(1) Remove hose clamp and crankcase vent hose at
crankcase breather (Fig. 26). Remove crankcase
breather from gear cover. Breather threads into
cover.
(2) Remove injection pump nut and washer (Fig.
27). Locate keyway behind washer.
(3) Be sure keyway aligning fuel injection pump
shaft to injection pump gear is in proper position and
pump gear has not slipped on pump shaft.
The following steps will require removing timing
gear cover to gain access to timing gears. Refer to
Group 9, Engines for procedures.
(4) Use a T-type puller to separate injection pump
gear from pump shaft.
(5) Be sure keyway has been installed with arrow
pointed torearof pump (Fig. 28).
(6)Pump timing has been calibrated to pump
keyway. Be sure 3±digit number on pump key-
way (Fig. 28) matches 3±digit number on fuel
injection pump data plate. Plate is located on
side of injection pump (Fig. 29). Twenty±one dif-
ferent calibrated keyways/pumps are available.
(7) Verify timing marks on crank, cam and pump
are aligned (Fig. 30).
(8) Perform necessary gear alignment/repairs as
needed.
(9) Install crankcase breather to gear cover. Install
hose clamp and crankcase vent hose to breather (Fig.

The machined tapers on both injection pump
shaft and injection pump gear (Fig. 42) must be
absolutely dry, clean and free of any dirt or oil
film. This will ensure proper gear-to-shaft tight-
ening.
(5) Clean pump gear and pump shaft at machined
tapers (Fig. 42) with an evaporative type cleaner
such as brake cleaner.
Keyway Installation:
(6) The pump/gear keyway has an arrow and a
3±digit number stamped at top edge (Fig. 41). Posi-
tion keyway into pump shaft witharrow pointed to
rear of pump.Also be sure 3±digit number stamped
to top of keyway is same as 3±digit number stamped
to injection pump data plate (Fig. 43). If wrong key-
way is installed, a diagnostic trouble code may be
set.
(7) Position pump assembly to mounting flange on
gear cover while aligning injection pump shaft
through back of injection pump gear. When installing
pump, dowel (Fig. 42) on mounting flange must align
to hole in front of pump.(8) After pump is positioned flat to mounting
flange, install four pump mounting nuts and tighten
finger tight only. Do not attempt a final tightening at
this time.Do not attempt to tighten (pull) pump
to gear cover using mounting nuts. Damage to
pump or gear cover may occur. The pump must
be positioned flat to its mounting flange before
attempting to tighten mounting nuts.

tighten nuts/bolts in the following sequence:
(a) Install injection pump shaft washer and nut
to pump shaft. Tighten nutfinger tight only.
(b) Install 2 rear/lower pump mounting bolts
finger tight only.
(c) Do preliminary tightening of injection pump

nut to 170 N´m (125 ft. lbs.) torque. Use barring
tool to prevent engine from rotating when tighten-
ing gear.
(10) Install canister (Fig. 33) to gear cover.
(11) Install crankcase vent hose (Fig. 33) to canis-
ter and install hose clamp.

side of injection pump and top of fuel filter housing
(Fig. 32). Tighten banjo bolts to 24 N´m (18 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(14) Install all high-pressure fuel lines, intake air
tube, accelerator pedal position sensor, air intake
housing, engine oil dipstick tube, wiring clips, electri-
cal cables at intake heaters and engine lifting
bracket. Refer to High-Pressure Fuel Line Removal/
Installation. All of these items are covered in this
procedure.
(15) Connect 9±way electrical connector to Fuel
Pump Control Module (FPCM) (Fig. 31).

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL FUEL TANK
The fuel tank is similar to the tank used with gas-
oline powered models. The tank is equipped with a
separate fuel return line and a different fuel tank
module for diesel powered models. A fuel tank
mounted, electric fuel pump is not used with diesel
powered models. Refer to Fuel Tank Module for addi-
tional information.
For removal and installation procedures, refer to
Fuel Tank - Gasoline Engines.
FUEL TANK MODULE
DESCRIPTION
An electric fuel pump isnot usedin the fuel tank
module for diesel powered engines. Fuel is supplied
by the engine mounted fuel transfer pump and the
fuel injection pump.
The fuel tank module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank (Fig. 56). The fuel tank module (Fig. 56)
contains the following components:
²Fuel reservoir
²A separate in-tank fuel filter
²Rollover valve
²Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
²Fuel supply line connection
²Fuel return line connection
²Auxiliary non-pressurized fuel supply fitting

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is
installed into the rear of the intake manifold (Fig.
31) with the sensor element extending into the air
stream.
OPERATION - DIESEL
The IAT provides an input voltage to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) indicating intake manifold air
temperature. The input is used along with inputs
from other sensors for intake air heater element
operation, for engine protection, fuel timing and fuel
control. As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in
the manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes.
This results in a different input voltage to the ECM.

DESCRIPTION
The tilt and standard column (Fig. 1) has been
designed to be serviced as an assembly; less wiring,
switches, shrouds, steering wheel, etc. Most steering
column components can be serviced without remov-
ing the steering column from the vehicle.
OPERATION
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Safety goggles should be worn at all times when
working on steering columns.
To service the steering wheel, switches or the air-
bag, refer to the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS below.
WARNING: THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE,
COMPLEX ELECTRO-MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE, REMOVE OR INSTALL
THE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS YOU MUST
FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY
NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO
MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND
POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY. THE FASTENERS,
SCREWS, AND BOLTS, ORIGINALLY USED FOR
THE AIRBAG COMPONENTS, HAVE SPECIAL COAT-INGS AND ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY MUST NEVER BE
REPLACED WITH ANY SUBSTITUTES. ANYTIME A
NEW FASTENER IS NEEDED, REPLACE WITH THE
CORRECT FASTENERS PROVIDED IN THE SERVICE
PACKAGE OR FASTENERS LISTED IN THE PARTS
BOOKS.
CAUTION: Do not hammer on steering column shaft
or shift tube. This may cause the shaft/shift tube to
collapse or damage the bearing.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the pivot pins
to disassemble the tilting mechanism. Do not
remove shaft lock plate, plate retainer, park lock
link or slider. This will damage the column (Fig. 2)
and (Fig. 3).
REMOVAL
(1) Position the front wheels straight ahead.
(2) Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from
the battery.
(3) Remove the airbag, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG - REMOVAL).

KEY-IN IGNITION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The key-in ignition switch is integral to the igni-
tion switch, which is mounted on the left side of the
steering column. It closes a path to ground for the
Central Timer Module (CTM) when the ignition key
is inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the
driver door ajar switch is closed (driver door is open).
The key-in ignition switch opens the ground path
when the key is removed from the ignition lock cyl-
inder. The ground path is also opened when the
driver door ajar switch is open (driver door is closed).The key-in ignition switch cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the entire ignition switch must
be replaced, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/IG-
NITION SWITCH - REMOVAL).
