(1) Operate the engine until the water tempera­
ture reaches 60°C (140°F). Shut the engine off.
(2) Use a container that can hold at least 14 liters
(15 quarts) to hold the used oil. Remove the oil drain
plug and drain the used engine oil into the container.
(3) Always check the condition of the used oil. This
can give you an indication of some engine problems
that might exist. • Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
• Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.
(4) Clean the area around the lubricating oil filter
head. Remove the filter using a 90-95 mm filter
wrench.
(5) Clean the gasket surface of the filter head. The
filter canister O-Ring seal can stick on the filter
head. Make sure it is removed.
INSTALLATION (1) Fill the oil filter element with clean oil before
installation. Use the same type oil that will be used
in the engine.
(2) Apply a light film of lubricating oil to the seal­
ing surface before installing the filter.

CAUTION:
Mechanical over-tightening
may
distort
the threads
or
damage
the filter
element seal.

(3) Install the filter as specified by the filter man­
ufacturer. (4) Clean the drain plug and the sealing surface of
the pan. Check the condition of the threads and seal­ ing surface on the oil pan and drain plug.
(5) Install the drain plug using a new sealing washer.
Tighten the plug to 80 N-m (60 ft. lbs.) torque.

increased engine load from the A/C compressor.
By switching the ground path for the relay on and
off, the PCM is able to cycle the A/C compressor
clutch. This is based on changes in engine operating
conditions. If, during A/C operation, the PCM senses
low idle speeds or a wide open throttle condition, it
will de-energize the relay. This prevents A/C clutch engagement. The relay will remain de-energized un­
til the idle speed increases or the wide open throttle condition exceeds 15 seconds or no longer exists. The
PCM will also de-energize the relay if coolant tem­
perature exceeds 125°C (257°F).

provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle plate is closed). The IAC motor pintle protrudes into the
air control passage (Fig. 14) and regulates air flow
through it. Based on various sensor inputs, the pow­
ertrain control module (PCM) adjusts engine idle speed by moving the IAC motor pintle in and out of
the air control passage. The IAC motor is positioned
when the ignition key is turned to the On position.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani­

AUTO SHUT DOWN (ASD) RELAY—PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay is located in the engine compart­
ment (Fig. 12). The ASD supplies battery voltage to the fuel pump,
fuel injector, ignition coil, generator field winding and oxygen (02) sensor(s) heating element. The
ground circuit for the coil in the ASD relay is con­
trolled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM operates the relay by switching the ground cir­
cuit on and off. The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM
through same circuit that the ASD relay is con­ trolled.
GENERATOR FIELD-PCM OUTPUT

The powertrain control module (PCM) regulates
the charging system voltage within a range of 12.9 to 15.0 volts. Refer to Group 8A for charging system in­
formation.

GENERATOR LAMP-PCM OUTPUT
If the powertrain control module (PCM) senses a
low charging condition in the charging system, it
will illuminate the generator lamp on the instrument
panel. For example, during low idle with all accesso­
ries turned on, the light may momentarily go on. Once the PCM corrects idle speed to a higher rpm,
the light will go out. Refer to Group 8A for charging system information.

KSB
SOLENOID
The KSB solenoid is not an output of the PCM. The
solenoid is located on the injector pump (Fig. 22). It
contains a valve that controls venting of the injection
pump internal pressure regulator. When voltage is supplied to the solenoid, it closes off the vent circuit
in the injection pump. When the vent circuit is closed
off, internal pump pressure increases and injection
timing advances. The KSB solenoid allows the injec­
tion pump timing to reach full advance sooner. When the KSB solenoid is energized, internal
pump pressure reaches 8 bars (116 psi). When the so­ lenoid is not energized, internal pump pressure should be approximately 4 bars (58 psi). The KSB solenoid circuit contains an air tempera­
ture switch. Battery voltage is supplied to the sole­
noid through the ignition switch. The air temperature switch is mounted on the in­
take manifold next to the charge air temperature sensor (Fig. 23). The air temperature switch is open at or above 32°C (90°F).

High pressure fuel lines deliver fuel under pressure
of approximately 59,000 kPa (8,000 psi) from the in­
jection pump to the fuel injectors. The lines expand and contract from the high pressure fuel pulses gen­
erated during the injection process. All high pressure
fuel lines are of the same length and inside diameter. Correct high pressure fuel line usage and installation
is critical to smooth engine operation.

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

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.

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.

UNIVERSAL
JOINTS
The front prop shaft uses the 7260 series universal
joint. The rear prop shaft uses the 7290 series uni­ versal joint on all but the Dana 70 axle. The 1410 se­
ries is used with the Dana 70 axle. Two different types of universal joints systems are
used:
• Single cardan universal joint (Fig. 2)
• Double cardan universal joint (Fig. 3)

LUBRICATION
The slip yoke on the front shaft is equipped with a
zerk type lubrication fitting. Use a multi-purpose NLGI Grade 2 EP lubricant. Refer to Group 0, Lubri­
cation and Maintenance for additional information.
The factory installed U-joints are lubricated for the life of the vehicle and do not need re-lubrication. All
