WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DIESEL SUP-
PLEMENTAL CABIN HEATER IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA SUCH AS A GARAGE THAT DOES NOT HAVE
EXHAUST VENTILATION FACILITIES. ALWAYS VENT
THE CABIN HEATER EXHAUST WHEN OPERATING
THE CABIN HEATER. ALLOW THE DIESEL SUPPLE-
MENTAL CABIN HEATER TO COOL BEFORE PER-
FORMING ANY SERVICE PROCEDURES TO THE
CABIN HEATER. VERIFY THAT ALL DIESEL SUP-
PLEMENTAL CABIN HEATER FUEL LINES ARE
SECURELY FASTENED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE
COMPONENTS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SER-
VICE PROCEDURES TO THE CABIN HEATER. FAIL-
URE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTION MAY
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: Verify that there is more than 1/8 of a tank of
fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank before performing this
procedure. Add fuel, if necessary.
(1) Install the cabin heater fuel supply line into
vehicle and fuel line retainers.
(2) Install the fuel line connection at the fuel tank
and tighten the connection securely.
(3) Install the fuel line at the dosing pump and
tighten the connection securely.
(4) Lower the vehicle.
NOTE: Failure to prime the dosing pump after drain-
ing the supplemental cabin fuel line will prevent
cabin heater activation during the first attempt to
start the cabin heater. This will also set a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) in the cabin heater control's
memory. Do not perform the Dosing Pump Priming
procedure if an attempt was made to start the cabin
heater without priming the dosing pump first. This
will put excess fuel in the cabin heater and cause
smoke to emit from the cabin heater exhaust pipe
when cabin heater activation occurs.
(5) Connect the DRBIIItscan tool to the diagnos-
tic link connector.
(6) Turn the ignition to the ON position.
NOTE: Do not activate the dosing pump prime more
than one time. This will put excess fuel in the sup-
plemental cabin heater and cause smoke to emit
from the cabin heater exhaust pipe when cabin
heater activation occurs.
NOTE: A clicking noise heard coming from the dos-
ing pump indicates that the pump is operational.(7) With the DRBIIItscan tool in Cabin Heater,
select System Tests and Dosing Pump Prime. Allow
the dosing pump to run for the full 45 second cycle
time. When the 45 second cycle is complete, press
Page Back on the DRBIIItscan tool key pad to exit
the Dosing Pump Prime. The Dosing Pump Priming
procedure is now complete.

(2) Drain the engine cooling system (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Carefully open one hose to the underbody tube
assembly and drain the remaining coolant. A salvage
hose is a good idea to control the residual coolant, as
flow will occur from both the cabin heater and the
hose and tube assemblies.
(4) Remove the second hose from the underbody
hose and tube assembly.
(5) Loosen the hose and tube assembly from the
toe-board crossmember at two locations.
(6) Disconnect the electrical connector from the
body harness near the toe-board crossmember and
rail.
(7) Remove the wiring harness from the toe-board
crossmember (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CON-
DITIONING/CABIN HEATER/HEATER UNIT -

(8) Open the fuel filler cap. Disconnect the rubber
fuel hose between the body tube assembly and the
fuel pump nipple at the body tube joint. A minimal
amount of fuel may flow from the open port.
NOTE: Utilize an approved fuel storage container to
catch any residual fuel.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PCV SYSTEM
WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR
BLOCK WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TEST
OR ADJUSTMENT WITH THE ENGINE OPERATING.
(1) With engine idling, remove the hose from the
PCV valve. If the valve is not plugged, a hissing
noise will be heard as air passes through the valve. A
strong vacuum should also be felt when a finger is
placed over the valve inlet.
(2) Install hose on PCV valve. Remove the
make-up air hose from the air plenum at the rear of
the engine. Hold a piece of stiff paper (parts tag)
loosely over the end of the make-up air hose.
(3) After allowing approximately one minute for
crankcase pressure to reduce, the paper should draw
up against the hose with noticeable force. If the
engine does not draw the paper against the grommet
after installing a new valve, replace the PCV valve
hose.
(4) Turn the engine off. Remove the PCV valve
from intake manifold. The valve should rattle when
shaken.
(5) Replace the PCV valve and retest the system if
it does not operate as described in the preceding
tests.Do not attempt to clean the old PCV valve.
If the valve rattles, apply a light coating of Loctitet
Pipe Sealant With Teflon to the threads. Thread the
PCV valve into the manifold plenum and tighten to 7
N´m (60 in. lbs.) torque.
