OPERATION
Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressur-
ized air from the turbocharger then flows forward
through the charge air cooler located in front of the
radiator. From the charge air cooler the air flows
back into the intake manifold.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGE AIR
COOLER SYSTEM - LEAKS
NOTE: Slight engine oil pooling in the charge air
inlet hose IS NOT premature turbocharger failure.
Slight pooling is the normal result of the breather
system. Test the air breather tube for normal oper-
ation by referring to the appropriate diagnostic
manual.
Low turbocharger boost pressure and low engine
performance can be caused by leaks in the charge air
cooler or it's plumbing. The following procedure out-
lines how to check for leaks in the charge air cooler
system.
(1) Loosen clamp and remove turbocharger to air
inlet duct rubber sleeve from turbocharger.
(2) Insert Special Tool 8442 Adapter into the rub-
ber sleeve. Tighten existing clamp to 8 N´m (72
in.lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 138 kpa (20 psi)
air pressure to the charge air cooler system, sever
damage to the charge air cooler system may occur.
(3) Connect regulated air supply to air fitting on
Special Tool 8442 Adapter. Set air pressure to a Max-
imum of 138 kpa (20 psi).
(4) Using soapy water check the air inlet ducts,
rubber sleeves, charge air cooler and intake manifold
for leaks.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove front bumper.
(2) Remove headlamp assemblies.
(3) Remove front cross member together with front
grille.
(4) Remove left and right radiator trim (Fig. 3).
(5) Disconnect charge air hoses at charge air cooler
(Fig. 3).
(6) Disconnect power steering cooler loop from
charge air cooler (Fig. 3).
(7) Remove charge air cooler from radiator assem-
bly (Fig. 3).
CLEANING
CAUTION: Do not use caustic cleaners to clean the
charge air cooler. Damage to the charge air cooler
will result.
NOTE: If internal debris cannot be removed from
the cooler, the charge air cooler MUST be replaced.
(1) If the engine experiences a turbocharger failure
or any other situation where oil or debris get into the
charge air cooler, the charge air cooler must be
cleaned internally.
(2) Position the charge air cooler so the inlet and
outlet tubes are vertical.
(3) Flush the cooler internally with solvent in the
direction opposite of normal air flow.
(4) Shake the cooler and lightly tap on the end
tanks with a rubber mallet to dislodge trapped
debris.
(5) Continue flushing until all debris or oil are
removed.
(6) Rinse the cooler with hot soapy water to
remove any remaining solvent.
(7) Rinse thoroughly with clean water and blow
dry with compressed air.

(7) Connect a scan tool, select from Main Menu,
System Select, Engine, System Tests, Fuel Quantity
Test, Engine Cranking Test and follow the screen.
(8) After ten seconds, a maximum of 2.5 ml
(between2&3graduation lines) may be reached in
the inner vials. If the level has exceeded the 2.5 ml,
replace that affected cylinder's injector, clear the
memory using the scan tool, empty the test vials, and
retest.
RUNNING TEST
NOTE: If an injector is found to be out of specifica-
tion, repeat this test procedure after the injector
replacement. Hydraulic flow will take the path of
least resistance and multiple failures may be identi-
fied. Engine temperature must be above 80É C
(176ÉF) to perform the running test.
Perform this test with the engine at operating tem-
perature. This test will assist in determining a defec-
tive or internally leaking injector(s) is present by
measuring the amount of fuel return.
(1) Turn the ignition off.
(2) Remove the engine cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE
- REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect the fuel return hoses at the top of
the injectors.
(4) Pinch off the fuel return line at the banjo bolt
fitting of the fuel rail.
(5) Install the test vials onto the injectors and
secure with the return hose clips (Fig. 2).
(6) Connect a scan tool, select from Main Menu,
System Select, Engine, System Tests, Fuel Quantity
Test, Engine Running Test and follow the screen.
(7) After ten seconds, a maximum of five gradua-
tion lines (40 ml) of the large test vial may bereached. If the level has exceeded the five graduation
line, replace that affected cylinder's injector, clear the
memory using the scan tool, empty the test vials, and
retest.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURES - CLEANING FUEL
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system com-
ponents. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, and fuel injection
pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these
parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part
wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle
tip holes. This in turn could lead to possible engine
misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system compo-
nent thoroughly before disassembly and then air
dry. DO NOT wire brush injector nozzles when
cleaning. Cap or cover any open part after disas-
sembly. Before assembly, examine each part for
dirt, grease or other contaminants and clean if nec-
essary. When installing new parts, lubricate them
with clean engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.
STANDARD PROCEDURES - DRAINING WATER
FROM FUEL FILTER
Connect a hose to the Water in Fuel (WIF) drain
and place it in a clearly marked and suitable con-
tainer. Open the WIF drain by turning counterclock-
wise (Fig. 3). Turn the ignition key on for 20 seconds
(Refer to low pressure fuel pump operation). Repeat
the procedure until all water is removed, close the
drain and remove the hose.
