at the outside of fuel injection pump (Fig. 60). It con-
nects the fuel return line (banjo fitting) to the pump.
The valve has no internal serviceable parts and must
be replaced as an assembly. Two sealing gaskets are
used. One gasket is located between pump and banjo
fitting. The other is located between the banjo fitting
and end of valve.
(1) Install new sealing gaskets to valve.
(2) Install valve through banjo fitting and into
pump.
(3) Tighten to 30 N´m (24 ft. lbs.) torque.
WATER IN FUEL SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The WIF sensor is located on the side of the fuel
filter/water separator canister (Fig. 61).
OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/
water separator. As the water level in the filter/sep-
arator increases, the resistance across the WIF
sensor decreases. This decrease in resistance is sent
as a signal to the ECM and compared to a high
water standard value. Once the value reaches 30 to
40 kilohms, the ECM will activate the water-in-fuel
warning lamp through CCD bus circuits. This all
takes place when the ignition key is initially put in
the ON position. The ECM continues to monitor the
input at the end of the intake manifold air heater
post-heat cycle.
REMOVAL
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is located at the
side of fuel filter/water separator canister. Refer to
Fuel Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation for
WIF sensor removal/installation procedures.

FUEL INJECTION - DIESEL
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM
The Engine Control Module (ECM) and Fuel Injec-
tion Pump Control Module (FPCM) are used prima-
rily for fuel system control. The ECM is a separate
replaceable component, while the FPCM is internal
to the fuel injection pump and is a non-serviceable
part. The ECM and FPCM are interconnected (wired
together) for fuel injection control.The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is used to
regulate or control the A/C, charging and speed con-
trol systems. It is also used to partially control cer-
tain electronic automatic transmission components.
The PCM also has control over certain instrument
panel components.
Refer to either Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
or Engine Control Module (ECM) for additional infor-
mation. Refer to (Fig. 1) for a partial list of fuel sys-
tem components.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BOOST PRESSURE
Two pressure gauges attached at two different
points are required for this test.(1) Obtain two 6828 fuel pressure test gauges
(equivalent gauges are OK).Gauge Consistency
Test:Connect the gauges together to a common pres-
sure source and verify pressure consistency of both
gauges. Do this consistency test at approximately 206
kPa (30 psi). If pressures are different, they can still
be used for test. Note and record differences in pres-
sures before testing. Make adjustments as necessary.
(2) Remove 3/4º pipe plug fitting at rear of intake
manifold (Fig. 2). Temporarily replace this fitting
with fitting reducer to adapt to pressure gauge.
Note: This pipe plug is located to front of MAP
sensor. Do not remove plug to rear of MAP sen-
sor. This is a COOLANT passage plug.
(3) Loosen hose clamp and disconnect rubber sig-
nal line (Fig. 3) from 1/8º brass fitting at front of tur-
bocharger.
(4) Remove 1/8º brass fitting (Fig. 3) from turbo-
charger. Temporarily replace this fitting with a 1/8º
ªTº fitting to adapt to pressure gauge.
(5) Reattach signal line to temporary ªTº.
(6) Attach first pressure gauge to intake manifold
fitting.
(7) Attach second pressure gauge to ªTº fitting at
turbocharger.
Engine must be at rated RPM and full load for the
test.
If gauge pressure differential is greater than 3 psi
(6 in. Hg), check intercooler and associated piping for
restrictions, plugging or damage.
Maximum pressure at intake manifold (rated rpm
and load) is 36±37 in/hg63 in/hg (17.7±18.2 psi6
1.5 psi).
Wastegate should open at no higher than 38.7
in/hg (19 psi) at wide open throttle, full load. If
wastegate is out of adjustment, a DTC may have
been set. Refer to Wastegate Adjustment in Engines
for adjustment procedures.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
POSITION SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The APPS assembly is located at the top-left-front
of the engine (Fig. 4). A plastic cover is used to cover
the assembly. The actual sensor is located behind its
mounting bracket (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a
linear potentiometer. It provides the Engine Control
Module (ECM) with a DC voltage signal proportional
to the angle, or position of the accelerator pedal. In
previous model years, this part was known as the
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
Diesel engines used in previous model years used a
mechanical cable between the accelerator pedal and
the TPS lever. Linkage and bellcranks between the
TPS cable lever and the fuel injection pump were
also used. Although the cable has been retained with
the APPS, the linkage and bellcranks between the
cable lever and the fuel injection pump are no longer
used.
The APPS is serviced (replaced) as one assembly
including the lever, brackets and sensor. The APPS is
calibrated and permanently positioned to its mount-
ing bracket.CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove sensor from
its mounting bracket as electronic calibration will
be destroyed (sensor-to-bracket mounting screws
are permanently attached). Two accelerator lever
set screws (Fig. 4) are used to position lever. Do
not attempt to alter positions of these set screws as
electronic calibration will be destroyed.
REMOVAL
The APPS is serviced (replaced) as one assembly
including the lever, brackets and sensor. The APPS is
calibrated to its mounting bracket. The APPS assem-
bly is located at left-front of engine below plastic
cable/lever/linkage cover (Fig. 6).
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove sensor from
its mounting bracket as electronic calibration will
be destroyed (sensor-to-bracket mounting screws
are permanently attached). Two accelerator lever
set screws (Fig. 8) are used to position lever. Do
not attempt to alter positions of these set screws as
electronic calibration will be destroyed.

(g) If any of these conditions occur, replace injec-
tor.
(2) Thoroughly clean fuel injector cylinder head
bore with special Cummins wire brush tool or equiv-
alent (Fig. 24). Blow out bore hole with compressed
air.
(3) The bottom of fuel injector is sealed to cylinder
head bore with a copper sealing washer (shim) of a
certain thickness. A new shim with correct thickness
must always be re-installed after removing injector.
Measure thickness of injector shim (Fig. 23).Shim
Thickness: 1.5 mm (.060º)
(4) Install new shim (washer) to bottom of injector
(Fig. 22). Apply light coating of clean engine oil to
washer. This will keep washer in place during instal-
lation.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP
RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The fuel injection pump relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to label
under PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
The Engine Control Module (ECM) energizes the
electric fuel injection pump through the fuel injection
pump relay. Battery voltage is applied to the fuel
injection pump relay at all times. When the key is
turned ON, the relay is energized when a 12±volt sig-
nal is provided by the ECM. When energized,
12±volts is supplied to the Fuel Pump Control Mod-
ule. The Fuel Pump Control Module is located on the
top of the fuel injection pump and is non-servicable.
FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Two different fuel temperature sensors are used.
One of the sensors is located inside of the Bosch
VP44 fuel injection pump and is a non-serviceable
part. The other fuel temperature sensor is located in
the top of the fuel filter housing and is serviceable
(serviceable if replacing the fuel heater).
