8.FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engineoff). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure mustbe released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION: After each Fuel Injector actuation, start the engine to clean thecylinder of fuel. Failure to do so
could cause engine damage.
Remove special tool #C4390.
Start the engine and allow the fuel pressure to reach maximum pressure.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Using the scan tool, actuate the Fuel Injector.
Monitor the fuel pressure gauge.
Does the fuel pressure gauge indicate a drop in fuel pressure?

9.CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
10.CHECKING CKP SIGNAL WITH LAB SCOPE
NOTE: The conditions that set this DTC are not present at this time. The following test may help in identi-
fying the intermittent condition.
Turn the ignition off.
With the scan tool as a Dual Channel Lab Scope and the Miller special tool #6801, backprobe the (K24) CKP Signal
circuit in the PCM harness connector and CKP harness connector.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in a direct line with thefan. Do not put your hand
near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing.
Start the engine.
Carefully wiggle the related wire harness and gently tap on the CKP sensor.
Compare the Channel 1 reading to the Channel 2 reading on the lab scope screen.
Both of the readings should be the same.
Were any of the above conditions present?
Ye s>>
Repair the wiring or connector concern.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
