(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.

VAFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 3

(4) Fill fuel tank with fresh diesel fuel.
(5) Drain and remove the fuel filter. (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL FILTER /
WATER SEPARATOR - REMOVAL)
(6) Install a new fuel filter. (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL FILTER / WATER
SEPARATOR - INSTALLATION)
(7) Check the engine control module for any diag-
nostic trouble codes (DTCs). Record and clear any
DTCs that are present.
(8) Start and run the engine. Run the engine for
up to 15 minutes to allow time for any DTCs to reset
and shut off the engine.
(9) Check the engine control module for any diag-
nostic trouble codes (DTCs). Record any DTCs that
are present. Refer to the appropriate engine electrical
diagnostics to diagnose any DTCs that were set.
CAUTION: With the high pressure fuel system in
this vehicle, any residual contaminated fuel will be
removed very quickly. Shut off the engine immedi-
ately if signs of engine damage are noted.The engine should then be evaluated to determine
if the contaminated fuel has caused any damage to
the fuel system and/or engine. Indicators that the
fuel system has been damaged include the following:
²Unstable fuel rail pressure. This can manifest
itself as instability of idle speeds, excessive under-
shoot/overshoot at engine start-up, or excessive
undershoot/overshoot when the engine operating con-
ditions change. A typical engine response to a large
rail pressure undershoot would be a decrease in
engine speed or engine stall.
²Excessive noise from the engine. This could indi-
cate poor rail pressure control or the inability of the
injection system to inject the proper amount of fuel.
²Excessive smoke (black or white). This could
indicate the inability of the fuel system to inject the
proper amount of fuel.
NOTE: If any of these conditions are exhibited after
cleaning the fuel system, proceed to the appropri-
ate engine electrical diagnostic information. Repair
the fuel system and/or engine as necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL SUPPLY
RESTRICTIONS
LOW - PRESSURE LINES
Fuel supply line restrictions can cause starting
problems and prevent engine from accelerating. The
starting problems include; low power and/or white
fog like exhaust.
Test all fuel supply lines for restrictions or block-
age. Flush or replace as necessary.
HIGH - PRESSURE LINES
CAUTION: High pressure lines cannot contact each
other or other components. Do not attempt to weld
high-pressure fuel lines or to repair lines that are
damaged. High pressure lines must be replaced at
each disassembly. Use only recommended lines
when replacement of high-pressure fuel line is nec-
essary.
Restricted (kinked or bent) high-pressure lines can
cause starting problems, poor engine performance,engine mis-fire and white smoke from exhaust (Refer
to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM - WARNING).
FUEL FILTER
DESCRIPTION
The fuel filter was designed for improved high alti-
tude operation and for better re-start after the fuel
tank has been completely emptied. The water drain
plug and water in fuel (WIF) sensor are located on
the top of the filter. Water is drained by using the in-
tank electric fuel pump to generate flow (attach a
hose to the drain plug). The filter has a pressure dif-
ferential of 200±300 mbar (2.9 psi.) when new. When
dirty, the pressure differential rises to 800 mbar (11.6
psi.) (Fig. 2).
