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/hg   3 in/hg (17.7±18.2 psi  
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.

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).
OPERATION
The sensor located in the Bosch VP44 fuel injection
pump is used to check fuel temperature within the
injection pump and to set a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) if a specific high fuel temperature has been
reached. If high temperature has been reached,
engine power will be de-rated by the Engine Control
Module (ECM).
The sensor located in the top of the fuel filter hous-
ing is used to control the fuel heater element. Refer
to Fuel Heater Description and Operation for addi-
tional information.
INTAKE AIR HEATER
DESCRIPTION
The intake manifold air heater element assembly
is located in the top of the intake manifold (Fig. 25).
OPERATION
The air heater elements are used to heat incoming
air to the intake manifold. This is done to help
engine starting and improve driveability with cool or
cold outside temperatures.
Electrical supply for the 2 air heater elements is
controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM)
through the 2 air heater relays. Refer to Intake Man-
ifold Air Heater Relays for more information.
Two heavy-duty cables connect the 2 air heater ele-
ments to the 2 air heater relays. Each of these cables
will supply approximately 95 amps at 12 volts to an
individual heating element within the heater block
assembly.
Refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual for an electrical operation and complete
description of the intake heaters, including pre-heat
and post-heat cycles.
REMOVAL

attached to a metal block located at the top of the
intake manifold (Fig. 26). If servicing either of the
heater elements, the entire block/element assembly
must be replaced.
(1) Disconnect both negative battery cables at both
batteries.
(2) Disconnect clamp from rubber hose at air
intake housing.
(3) Disconnect rubber hose at air intake housing.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is
installed into the rear of the intake manifold (Fig.
31) with the sensor element extending into the air
stream.
OPERATION - DIESEL
The IAT provides an input voltage to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) indicating intake manifold air
temperature. The input is used along with inputs
from other sensors for intake air heater element
operation, for engine protection, fuel timing and fuel
control. As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in
the manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes.
This results in a different input voltage to the ECM.
