FUEL SYSTEM
14-93 There is a drain at the bottom of the separator fil­
ter (Fig. 13). Place a drain pan under the drain tube. With the engine not running, hold the drain open
until all water and contaminants have been removed and clean fuel exits the drain. Dispose of mixture in
drain pan according to applicable regulations.
If excess water gathers in separator/filter in a short

time,
the fuel tank must be removed, drained and cleaned.

HIGH
PRESSURE FUEL LINE RESTRICTIONS
High pressure fuel line leaks can cause starting
problems, poor engine performance and engine miss under load. Restricted high pressure lines can cause starting problems, poor engine performance, engine
miss under load and black smoke from exhaust.

Start the engine. Move the cardboard over the high
pressure fuel lines and check for fuel spray onto the cardboard. If a high pressure line connection is leak­
ing, bleed the system and tighten the connection. Re­
fer to the 5.9L Diesel Service Procedures section for air bleeding procedures. Replace damaged, restricted
or leaking high pressure fuel lines with the correct replacement line.

CAUTION:
The
high pressure
fuel
lines must
be

clamped securely
in
place
in the
holders.
The
lines cannot contact each other
or
other components.
Do
not
attempt
to

lines
or to

repair lines
that
are
damaged. Only
use the
recom­
mended lines when replacement
of
high pressure

line
is
necessary.

KSB
SOLENOID
The KSB solenoid will click when it is energized
and de-energized. If the solenoid does not click when 12 volts is sup­
plied to it, replace the solenoid.

MECHANICAL
LIFT
PUMP
An improperly operating lift pump can cause low
engine power. Inspect the fuel supply line to the
pump for restrictions, kinks or leaks. Fuel leaking
from the weep hole (Fig. 15) in the pump casing in­
dicates a leaking pump diaphragm. The lift pump is not repairable and must be replaced as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not
operate
the
fuel
system
with
a

suction restriction
of
more than
95 MM Hg (3.75
inch Hg). Refer
to
Lift
Pump Test.

Lift
Pump
Low lift pump output can be caused by a worn ec­
centric on the engine camshaft. A properly operating lift pump will pump a minimum volume of 0.75 liter (0.70 U.S. quart) of fuel in 30 seconds at engine
cranking speed.
The maximum allowable pressure drop across the
fuel filter is 21 Kpa (3 psi). As the filter removes contaminants in the fuel, the pressure drop across
the fuel separator filter will increase. Frequent re­
placement of the separator filter can indicate a worn lift pump. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule at the
front of this manual for recommended replacement intervals.

LIFT
PUMP
TEST
(1) Disconnect fuel inlet tube at the lift pump. (2) Install T-fitting between disconnected fitting
and lift pump inlet. Connect vacuum gauge to T-fit­
ting.

CLOTHING.

The vacuum gauge will not indicate a vacuum un­
til the lift pump begins to operate at full capacity.
(3) Operate engine at approximately 1500 rpm for
30 seconds. Vacuum should not exceed 12.7 kPa (3.75
in. Hg).
(4) If vacuum exceeds 12.7 kPa (3.75 in. Hg) check
fuel tube for restriction. A partially clogged in-tank fuel filter can also cause excess vacuum.

GENERAL
INFORMATION

Throughout this group, references are made
to
par­
ticular vehicle models
by
alphabetical designation
or

by the particular vehicle nameplate.
A
chart showing a breakdown
of
alphabetical designations
is
included
in
the
Introduction section
at
the
beginning
of
this
manual.
The 5.9L (V-8) gas powered engine will
be
referred
to
in
this group
as
either the: LDC (Light Duty Cy­ cle)
or
HDC (Heavy Duty Cycle) engine.
The
HDC
engine can
be
easily identified
by
the
use
of
an en­

gine mounted
air
injection pump. The 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L
LDC engine will not use
an
air
injection pump.
Maintenance requirements for LDC and HDC emis­
sion systems differ because
of
different load
and
op­
erating conditions. This section will cover emission control systems
for

the 3.9L (V-6), 5.2L (V-8), 5.9L LDC (V-8), 5.9L HDC (V-8) and 5.9L (in-line six cylinder) diesel engines.

SERVICE
REMINDER INDICATOR
(SRI)
LIGHT
The instrument panel mounted SRI light was for­
merly referred
to as the
emission maintenance
re­
minder (EMR) light.
It is
used with 5.9L HDC-gas
powered engines only.
It is
not
used with diesel
en­
gines.

The SRI system
is
incorporated into the powertrain
control module (PCM)
(the
PCM
was
formerly
re­

ferred
to as the
engine controller
or
SBEC).
The

PCM records
the
vehicles mileage and stores
it
into
memory every
8
miles. At that time, the PCM checks
for the 60,000 and 82,500 mileage trip points. When
the current mileage matches one
of
the above men­
tioned trip points,
the
SRI light
is
activated.
The following parts are
to
be replaced
at
either the
indicated mileage
or
when the SRI light remains
on

when the key
is in
the ON position. After performing
the required maintenance,
the
SRI light must
be
re­ set
to
turn the light
off.

96,000
km
(60,000 miles):
• Replace EGR Valve
• Clean EGR passage • Replace PCV Valve
132,000
km
(82,500 miles):
• Replace Oxygen Sensor
Refer
to
Group
0,
Lubrication and Maintenance
for

all required maintenance schedules.
Failure
to
perform
the
required maintenance
and

only reset the SRI light may be
a
violation of federal
law. Only after performing
the
required mainte­
nance, should the SRI light
be
reset.

VEHICLE
EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION
(VECI)
LABEL
All vehicles equipped with
a
gasoline powered
en­

gine have
a
VECI label. The 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L LDC-gas powered engine will
have
a
label that combines both emission control
in­

formation and vacuum hose routing.
