MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
3.7L V-6
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the front of the intake manifold with 2
screws.
4.7L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the front of the intake manifold with 2
screws.
5.7L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted to the front of the intake manifold air ple-
num box.
5.9L V-8
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted to the front of the throttle body with 2
screws.
8.0L V-10
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is
mounted into the right side of the intake manifold.
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the com-
bustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at max-
imum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and
returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V
and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0±15
psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor,
it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is
provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit
at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contrib-
utor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important
function of the MAP sensor is to determine baromet-
ric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is
at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the airdensity changes with altitude. It will also help to cor-
rect for varying barometric pressure. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correla-
tion; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At
key-on, the PCM powers up and looks at MAP volt-
age, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the
current barometric pressure (relative to altitude).
Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and com-
pares the current voltage to what it was at key-on.
The difference between current voltage and what it
was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor
reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range
can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner
(less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a
very different altitude than where it was at key-on,
the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any
time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based
upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) angle and RPM,
it will update barometric pressure in the MAP mem-
ory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make
its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in cal-
culating the following:
²Manifold pressure
²Barometric pressure
²Engine load
²Injector pulse-width
²Spark-advance programs
²Shift-point strategies (certain automatic trans-
missions only)
²Idle speed
²Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single
piezoresistive element located in the center of a dia-
phragm. The element and diaphragm are both made
of silicone. As manifold pressure changes, the dia-
phragm moves causing the element to deflect, which
stresses the silicone. When silicone is exposed to
stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum
increases, the MAP sensor input voltage decreases
proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics
that condition the signal and provide temperature
compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pres-
sure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory
cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; meaning as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately.
The range of voltage output from the sensor is usu-
ally between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3
volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric pressure is the pres-
sure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At
sea level on a standard day, no storm, barometric

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM
PRIMING
A certain amount of air becomes trapped in the
fuel system when fuel system components on the
supply and/or high-pressure side are serviced or
replaced. Fuel system priming is accomplished using
the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump.
Servicing or replacing fuel system components usu-
ally will not require fuel system priming.
The fuel transfer (lift) pump is self-priming: When
the key is first turned on (without cranking engine),
the pump operates for approximately 2 seconds and
then shuts off. The pump will also operate for up to25 seconds after the starter is quickly engaged, and
then disengaged without allowing the engine to start.
The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and
the engine stops running.
(1) Turn key to CRANK position and quickly
release key to ON position before engine starts. This
will operate fuel transfer pump for approximately 25
seconds.
(2) If the engine does not start after 25 seconds,
turn key OFF. Repeat previous step until engine
starts.
(3) Fuel system priming is now completed.
(4) Attempt to start engine. If engine will not
start, proceed to following steps.When engine does
start, it may run erratically and be noisy for a
few minutes. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION: Do not engage the starter motor for more
than 30 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes
between cranking intervals.
(5) Perform previous fuel priming procedure steps
using fuel transfer pump. Be sure fuel is present at
fuel tank.
(6) Crank the engine for 30 seconds at a time to
allow fuel system to prime.
WARNING: THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP SUPPLIES
EXTREMELY HIGH FUEL PRESSURE TO EACH INDI-
VIDUAL INJECTOR THROUGH THE HIGH-PRES-
SURE LINES. FUEL UNDER THIS AMOUNT OF
PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. WEAR SAFETY GOG-
GLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
DO NOT LOOSEN FUEL FITTINGS WHILE ENGINE
IS RUNNING.
WARNING: ENGINE MAY START WHILE CRANKING

FUEL FILTER / WATER
SEPARATOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel filter/water separator assembly is located
on left side of engine above starter motor. The assem-
bly also includes the fuel heater and Water-In-Fuel
(WIF) sensor, and fuel transfer pump.
OPERATION
The fuel filter/water separator protects the fuel
injection pump by removing water and contaminants
from the fuel. The construction of the filter/separator
allows fuel to pass through it, but helps prevent
moisture (water) from doing so. Moisture collects at
the bottom of the canister.
Refer to the maintenance schedules for the recom-
mended fuel filter replacement intervals.
For draining of water from canister, refer to Fuel
Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation section.A Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is attached to side of
canister. Refer to Water-In-Fuel Sensor Description/
Operation.
The fuel heater is installed into the top of the fil-
ter/separator housing. Refer to Fuel Heater Descrip-
tion/Operation.
REMOVAL
Refer to maintenance schedules in this manual for
recommended fuel filter replacement intervals.
Draining water from fuel filter/water separa-
tor housing:
The housing drain valve (Fig. 3) or (Fig. 4) serves
two purposes. One is topartiallydrain filter hous-
ing of excess water. The other is tocompletelydrain
housing for fuel filter, drain valve, heater element, ,
water-in-fuel sensor replacement or transfer pump
replacement.
The filter housing should be partially drained
whenever water-in-fuel warning lamp remains illumi-
nated. (Note that lamp will be illuminated for
approximately two seconds when ignition key is ini-
tially placed in ON position for a bulb check).
(1) A drain hose (Fig. 3) or (Fig. 4) is located at
bottom of drain valve. Place drain pan under drain.
(2)With engine not running,rotate drain valve
handle rearward to OPEN (DRAIN) position. Hold
drain valve open until all water and contaminants
have been removed and clean fuel exits.
(3) If drain valve, fuel heater element or Water-In-
Fuel (WIF) sensor is being replaced, drain housing
completely. Dispose of mixture in drain pan according
to applicable regulations.
(4) After draining operation, push valve handle
forward to CLOSE position.

pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump is a low-pressure
pump and produce pressures ranging from 551.5 kpa
(80 psi) to 1241 kpa (180) psi. Fuel then enters the
fuel injection pump. Low pressure fuel is then sup-
plied to the FAC (Fuel Control Actuator).
The FAC is an electronically controlled solenoid
valve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel that
enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by open-
ing and closing the FAC based on a demanded fuel
pressure. The FPS (Fuel Pressure Sensor) on the fuel
rail provides the actual fuel pressure. When the
actuator is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is
being supplied to the fuel injection pump. Any fuel
that does not enter the injection pump is directed to
the overflow valve. The overflow valve regulates how
much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the pump
and how much is returned to the tank through the
drain manifold.
Fuel entering the injection pump is pressurized to
between 300 - 1600 bar by three radial pumping
chambers. The pressurized fuel is then supplied to
the fuel rail.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL INJECTION
PUMP TIMING
With the Bosch injection pump, there are no
mechanical adjustments needed or necessary to
accomplish fuel injection timing. All timing and fuel
adjustments are electrically made by the engine
mounted Engine Control Module (ECM).
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system com-
ponents. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines and fuel injection pump.
Very tight tolerances are used with these parts. Dirt
contamination could cause rapid part wear and pos-
sible plugging of fuel injector nozzle tip holes. This
in turn could lead to possible engine misfire.
Always wash/clean any fuel system component
thoroughly before disassembly and then air dry.
Cap or cover any open part after disassembly.
Before assembly, examine each part for dirt, grease
or other contaminants and clean if necessary. When
installing new parts, lubricate them with clean
engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP (Continued)
Page 1773 of 2895

OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply
(transfer) a low-pressure fuel source:fromthe fuel
tank,throughthe fuel filter/water separator andto
the fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is
raised to a high-pressure by the fuel injection pump
for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors.
Check valves within the pump, control direction of
fuel flow and prevent fuel bleed-back during engine
shut down.
Maximum current flow to the pump is 5 amperes.
With the engine running, the pump has a 100 per-
cent duty-cycle with a minimum pressure of 11.5 psi.
The transfer pump is self-priming: When the key is
first turned on (without cranking engine), the pump
will operate for approximately 1/2 second and then
shut off. The pump will also operate for up to 25 sec-
onds after the starter is engaged, and then disen-
gaged and the engine is not running. The pump
shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine
stops running.
The fuel volume of the transfer pump will always
provide more fuel than the fuel injection pump
requires. Excess fuel is returned from the injection
pump through an overflow valve, and then back to
the fuel tank.
REMOVAL
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is attached
to the rear of the fuel filter/water separator housing
(Fig. 25).
(1) Drain fuel from fuel filter housing. Refer to
Fuel Filter/Water Separator - Removal. See Draining.
(2) Disconnect electrical connector (Fig. 25) from
fuel transfer pump.
(3) Disconnect fuel tank supply line from fuel
transfer pump extension line. Do this at disconnec-
tion point at inside of left inner frame rail (Fig. 26).
Refer to quick-connect fittings for procedures.The
fuel line extension is permanently attached to
the transfer pump. Do not attempt to discon-
nect fuel line at transfer pump.
(4) Remove 4 pump mounting bolts (hex-allen),
and remove pump from fuel filter housing.
(5) Confirm that transfer pump o-ring is also
removed from fuel filter housing.

CASCADE OVERFLOW VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The cascade overflow valve is located on the top/
rear side of the fuel injection pump (Fig. 27).
OPERATION
When the fuel control actuator (FCA) is opened,
the maximum amount of fuel is being delivered to
the fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does not enter
the injection pump is directed to the cascade overflow
valve. The cascade valve regulates how much excess
fuel is used for lubrication of the injection pump, and
is also used to route excess fuel through the drain
circuit and back into the fuel tank.

