assist is lost. However, under
this condition, steering effort is significantly increased.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER STEERING
SYSTEM FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST
ALL ENGINES
The following procedure is to be used to test the
operation of the power steering system on this vehi-
cle. This test will provide the flow rate of the power
steering pump along with the maximum relief pres-sure. This test is to be performed any time a power
steering system problem is present to determine if
the power steering pump or power steering gear is
not functioning properly. The following flow and pres-
sure test is performed using the Power Steering Ana-
lyzer Kit, Special Tool 6815 (Fig. 1), hoses, Special
Tools 6905 and 6959, and fittings from adapter kit,
Special Tool 6893.
Assemble hoses on Power Steering Analyzer, Spe-
cial Tool 6815, as shown. Install Pressure Hose, Spe-
cial Tool 6905 (in 6893 kit), in the inlet fitting on
Power Steering Analyzer. Install Pressure Hose, Spe-
cial Tool 6713 (in 6815 kit) on Pressure Hose, Special
Tool 6905. Install Pressure Hose, Special Tool 6959,
in the outlet fitting on Power Steering Analyzer.
Install the following adapters from Adapter Set,
Special Tool 6893 (Fig. 2), on the analyzer hose ends:
Install Adapter Fitting, Special Tool 6844, on Pres-
sure Hose, Special Tool 6713. Install Adapter Fitting,

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, safety gog-
gles should be worn at all times when performing
any test procedures on the power steering pump or
power steering gear.
The following procedure is to be used to test the
operation of the power steering system on the vehi-
cle.
(1) Check belt tension and adjust as necessary.
(2) Disconnect the power steering fluid pressure
hose from the power steering pump (Fig. 3) (Fig. 4).
(3) Connect Adapter Fitting, Special Tool 6844,
attached to pressure hose from inlet (gauge end) ofPower Steering Analyzer to the pressure fitting on
the power steering pump.
(4) Connect vehicle power steering fluid pressure
hose to Adapter Fitting, Special Tool 6826, which
should be already installed in the outlet hose (valve
end) of Power Steering Analyzer.
(5) Completely open valve on Power Steering Ana-
lyzer.
(6) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through the analyzer and
hoses, until the air is out of the fluid. Shut off
engine.
(7) Check power steering fluid level and add fluid
as necessary. Start engine again and let idle.
(8) Gauge should read below 862 kPa (125 psi). If
above, inspect the hoses for restrictions and repair as
necessary. The initial pressure should be in the range
of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi). The flow meter should
read between 1.3 and 1.9 GPM.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than five seconds as the pump could be
damaged.

NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 9,653 to 10,342 kPa (1,400 to 1,500 psi.).
(9) Close analyzer valve fully three times and
record highest pressure indicated each time. All three
readings must be above specifications and within 345
kPa (50 psi) of each other.
²If power steering pump pressures are above
specifications, but not within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other, replace pump.
²If power steering pump pressures are within 345
kPa (50 psi) of each other, but are below specifica-
tions, replace pump.
CAUTION: Do not force the pump to operate against
the stops for more than 2 to 4 seconds at a time
because, pump damage will result.
(10) Completely open the valve on the Power
Steering Analyzer. Turn the steering wheel to theextreme left until the stop in the steering gear is
met, then turn the steering wheel to the right until
the right stop is met. Record the highest indicated
pressure at each position. Compare the recorded
readings to the specifications. If the highest output
pressures are not the same against either stop, the
steering gear is leaking internally and must be
replaced.

NOTE: * There is some noise in all power steering
systems. One of the most common is a hissing
sound evident when turning the steering wheel
when at a standstill or when parking and the steer-
ing wheel is at the end of its travel. Hiss is a very
high frequency noise similar to that experienced
while slowly closing a water tap. The noise is
present in every valve and results when high veloc-ity fluid passes valve orifice edges. There is no
relationship between this noise and the perfor-
mance of the steering system.
NOTE: ** Power steering pump growl results from
the development of high pressure fluid flow. Nor-
mally this noise level should not be high enough to
be objectionable.
