*FUEL HEATER THERMOSTAT TEST
Diagnostic Test
1.FUEL HEATER THERMOSTAT TEST
To check the operating resistance levels on the thermostat and fuel heaterperform the following:
1. Unplug the wiring harness from the thermostat.
2. Check the resistance across the two pins of the thermostat with an Ohm meter.
3. The ambient temperature must be below the
Circuit close temperature; 1° +/- 3° Cto perform this check.
4. If necessary, induce this ambient temperature by placing ice packs on the thermostat to produce an
effective
ambient temperature
below the circuit close temperature.
5. The resistance across the two pins should be within the range of 0.3 Ohms to 0.45 Ohms for a properly operating
thermostat and heater.
6. If the resistance from step 2 is out of range, remove the thermostat and check the resistance across the terminal
connections of the heater (the heater can be checked at room temperatures).
7. The resistance across the terminal pins of the heater should be within the same range of step 2.
8. Replace the heater if resistance is not within the proper operation range.
9. Replace the heater if resistance is not within the proper operation range. Re-install the thermostat with a new
o-ring.
10. If the heater resistance is within the proper operating.
11. Circuit close temperature; 1° +/- 3° C
12. Circuit open temperature; 18° +/- 4° C
13. Fuel Heater Thermostat 0.3 - 0.45 Ohms at less than 1 degree C
14. Fuel Heater 0.3 - 0.45 Ohms at room temperature

*HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE TEST
Diagnostic Test
1.
If the engine will run do the following:
1. Monitor rail pressure with scan tool while the engine is at idle.
2. Compare the fuel pressure set point with the actual fuel pressure reading.
3. If actual fuel pressure reading fluctuates more than +/- 500 psi from theset point, then replace the Fuel Conrol
Actuator (FCA). NOTE: After the acutator is removed, check for debris or corrosion on the FCA. If debris or corro-
sion is found, replace the entire Fuel Injection Pump.
4. Turn off engine.
5. Disconnect the FCA harness
6. Disconnect high pressure fuel line from fuel rail and route the high pressure fuel line into a graduated cylinder.
7. Crank the engine until fuel exits this line. This will not be high pressurefuel.
8. Crank the engine for three (3) 10 second intervals (Note: This will give you 30 total seconds of flow time. These
are broken into 3 separate intervals to prevent damage to the starter). Fuel flow specification s based on engine
cranking speed. If you do not collect the stated amount of fuel in 30 seconds, replace the pump:
Minimum fuel pump flow at 150 rpm cranking speed is 70mL
Minimum fuel pump flow at 200 rpm cranking speed is 90mL
If the engine is a no start do the following:
1. Remove fuel pump to railhigh pressure fuel line.
2. Inspect the fuel pump outlet port for rust, debris, or other signs of contamination.
3. Replace pump if any contamination is found. Check for source of water in fuel or debris in fuel to prevent future
complaints. If no contamination is found continue to step 4.
4. Disconnect the Fuel Control Actuator (FCA).
5. Disconnect the high pressure fuel line from the fuel rail and route the high pressure fuel line to a graduated
cylinder.
6. Crank the engine until fuel exits this line. This will not be high pressurefuel.
7. Crank the engine for three (3) 10 seconds intervals.
NOTE: This will give you 30 total seconds of flow time. These are broken into3 separate intervals to pre-
vent damage to the starter.

U1403-IMPLAUSIBLE FUEL LEVEL SIGNAL RECEIVED
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Ignition on.
Set Condition:
The fuel volume message the ECM is receiving is implausible. The circuit iscontinuously monitored. One Trip
fault.
Possible Causes
CAN B OPEN OR SHORTED
CLUSTER MODULE
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
ECM
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Theory of Operation
The Totally Integrated Power Module isn’t receiving a fuel volume signal over CAN B from the Cluster Module. The
TIPM has to send the PCM a fuel volume signal over CAN C. The signal the TIPM sendsoverCANCisimplau-
sible.
