CAMSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L
diesel engine is located below the fuel injection
pump. It is bolted to the back of the timing gear
housing.
OPERATION
The diesel Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) con-
tains a hall effect device. A rotating target wheel
(tonewheel) for the CMP is located on the camshaft
gear. This hall effect device detects notches located
on the back side of the camshaft gear. As the cam-
shaft gear rotates, the notches pass the tip of the
CMP.
When the leading edge of the notch passes the tip
of the CMP, the following occurs: The interruption of
magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high
resulting in a signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the notch passes the tip
of the CMP, the following occurs: The change of the
magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch low
to 0 volts.
The CMP (Fig. 8) provides a signal to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) at all times when the engine
is running. The ECM uses the CMP information pri-
marily on engine start-up. Once the engine is run-
ning, the ECM uses the CMP as a backup sensor for
engine speed. The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)

FUEL CONTROL ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the
rear of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump (Fig.
13).
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electroni-
cally controlled solenoid valve. The ECM controls the
amount of fuel that enters the high-pressure pump-
ing chambers by opening and closing the FCA based
on a demanded fuel pressure. When the FCA is
opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being sup-
plied to the fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does
not enter the injection pump is directed to the cas-
cade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve reg-
ulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of
the pump and how much is returned to the fuel tank
through the drain manifold.
An audible click from the FCA is normal when
operating the key from the ON to the OFF position.
REMOVAL
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is a non-servi-
cable part.
FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
Six individual, solenoid actuated high-pressure fuel
injectors are used (Fig. 14). The injectors are verti-
cally mounted into a bored hole in the top of the cyl-
inder head. This bored hole is located between the
intake/exhaust valves. High-pressure connectors (Fig.
15), mounted into the side of the cylinder head, con-
nect each fuel injector to each high-pressure fuel line.
OPERATION
High-pressure fuel is supplied from the injection
pump, through a high-pressure fuel line, into a fuel
rail, through high-pressure lines, through steel con-
nectors and into the solenoid actuated fuel injector.
The ECM actuates the solenoid causing the needle
valve to rise and fuel flows through the spray holes
in the nozzle tip into the combustion chamber.
Each fuel injector is connected to the fuel rail by a
high-pressure fuel line and a steel connector. This
steel connector is positioned into the cylinder head
and sealed with an o-ring. The connector is retained
in the cylinder head by a nut (fitting) that is
threaded into the cylinder head.

The torquing force of this threaded nut (fitting)
provides a sealing pressure between the fuel line con-
nector and the fuel injector.Retaining nut torque
is very critical.If the nut (fitting) is under torqued,
the mating surfaces will not seal and a high-pressure
fuel leak will result. If the fitting is over torqued, the
connector and injector will deform and also cause a
high-pressure fuel leak. This leak will be inside the
cylinder head and will not be visible. The result will
be a possible fuel injector miss-fire and low power, or
a no-start condition.
The fuel injectors use hole type nozzles. High-pres-
sure flows into the side of the injector, the ECM acti-
vates the solenoid causing the injector needle to lift
and fuel to be injected. The clearances in the nozzle
bore are extremely small and any dirt or contami-
nants will cause the injector to stick. Because of this,
it is very important to do a thorough cleaning of any
lines before opening up any fuel system component.
Always cover or cap any open fuel connections before
a fuel system repair is performed.
Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge
filter that is designed to beak up small contaminants
before entering the fuel injector.The edge filters
are not a substitute for proper cleaning andcovering of all fuel system components during
repair.
The bottom of each fuel injector is sealed to the
cylinder head with a1.5mmthick copper shim (gas-
ket). The correct thickness shim must always be re-
installed after removing an injector.
Fuel pressure in the injector circuit decreases after
injection. The injector needle valve is immediately
closed and fuel flow into the combustion chamber is
stopped. Exhaust gases are prevented from entering
the injector nozzle by the needle valve.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Refer to Cleaning Fuel System Parts.
Six individual, solenoid actuated high-pressure fuel
injectors are used (Fig. 14). The injectors are verti-
cally mounted into a bored hole in the top of the cyl-
inder head. This bored hole is located between the
intake/exhaust valves. High-pressure connectors (Fig.
15), mounted into the side of the cylinder head, con-
nect each fuel injector to each high-pressure fuel line.
