DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL INSPECTIONÐSOHC
Before diagnosing or servicing the fuel injection
system, perform a visual inspection for loose, discon-
nected, or misrouted wires and hoses. A thorough
visual inspection that includes the following checks
saves unnecessary test and diagnostic time.
(1) Inspect the battery connections. Clean corroded
terminals.
(2) Check the 2 PCM 40-way connector for
stretched wires on pushed out terminals
(3) Open the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Check for blown fuses. Ensure the relays and fuses
are fully seated in the PDC. A label on the underside
of the PDC cover shows the locations of each relay
and fuse.
(4) Verify the throttle cable operates freely.
(5) Check the electrical connections at the idle air
control motor and throttle position sensor.
(6) Check hose connections between the PCV
valve, vacuum port - intake manifold and the oil sep-
arator (Fig. 13).
(7) Inspect the electrical connections at the MAP
sensor/intake air temperature sensor and the (Fig.
14).
(8) Inspect the fuel injector electrical connections
(Fig. 15).
(9) Inspect the ignition coil electrical connector.
Ensure the spark plug insulators are firmly seated
over the spark plugs (Fig. 16).
(10) Check the electrical connection to the radiator
fan.
(11) Inspect for corrosion on the electrical connec-
tions at the starter motor solenoid. Check the ground
cable connection below the starter motor (Fig. 17).
(12) Inspect the air cleaner filter element. Replace
as necessary. Check the air induction system for
restrictions.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
(13) Check the electrical connection at the knock
sensor (Fig. 18).
(14) Check the electrical connections at the cam-
shaft position sensor and engine coolant temperature
sensor (Fig. 19).
(15) Check the electrical connector at the Elec-
tronic EGR Transducer. Inspect the vacuum and back
pressure hoses at the solenoid and transducer for
leaks (Fig. 20).
(16) Inspect the electrical connections at the gen-
erator (Fig. 21). Check the generator belt for glazing
or damage.(17) Inspect the electrical connector at the crank-
shaft position sensor (Fig. 22).
(18) Check the electrical connection at the vehicle
speed sensor (Fig. 23).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
In this chart, Pre±Heat and Post±Heat times are
mentioned. Pre±heat is the amount of time the glow
plug relay circuit is activated when the ignition (key)
switch is ON, but the engine has yet to be started.
Post±heat is the amount of time the glow plug relay
circuit is activated after the engine is operating. The
Glow Plug lamp will not be illuminated during the
post±heat cycle.
TESTING:
Disconnect and isolate the electrical connectors
(Fig. 16) at all four glow plugs. With the engine cool
or cold, and the key in the ON position, check for
10±12 volts + at each electrical connector. 10±12 volts
+ should be at each connector whenever the PCM is
operating in the pre±heat or post±heat cycles (refer
to the following Glow Plug Control chart).Be very
careful not to allow any of the four discon-
nected glow plug electrical connectors to con-
tact a metal surface. When the key is turned to
the ON position, approximately 100 amps at 12
volts is supplied to these connectors.If 10±12
volts + is not available at each connector, check con-
tinuity of wiring harness directly to the relay. If con-
tinuity is good directly to the relay, the fault is either
with the relay or the relay input from the PCM. To
test the relay only, refer to RelaysÐOperation/Test-
ing in this section of the group. If the relay test is
good, refer to the DRB scan tool.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes:Refer to On-Board
Diagnostics in Group 25, Emission Control System
for a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for cer-
tain fuel system components.
RELAYSÐOPERATION/TESTING
The following description of operation and
tests apply only to the Diesel PCM and other
relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay
are numbered (Fig. 17).
OPERATION
²Terminal number 30 is connected to battery volt-
age. For both the Diesel and other relays, terminal
30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
²The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay
through terminal number 85.
²Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil
side of the relay.
²When the PCM de-energizes the Diesel PCM
and other relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the Off position. In the off posi-
tion, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the circuit.
Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
Power steering pump growl results from the development of high pressure fluid flow. Normally this noise
should not be high enough to be objectionable. Abnormal situations, such as a low oil level causing
aeration or hose touching the vehicle body, can create a noise level that could bring complaints.
WHINE OR GROWL (PUMP
NOISE)1. Low fluid level. 1. Fill power steering fluid
reservoir to proper level and
perform leakage diagnosis.
(Recheck fluid level after power
steering fluid is free of air.)
2. Power steering hose touching
vehicle body or frame.2. Reposition power steering
hose. Replace hose if tube ends
are bent.
3. Extreme wear of power
steering pump internal parts.3. Replace power steering pump
and flush system.
SUCKING AIR SOUND 1. Loose clamp on power steering
fluid low pressure hose.1. Tighten or replace hose clamp.
2. Missing O-Ring on power
steering pressure hose
connection.2. Inspect connection and replace
O-Ring as required.
3. Low power steering fluid level 3. Fill power steering fluid
reservoir to proper level and
perform leakage diagnosis.
4. Air leak between power
steering fluid reservoir and power
steering pump.4. Inspect and/or replace power
steering fluid reservoir or supply
hose as required.
SQUEAK OR RUBBING
SOUND1. Sound coming from steering
column.1.Check for squeak in steering
column. Inspect for contact
between shroud, intermediate
shaft, column, and steering wheel.
Realign if necessary.Note: Check
steering column for noise
without clockspriing installed
and with the steering column
shaft removed from the steering
intermediate shaft. This must be
done before removing the
steering column for a noise
complaint.
2. Check for lack or grease on
steering column dash panel to
lower coupler seal.
2.Clockspring 3. Replace Clockspring
3. Sound internal to steering gear. 4. Replace steering gear
assembly.
SCRUBBING OR KNOCKING
SOUND1. Incorrect tire size. 1. Verify that tire size on vehicle is
the same as originally supplied.
2. Check clearance between tires
and other vehicle components,
through the full travel of the
suspension.2. Correct as necessary.
3. Check for interference between
steering gear and other
components.3.Correct as necessary.
4.Incorrect steering gear supplied. 4. Replace steering gear with
correct steering gear for specific
vehicle.

level and let the fluid settle for at least two (2) min-
utes.
(9) Start the engine and let run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.

refill as required.
(16) If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehi-
cle to stand a few minutes and repeat the above pro-
cedure.
POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
Service all power steering hoses with vehicle raised
on hoist. Cap all open ends of hoses, power steering
pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent
entry of foreign material into the components.
WARNING: POWER STEERING OIL, ENGINE
PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.
DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
For part reference and part location for the vehicle
that is being serviced, refer to the following figure
numbers. These show the hose bracket locations,
hose routings and fitting locations by the engine
application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers
when referring to the removal or installation proce-
dures for the power steering hoses listed below.
