light FORD SUPER DUTY 2009 2.G Diesel Supplement Manual

•On F-Super Duty vehicles (6.4L engine),a frame-mounted
Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM)
•an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter
•a unit injector for each cylinder
The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which
removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine mounted
filter filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The engine-mounted
fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the
recommended service interval. Refer to thescheduled maintenance
informationin this supplement for more information.
F-Super Duty
E-Series
The FCM/HFCM should be drained at regular intervals or when the
WATER IN FUEL light illuminates in the instrument cluster.
The fuel injectors are located in the center of the combustion chambers
in the cylinder head between the rocker arm assemblies. The glow plug
system and fuel injection system are controlled through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) (6.0L
engine only).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump.
The fuel pump provides pressurized fuel to the engine and is
electronically controlled by the fuel pump PCM relay. The fuel pump
contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event
of restricted flow.
Engine protection mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission
control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and
pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These features are
intended to modify engine performance characteristics. If these modified
engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period or the
service engine soon (
) or powertrain malfunction/reduced
power/electronic throttle control light (
) is illuminated, seek service
from your authorized dealer.

Glow plug pre-heat indicator:
With the key in the on position,
the
light will illuminate if glow
plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait until the light goes off
before starting. Refer toCold weather startingin theDrivingchapter
of this supplement. After the engine starts, the light should turn on. The
light should always illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is
cold and the ignition is turned to on. If it does not illuminate, the glow
plug system should be checked and repaired promptly to avoid difficulty
in cold starting.
Water in fuel:
E-Series
F-Super Duty
During refueling, it is possible for water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your tank. Your vehicle’s fuel system is equipped with a fuel
filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The WATER IN
FUEL light will illuminate when the ignition is turned to start (as part of
the light function check) and when the FCM/HFCM has a significant
quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the FCM/HFCM.
Refer toDraining the FCM/HFCM and changing the fuel filtersin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
WARNING:Do not drain the water separator while the engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the
engine is running or the vehicle is moving.

•The timer can be reset by changing the position of the accelerator
pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the final 30 seconds.
•When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and the message
center will displayENGINE TURNED OFF.
•One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system will
simulate key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position,
initiating normal accessory delay period.
•The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system
before restarting the vehicle.
Note:The engine idle shutdown idle timer will not start if:
•The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode.
•The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C).
•The exhaust emission control device (DPF) is regenerating.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
On E-Series vehicles,
to prolong engine life (after extended high speed
or maximum GVW operation), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled
for 7–10 minutes which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down.
On F-Super Duty vehicles,to prolong engine life (especially after
extended high speed, high ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW
operation), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for 3-5 minutes
which will allow the turbocharged engine to cool down.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Changing to a lighter grade engine oil also makes starting easier under
these conditions. Refer toEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance
and Specificationschapter of this supplement.
At temperatures below 20°F (–7°C), number 2–D diesel fuel may thicken
enough to clog the fuel filter. Your vehicle is equipped with either an
FCM (E-Series) or an HFCM (F-Super Duty) which acts as a fuel
filter/water separator to keep the wax melted which will help prevent
fuel filter clogging. However, if the engine starts but stalls after a short
time and will not restart, the fuel filter(s) may be clogged. For best
results in cold weather, use Number 1–D diesel fuel or “winterized”
Number 2–D diesel fuel which has an additive to minimize wax
formation. If you have problems operating on biodiesel during cold
weather, you may need to use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel content,
try another brand, or discontinue the use of biodiesel.

ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser (ZC-20) on all parts
that require cleaning and pressure rinse clean.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services in thescheduled maintenance
informationof this supplement are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle.
Use only recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS
REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES)
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D
or 2-D diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) in your 6.4L diesel
engine.The engine and exhaust system were designed to only use this
fuel. Look for theULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL
(15 ppm Sulfur Maximum)label on fuel pumps when purchasing your
fuel.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel
fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a 6.4L diesel engine designed to
use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel will cause certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the Service
Engine Soon(
)light to illuminate indicating an
emissions-related concern.
Number 1-D or winter blend number 2-D fuel is recommended at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C) (seeCold weather operationin the
Drivingchapter of this supplement).
