SENSOR-CRANKSHAFT POSITION
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) on the diesel engine is attached at thefront/leftsideoftheenginenextto
the engine harmonic balancer (crankshaft damper).
OPERATION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) (5) is the pri-
mary engine speed indicator for the engine after the
engine is running.
The CKP contains a hall effect device. A rotating,
notched target wheel (tonewheel) for the CKP is
located behind the engine harmonic balancer (2). This
hall effect device detects notches located on the tone-
wheel. As the tonewheel rotates, the notches pass the
tip of the CKP.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch passes
the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The interrup-
tion 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 CKP, the following occurs: The change of
the magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch
lowto0volts.
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) also provides a
signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) at all times
when the engine is running. The ECM uses this CMP
information primarily on engine start-up. Once the
engine is running, the ECM uses the CMP as a
backup sensor for engine speed.

REMOVAL

ACTUATOR - FUEL CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the rear
of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump (2).
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electronically controlled solenoidvalve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel
that enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing theFCA based on a demanded fuel pres-
sure. When the FCA is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied tothe fuel injection pump. Any fuel
that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve reg-
ulates 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 from the ON to the OFF position.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the cap srews and Fuel Control Actuator (FCA).
2. Twist and pull FCA to remove.
INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate the new Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) o-ring with clean oil before installation.
2. Turn the FCA in a clockwise direction while pressing it into the bore. Be sure that the FCA flange is flush with the
mounting surface on the Fuel Injection Pump.
3. Install the capscrews by hand.
4. Then tighten capscrews to 7Nm (62 in-lbs).

INJECTOR - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
Six individual, solenoid actuated high-pressure fuel
injectors are used. The injectors are vertically mounted
into a bored hole in the top of the cylinder head. This
bored hole is located between the intake/exhaust
valves.
High-pressure connectors, mounted into the side of the cylinder head, connect each fuel injector to each high-pres-
sure fuel line. The injector part number is laser-burned onto the injector. Failure to replace with the proper injector
will cause severe engine damage.

OPERATION
High-pressure fuel is supplied from the injection pump, through a high-pressure fuel line, into a fuel rail, through
high-pressure lines, through steel connectors and into the solenoid actuated fuel injector. The ECM actuates the
solenoid causing the needle valve to rise and fuel flows through the spray holes in the nozzle tip into the combus-
tion chamber.
Each fuel injector is connected to the fuel rail by a high-pressure fuel line and a steel connector. This steel con-
nector is positioned into the cylinder head and sealed with an O-ring. The connector is retained in the cylinder head
by a nut (fitting) that is threaded into the cylinder head.
The torquing force of this threaded nut (fitting) provides a sealing pressure between the fuel line connector and the
fuel injector.Retaining nut torque is very critical.If the nut (fitting) is under torqued, the mating surfaces will not
seal and a high-pressure fuel leak will result. If the fitting is over torqued, the connector and injector will deform and
also cause a high-pressure fuel leak. This leak will be inside the cylinderhead and will not be visible. The result will
be a possible fuel injector miss-fire and low power, or a no-start condition.
The fuel injectors use hole type nozzles. High-pressure flows into the side of the injector, the ECM activates the
solenoid causing the injector needle to lift and fuel to be injected. The clearances in the nozzle bore are extremely
small and any dirt or contaminants will cause the injector to stick. Because of this, it is very important to do a
thorough cleaning of any lines before opening up any fuel system component. Always cover or cap any open fuel
connections before a fuel system repair is performed.
Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge filter that is designedto break up small contaminants before
entering the fuel injector.The edge filters are not a substitute for proper cleaning and covering of allfuel
system components during repair.
The bottom of each fuel injector is sealed to the cylinder head with a1.5mmthick copper shim (gasket). The correct
thickness shim must always be re-installed after removing an injector.
Fuel pressure in the injector circuit decreases after injection. The injector needle valve is immediately closed and
fuel flow into the combustion chamber is stopped. Exhaust gases are prevented from entering the injector nozzle by
the needle valve.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Refer to Cleaning Fuel System Parts.
Six individual, solenoid actuated high-pressure fuel
injectors (7) are used. The injectors are vertically
mounted into a bored hole in the top of the cylinder
head. This bored hole is located between the intake/
exhaust valves. High-pressure connectors, mounted
into the side of the cylinder head, connect each fuel
injector to each high-pressure fuel line.
1. Disconnect both negative battery cables from both batteries. Cover andisolate ends of cables.
2. Remove vanity cover.
3. Remove breather assembly and tubes.
