DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

OPERATION
Fuel is returned through the fuel pump module and back into the fuel tank through the fuel filter/fuel pressure reg-
ulator. A separate fuel return line from the engine to the tank is not used.
The fuel tank assembly consists of: the fuel tank, fuel pump module assembly, fuel pump module locknut/gasket,
and fuel tank check valve (refer to Fuel Tank Check Valve for information).
A fuel filler/vent tube assembly using apressure/vacuum,1/4 turn fuel filler cap is used. The fuel filler tube contains
a flap door located below the fuel fill cap.
Also to be considered part of the fuelsystem is the evaporation control system. This is designed to reduce the
emission of fuel vapors into the atmosphere. The description and functionof the Evaporative Control System is
found in Emission Control Systems.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for extended ser-
vice. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure
indicates to do so.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE
Use following procedure if the fuel injector rail is, or is not equipped with a fuel pressure test port.
1. Remove fuel fill cap.
2. Remove fuel pump relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). For location of relay, refer to label on underside
of PDC cover.
3. Start and run engine until it stalls.
4. Attempt restarting engine until it will no longer run.
5. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
CAUTION: Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be performed to relieve high pressure fuel from within fuel rail. Do not
attempt to use following steps to relieve this pressure as excessive fuel will be forced into a cylinder cham-
ber.
6. Unplug connector from any fuel injector.
7. Attach one end of a jumper wire with alligator clips (18 gauge or smaller)to either injector terminal.

8. Connect other end of jumper wire to positive side of battery.
9. Connect one end of a second jumper wire to remaining injector terminal.
CAUTION: Powering an injector for more than a few seconds will permanentlydamage the injector.
10. Momentarily touch other end of jumper wire to negative terminal of battery for no more than a few seconds.
11. Place a rag or towel below fuel line quick-connect fitting at fuel rail.
12. Disconnect quick-connect fitting at fuel rail. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
13. Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
14. One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) may have been stored in PCMmemory due to fuel pump relay
removal. The DRB
scantoolmustbeusedtoeraseaDTC.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DRAINING FUEL TANK - EXCEPT DIESEL
WARNING: The fuel system may be under constant fuel pressure even with the engine off. This pressure
must be released before servicing fuel tank.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel tank: through the fuel fill fitting on tank, or using a diagnostic
scan tool to activate the fuel pump relay. Due to a one-way check valve installed into the fuel fill opening fitting at
the tank, the tank cannot be drained conventionally at the fill cap.
The quickest draining procedure involves removing the rubber fuel fill hose at the fuel tank.
As an alternative procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated allowingtanktobedrainedatfuelrailcon-
nection. Refer to diagnostic scan tool for fuel pump activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure for procedures. Attach end of special
test hose tool number 6631 or 6539 at fuel rail disconnection (tool number 6631isusedon5/16”fuellineswhile
tool number 6539 is used on 3/8” fuel lines). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an approved gasoline drain-
ing station. Activate fuel pump and drain tank until empty.
If electric fuel pump is not operating, fuel must be drained through fuel fill fitting at tank. Refer to following proce-
dures.
1. Release fuel system pressure.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Thoroughly clean area around fuel fill fitting and rubber fuel fill hoseat tank.
4. If vehicle is equipped with 4 doors and a 6 foot (short) box, remove left-rear tire/wheel.
5. Loosen clamp and disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at tank fitting. Usingan approved gas holding tank, drain fuel
tank through this fitting.

FUEL FILTER/PRESSURE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
A combination fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator (3)
is used on all engines. It is located on the top of the
fuel pump module. A separate frame mounted fuel fil-
ter is not used with any engine.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and
within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for
extended service. They do not require normal sched-
uled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a
diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.
OPERATION
Fuel Pressure Regulator Operation:The pressure regulator is a mechanical device that is not controlled by
engine vacuum or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system operating pressure ofapproximately 58 ± 2 psi at the fuel injec-
tors. It contains a diaphragm, calibrated springs and a fuel return valve.The internal fuel filter is also part of the
assembly.
Fuel is supplied to the filter/regulator by the electric fuel pump throughan opening tube at the bottom of filter/reg-
ulator.
The regulator acts as a check valve to maintain some fuel pressure when the engine is not operating. This will help
to start the engine. A second check valve is located at the outlet end of the electric fuel pump.Refer to Fuel Pump
- Description and Operation for more information.
If fuel pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds approximately 60 psi, an internal diaphragm opens and excess
fuel pressure is routed back into the tank through the bottom of pressure regulator.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module and within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for extended ser-
vice. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure
indicates to do so.

