If a high-pressure line connection is leaking, coun-
terhold and tighten the connection to specification
then perform this procedure again (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Replace any damaged, restricted or leaking high-
pressure fuel lines with the correct replacement
line.
CAUTION: The high-pressure fuel lines cannot con-
tact each other or other components. Do not
attempt to weld high-pressure fuel lines or to repair
lines that are damaged. Only use the recommended
lines when replacement of high-pressure fuel line is
necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR IN FUEL SYS-
TEM
Air will enter the fuel system whenever fuel supply
lines, separator filters, injection pump, high-pressure
lines or injectors are removed or disconnected. Air
trapped in the fuel system can result in hard start-
ing, a rough running engine, engine misfire, low
power, excessive smoke and fuel knock.
Inspect the fuel system from the fuel tank to the
injectors for loose connections (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM - WARNING). Leaking fuel is an indicator
of loose connections or defective seals. Air can also
enter the fuel system between the fuel tank and the
fuel pump. Inspect the fuel tank module and fuel
lines for damage that might allow air into the sys-
tem.With the DRBIIItconnected to the vehicle, select
Engine and the select Sensor Display. Page down to
view Fuel Pressure Set Point and Actual Fuel Pres-
sure. Start the engine and observe the Fuel Pressure
Set Point and the Actual Fuel Pressure. If the Actual
Fuel Pressure Oscillates above and below the Fuel
Pressure Set Point in a regular cycle, inspect the fuel
system for air intrusion.
If the Actual Fuel Pressure gradually drops below
the Fuel Pressure Set Point then spikes well above
the Fuel Pressure Set Point, replace the fuel pres-
sure soleniod (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL
INJECTION/FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID -
REMOVAL), and recheck.

SYSTEM WARNING BEFORE BEGINNING SERVICE
(Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM - WARNING).
CRANKING TEST
NOTE: If an injector is found to be out of specifica-
tion, repeat this test procedure after the injector
replacement. Hydraulic flow will take the path of
least resistance and multiple failures may be identi-
fied.
Perform this test with the engine at operating tem-
perature, when possible. This test will assist in
determining a defective or internally leaking injec-
tor(s) is present by measuring the amount of fuel
return.
(1) Turn the ignition off.
(2) Remove the engine cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE
- REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect the fuel return hoses at the top of
the injectors.
(4) Pinch off the fuel return line at the banjo bolt
fitting of the fuel rail.
(5) Disconnect the fuel rail solenoid and camshaft
position sensor.
(6) Install the test vials onto the injectors and
secure with the return hose clips (Fig. 2).

retest.
RUNNING TEST
NOTE: If an injector is found to be out of specifica-
tion, repeat this test procedure after the injector
replacement. Hydraulic flow will take the path of
least resistance and multiple failures may be identi-
fied. Engine temperature must be above 80É C
(176ÉF) to perform the running test.
Perform this test with the engine at operating tem-
perature. This test will assist in determining a defec-
tive or internally leaking injector(s) is present by
measuring the amount of fuel return.
(1) Turn the ignition off.
(2) Remove the engine cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE
- REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect the fuel return hoses at the top of
the injectors.
(4) Pinch off the fuel return line at the banjo bolt
fitting of the fuel rail.
(5) Install the test vials onto the injectors and
secure with the return hose clips (Fig. 2).
(6) Connect a scan tool, select from Main Menu,
System Select, Engine, System Tests, Fuel Quantity
Test, Engine Running Test and follow the screen.

tion lines (40 ml) of the large test vial may bereached. If the level has exceeded the five graduation
line, replace that affected cylinder's injector, clear the
memory using the scan tool, empty the test vials, and
retest.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURES - CLEANING FUEL
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system com-
ponents. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, and fuel injection
pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these
parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part
wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle
tip holes. This in turn could lead to possible engine
misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system compo-
nent thoroughly before disassembly and then air
dry. DO NOT wire brush injector nozzles when
cleaning. Cap or cover any open part after disas-
sembly. Before assembly, examine each part for
dirt, grease or other contaminants and clean if nec-
essary. When installing new parts, lubricate them
with clean engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.
STANDARD PROCEDURES - DRAINING WATER
FROM FUEL FILTER
Connect a hose to the Water in Fuel (WIF) drain
and place it in a clearly marked and suitable con-
tainer. Open the WIF drain by turning counterclock-
wise (Fig. 3). Turn the ignition key on for 20 seconds
(Refer to low pressure fuel pump operation). Repeat
the procedure until all water is removed, close the
drain and remove the hose.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - LOW PRESSURE
FUEL PUMP TEST
NOTE: Assure fuel tank quantity and proper fuel
gauge operation. Assure that the fuel pump fuse or
relay is not open. Capture any fuel spillage and
store in appropriately marked containers.
NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position the fuel pump will begin to run for 20±30
seconds and then it stops.
The low pressure pump draws fuel out of the fuel
tank module and pushes the fuel towards the fuel fil-
ter. If the pressure reading is below specification,
look for damaged or leaking fuel lines or a restricted
fuel filter. If no problem is found with the fuel sys-
tem replace the low pressure fuel pump.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Connect a fuel gauge to the low pressure fuel
supply to the high pressure pump (Fig. 4).(3) Connect negative battery cable.
(4) Turn the ignition to the ON position and
observe the fuel gauge reading (Fig. 5).
(5) The fuel pressure should be 4.0 to 4.5 bar (58 -
65 psi) If the fuel pressure is below specification,

