OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The 3 wire, solid-state engine oil pressure sensor
(sending unit) is located in an engine oil pressure
gallery.
OPERATION
The oil pressure sensor uses three circuits. They
are:
²A 5 volt power supply from the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM)
²A sensor ground through the PCM's sensor
return
²A signal to the PCM relating to engine oil pres-
sure
The oil pressure sensor has a 3 wire electrical
function very much like the Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) sensor. Meaning different pressures
relate to different output voltages.
A 5 volt supply is sent to the sensor from the PCM
to power up the sensor. The sensor returns a voltage
signal back to the PCM relating to engine oil pres-
sure. This signal is then transferred (bussed) to theinstrument panel on either a CCD or PCI bus circuit
(depending on vehicle line) to operate the oil pressure
gauge and the check gauges lamp. Ground for the
sensor is provided by the PCM through a low-noise
sensor return.
REMOVAL

(12) Remove power steering pump.
(13) Remove accessory drive belt tensioner.
(14) Remove the crankshaft damper and speed
indicator ring (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE
BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER - REMOVAL).
(15) Lower the vehicle.
(16) Remove the gear cover-to-housing bolts and
gently pry the cover away from the housing, taking
care not to mar the gasket surfaces.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install a new front crankshaft oil seal.
(2) Obtain a seal pilot/installation tool from a
crankshaft front seal service kit and install the pilot
into the seal.
(3) Apply a bead of MopartSilicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant or equivalent to the gear housing cover.
Be sure to surround all through holes.(4) Using the seal pilot to align the cover (Fig.
123), install the cover to the housing and install the
bolts. Tighten the bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(5) Remove the seal pilot. Install front seal dust
shield.
(6) Raise the vehicle.
(7) Install the speed indicator ring and the crank-
shaft damper (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE
BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER - INSTALLATION).
(8) Lower vehicle.
(9) Install the fan support/hub assy, and tighten
bolts to 32 N´m (24 ft. lbs.) torque.
(10) Install power steering pump.
(11) Install accessory drive belt tensioner. Torque
bolt to 43 N´m (32 ft. lbs.) torque.
(12) Install the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
INSTALLATION).
(13) Install the cooling fan and shroud together
(Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN -
INSTALLATION).
(14) Install the windshield washer reservoir to the
fan shroud and connect the washer pump supply
hose and electrical connection.
(15) Install the coolant recovery bottle to the fan
shroud and connect the hose to the radiator filler
neck.
(16) Install the radiator upper hose and clamps.
(17) Add coolant (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE).
(18) Connect the battery cables.
(19) Start engine and inspect for leaks.

(2)Pre-lube the turbocharger.Pour 50 to 60 cc
(2 to 3 oz.) clean engine oil in the oil supply line fit-
ting. Carefully rotate the turbocharger impeller by
hand to distribute the oil thoroughly.
(3) Install and tighten the oil supply line to 24
N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Position the charge air cooler inlet pipe to the
turbocharger. With the clamp in position, tighten the
clamp nut to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Position the air inlet hose to the turbocharger
(Fig. 18). Tighten the clamp to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.)
torque.
(6) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(7) Using a new gasket, install the oil drain tube
to the turbocharger (Fig. 19). Tighten the drain tube
bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Tighten the oil drain tube clamps to 8 N´m (71
in. lbs.).
(9) Connect the exhaust pipe to the turbocharger
and tighten the bolts to 11.3 N´m (100 in. lbs.)
torque.
(10) Lower the vehicle.
(11) Connect the battery negative cables.
(12) Start the engine to check for leaks.
CHARGE AIR COOLER AND
PLUMBING
DESCRIPTION
The charge air system (Fig. 23) consists of the
charge air cooler piping, charge air cooler and intake
air grid heater.The charge air cooler is a heat exchanger that uses
air flow from vehicle motion to dissipate heat from
the intake air. As the turbocharger increases air
pressure, the air temperature increases. Lowering
the intake air temperature increases engine effi-
ciency and power.
OPERATION
Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressur-
ized air from the turbocharger then flows forward
through the charge air cooler located in front of the
radiator. From the charge air cooler the air flows
back into the intake manifold.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGE AIR
COOLER SYSTEM - LEAKS
Low turbocharger boost pressure and low engine
performance can be caused by leaks in the charge air
cooler or plumbing. Fuel staining on the exhaust
manifold can also be an indication that there are
leaks in the air system.The following procedure out-
lines how to check for leaks in the charge air cooler
system.
(1) Loosen clamp and remove air inlet hose from
turbocharger.
(2) Insert Special Tool 9022 Adapter into the tur-
bocharger inlet. Tighten tool clamp to 8 N´m (72 in.
lbs.).