SENSOR - FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The sending unit
consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card).
OPERATION
The fuel pump module has 4 different circuits (wires). Two of these circuits are used for the fuel gauge sending unit
for fuel gauge operation, and for certain OBD II emission requirements. The other 2 wires are used for electric fuel
pump operation.
For Fuel Gauge Operation:A constant current source is supplied to the resistor track on the fuel gauge sending
unit. This is fed directly from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).NOTE: For diagnostic purposes, this 12V
power source can only be verified with the circuit opened (fuel pump moduleelectrical connector
unplugged). With the connectors plugged, output voltages will vary from about 0.6 volts at FULL, to about
8.6 volts at EMPTY (about 8.6 volts at EMPTY for Jeep models, and about 7.0 volts at EMPTY for Dodge
Truck models).The resistor track is used to vary the voltage (resistance) depending on fuel tank float level. As fuel
level increases, the float and arm move up, which decreases voltage. As fuel level decreases, the float and arm
move down, which increases voltage. The varied voltage signal is returnedback to the PCM through the sensor
return circuit.
Both of the electrical circuits between the fuel gauge sending unit and thePCM are hard-wired (not multi-plexed).
After the voltage signal is sent from the resistor track, and back to the PCM, the PCM will interpret the resistance
(voltage) data and send a message across the multi-plex bus circuits to theinstrument panel cluster. Here it is
translated into the appropriate fuel gauge level reading. Refer to Instrument Panel for additional information.
For OBD II Emission Monitor Requirements:The PCM will monitor the voltage output sent from the resistor track
on the sending unit to indicate fuel level. The purpose of this feature is toprevent the OBD II system from recording/
setting false misfire and fuel systemmonitor diagnostic trouble codes. The feature is activated if the fuel level in the
tank is less than approximately 15 percent of its rated capacity. If equipped with a Leak Detection Pump (EVAP
system monitor), this feature will also be activated if the fuel level in the tank is more than approximately 85 percent
of its rated capacity.
REMOVAL
The fuel level sending unit (fuel level sensor) and float
assembly (7) is located on the side of the fuel pump
module.
1. Remove fuel pump module from fuel tank. Refer to
Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.
2. Disconnect 4–wire electrical connector (3) from fuel
pump module. Separate necessary sending unit
wiring from connector using terminal pick / removal
tool. Refer to Special Tools in 8W Wiring for tool
part numbers.

3. To remove sending unit from pump module, lift on
plastic locking tab whilesliding sending unit tracks.
INSTALLATION
1. Connect necessary wiring into electrical connectors. Connect 4–wire electrical connector to pump module.
2. Position sending unit to pump module. Slide and snap into place.
3. Install fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.

LINES, FUEL
DESCRIPTION
Also refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
WARNING: The fuel system may be under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before servicing
any fuel system hoses, fittings, lines, or most components, fuel system pressure must be released. Refer to
the fuel system pressure release procedure.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is due to the higher fuel
pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it isnecessary to replace these lines/tubes/
hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped:The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are ofa special rolled edge
construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only these rolled
edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other types of clamps may cutinto the hoses and cause high-
pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.

FITTING-QUICK CONNECT
DESCRIPTION
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to attach the various fuel system components, lines and tubes.
These are: a single-button type, a two-button type, a pinch type, a single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic
retainer ring type. Some are equipped with safety latch clips. Some may require the use of a special tool for dis-
connection and removal. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/QUICK CONNECT FITTING - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
CAUTION: Before separating a quick-connect fitting, pay attention to whattypeoffittingisbeingusedby
referring to Quick-Connect Fitting Removal. This will prevent unnecessary fitting or fitting latch breakage.
