DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This Fuel Delivery section will cover components
not controlled by the PCM. For components con-
trolled by the PCM, refer to the Fuel Injection Sys-
temÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this group.
The fuel heater relay, fuel heater and fuel gauge
are not operated by the PCM. These components are
controlled by the ignition (key) switch. All other fuel
system electrical components necessary to operate
the engine are controlled or regulated by the PCM.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE WARNING
WARNING: HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 45,000 KPA (6526 PSI).
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FORHIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD (Fig. 1). HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank and tank mounting used with the
diesel powered engine is the same as used with gas-
oline powered models, although the fuel tank module
is different.
The fuel tank contains the fuel tank module and
two rollover valves. Two fuel lines are routed to the
fuel tank module. One line is used for fuel supply to
the fuel filter/water separator. The other is used to
return excess fuel back to the fuel tank.
The fuel tank module contains the fuel gauge elec-
trical sending unit.An electrical fuel pump is not
used with the diesel engine.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the group will cover a general diag-
nosis of diesel engine fuel system components.
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.
The PCM must be tested with the DRBIII scan
tool. The DRBIII should be the first step in any diag-
nosis of engine performance complaints. Refer to the
1997 GS 2.5L Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual for diagnosis and testing of the diesel
engine control system.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or incor-
rectly routed wires and hoses should be made before
attempting to diagnose or service the diesel fuel
injection system. A visual check will help find these
conditions. It also saves unnecessary test and diag-
nostic time. A thorough visual inspection of the fuel
injection system includes the following checks:
(1) Be sure that the battery connections are tight
and not corroded.
(2) Be sure that the 68 way connector is fully
engaged with the PCM (Fig. 12).
(3) Verify that the electrical connections for the
Diesel PCM relay are clean and free of corrosion.
This relay is located in the PDC. For the location ofthe relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC
cover.
(4) Verify that the electrical connections for the
fuel heater relay are clean and free of corrosion. This
relay is located in the PDC. For the location of the
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
(5) Be sure the electrical connectors at the ends of
the glow plugs (Fig. 13) are tight and free of corro-
sion.
(6) Be sure that the electrical connections at the
glow plug relay are tight and not corroded. The glow
plug relay is located in the engine compartment on
the left±inner fender (Fig. 14).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the
cable core wire (within the cable sheathing) while
servicing the accelerator pedal or throttle cable.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect electrical connector.
(2) Remove accelerator pedal mounting bracket
nuts. Remove accelerator pedal assembly.
INSTALLATION
(1) Place accelerator pedal assembly over studs
protruding from floor pan. Tighten mounting nuts to
5 N´m (46 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Connect electrical connector.
(3) Before starting the engine, operate the acceler-
ator pedal to check for any binding.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
REMOVAL
(1) Remove hose clamp at Mass Air Flow Sensor.
(2) Remove hose from Mass Air Flow Sensor.(3) Loosen 2 clamps holding air cleaner housing
halves together.
(4) Remove left side of air cleaner housing.
(5) Remove element from air cleaner housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install a new element in housing.
(2) Position left side of housing.
(3) Snap clamps into place.
(4) Install hoses and clamps.
FUEL DRAIN TUBES
The fuel drain tubes (Fig. 28) are low±pressure
type.
Pull each tube from the injector for removal. Push
on for installation. Clamps are not required for these
tubes.
FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
The fuel filter/water separator is located in the
engine compartment on the right side near the shock
tower. (Fig. 29).
The fuel filter/water separator assembly contains
the fuel filter, fuel heater element, and fuel drain
valve (Fig. 29).
DRAINING WATER FROM FILTER BOWL
Moisture (water) collects at the bottom of the filter/
separator in a plastic bowl. Water entering the fuel
injection pump can cause serious damage to the
pump.Note that the bulb will be illuminated for
approximately 2 seconds each time the key is
initially placed in the ON position. This is done
for a bulb check.