Page 1775 of 2895

OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/
water separator. As the water level in the filter/sep-
arator increases, the resistance across the WIF
sensor decreases. This decrease in resistance is sent
as a signal to the ECM and compared to a high
water standard value. Once the value reaches 30 to
40 kilohms, the ECM will activate the water-in-fuel
warning lamp through CCD bus circuits. This all
takes place when the ignition key is initially put in
the ON position. The ECM continues to monitor the
input at the end of the intake manifold air heater
post-heat cycle.
REMOVAL
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is located at the
side of fuel filter/water separator canister. Refer to
Fuel Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation for
WIF sensor removal/installation procedures.
FUEL DRAIN CIRCUIT
OPERATION
The Fuel Drain Circuit incorporates several
sources of fuel return. Fuel travels from the fuel tank
to the fuel transfer pump and is forced through the
fuel filter. A portion of that fuel travels through the
fuel filter and into the fuel injection pump, while the
rest of the fuel flows through a passage in the fuel
filter housing. It then goes to a fuel drain line and
returns back to the fuel tank.
The fuel that flows to the fuel pump is pressurized
and sent into a passage in the fuel pump. At this
point the fuel is channeled into two passages. One
passage sends fuel to the FCA (Fuel Control Actua-
tor). The other passage sends fuel to the cascade
overflow valve. The overflow valve sends some fuel to
a lubrication passage. The rest of the fuel is sent to a
drain passage which connects to an external fuel
line. This fuel line is connected to the same fuel filter
housing passage that the fuel transfer pump is con-
nected to.
Fuel that travels through the FCA is pressurized
by the fuel injection pump and sent through an
external high pressure fuel line to the fuel rail. At
the fuel rail, fuel is sent to the fuel injectors. If fuel
pressure in the fuel rail becomes excessive, the pres-
sure limiting valve opens and sends fuel through an
external fuel line. This line is connected to the fuel
filter housing at the fuel pump drain.
At the fuel injector, fuel that is not injected is used
for lubrication of the fuel injectors. This fuel then
travels through an internal passage in the rear of the
cylinder head, an then into an external fuel line. This
line is connected to the vehicles fuel return line, and
returns excess fuel back to the fuel tank.

SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L
diesel engine is located below the fuel injection
pump. It is bolted to the back of the timing gear
cover.
OPERATION
The diesel Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) con-
tains a hall effect device. A rotating target wheel
(tonewheel) for the CMP is located on the front tim-
ing gear. This hall effect device detects notches
located on the tonewheel. As the tonewheel rotates,
the notches pass the tip of the CMP.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch
passes the tip of the CMP, the following occurs: The
interruption of magnetic field causes the voltage to
switch high resulting in a signal of approximately 5
volts.
When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch
passes the tip of the CMP, the following occurs: The
change of the magnetic field causes the signal voltage
to switch low to 0 volts.

FUEL CONTROL ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the
rear of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump.
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electroni-
cally controlled solenoid valve. The ECM controls the
amount of fuel that enters the high-pressure pumping
chambers by opening and closing the FCA based on a
demanded fuel pressure. When the FCA is opened,
the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied to the
fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does not enter the
injection pump is directed to the overflow valve. The
overflow valve regulates how much excess fuel is used
for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned
to the fuel tank through the drain manifold.
An audible click from the FCA is normal when
operating the key to either the ON or OFF positions.
REMOVAL
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the
rear of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump (Fig. 13).
(1) Clean FCA mounting area at rear of fuel injec-
tion pump with an evaporative-type cleaner.
(2) Disconnect electrical connector at FCA.
(3) Remove 2 FCA mounting bolts.
(4) Remove FCA from injection pump.
(5) After removal, inspect FCA for corrosion or
damage. Shake the FCA and listen for a rattle. If
FCA does not rattle, replace it.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install new o-rings to the Fuel Control Actua-
tor (FCA).
(2) Lubricate o-rings with clean, light grease.
(3) Using new mounting bolts, install FCA into
injection pump. Tighten the micro-encapsulated bolts
in two stages. First to 3 N´m (27 in. lbs.), and then to
7 N´m (62 in. lbs.) torque. Do not pause more than
two minutes between tightening stages as bolts may
lose their ability to retain torque.
(4) Ensure FCA is mounted flush to injection
pump.
(5) Connect electrical connector to FCA.
(6) Start engine and observe for leaks.
FUEL INJECTOR