FUEL DELIVERY
DESCRIPTION
Fuel is collected in the fuel tank. The fuel is drawn
in by the fuel pump module in the tank and distrib-
uted to the fuel filter and onto the high pressure fuel
pump. From there the fuel is distributed onto the
fuel rail and then to the various injectors. Any fuel
not needed flows back to the fuel tank through the
cooler lines and mixes with the cool fuel in the fuel
pump module bowl to be used again (Fig. 1).
14 - 6 FUEL DELIVERYVA

OPERATION
There are several modes of operation for the Com-
mon Rail Diesel Injection System.
Pre-injection The purpose of the pre-injection func-
tion is to reduce noise and pollutants. The coolant
temperature, charge air temperature and atmo-
spheric pressure are use to correct the quantity of
pilot injection. The quantity of pilot injection now
determined is deducted from the quantity of main
injection in order to establish whether sufficient
quantity is available for the following main injection.
The rail pressure is chosen sufficiently high so that
a minimum quantity is injected. If the quantity of
main injection is too small the pilot injection is
switched off by the ECM.
The start of actuation of pilot injection is calcu-
lated dependent on operating point, the following
data being taken into account:
Shutting Off Pre-injection The pre-injection is shut
off when:
²The moment of pre-injection is exceeded
²Engine speed too high
²Pre-injected quantity too low
²Main injected quantity too low²Insufficient fuel rail pressure
²Engine is switched off
Calculating Pre-injection Quantity The pre-injec-
tion quantity is calculated on the basis of:
²Engine speed
²Atmospheric pressure
²Coolant temperature
²Boost air temperature
²Fuel rail pressure
Main Injection The purpose of main injection func-
tion is to enable the injection time and injection
period calculated by the ECM. The injection quantity
required by the engine is divided into the per-injec-
tion and main injection quantity. If the main injec-
tion quantity computed by the ECM is too small, no
pre-injection takes place.
Start of Actuation
The start of actuation of main injection is depen-
dent on engine speed and quantity. In addition, it is
corrected depending on the following values:
²Coolant temperature
²Boost air temperature
²Atmospheric pressure
²Pre-injection corrected YES/NO

(4) Fill fuel tank with fresh diesel fuel.
(5) Drain and remove the fuel filter. (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL FILTER /
WATER SEPARATOR - REMOVAL)
(6) Install a new fuel filter. (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL FILTER / WATER
SEPARATOR - INSTALLATION)
(7) Check the engine control module for any diag-
nostic trouble codes (DTCs). Record and clear any
DTCs that are present.
(8) Start and run the engine. Run the engine for
up to 15 minutes to allow time for any DTCs to reset
and shut off the engine.
(9) Check the engine control module for any diag-
nostic trouble codes (DTCs). Record any DTCs that
are present. Refer to the appropriate engine electrical
diagnostics to diagnose any DTCs that were set.
CAUTION: With the high pressure fuel system in
this vehicle, any residual contaminated fuel will be
removed very quickly. Shut off the engine immedi-
ately if signs of engine damage are noted.The engine should then be evaluated to determine
if the contaminated fuel has caused any damage to
the fuel system and/or engine. Indicators that the
fuel system has been damaged include the following:
²Unstable fuel rail pressure. This can manifest
itself as instability of idle speeds, excessive under-
shoot/overshoot at engine start-up, or excessive
undershoot/overshoot when the engine operating con-
ditions change. A typical engine response to a large
rail pressure undershoot would be a decrease in
engine speed or engine stall.
²Excessive noise from the engine. This could indi-
cate poor rail pressure control or the inability of the
injection system to inject the proper amount of fuel.
²Excessive smoke (black or white). This could
indicate the inability of the fuel system to inject the
proper amount of fuel.
NOTE: If any of these conditions are exhibited after
cleaning the fuel system, proceed to the appropri-
ate engine electrical diagnostic information. Repair
the fuel system and/or engine as necessary.
