sor, carefully position fuel pump module into opening
in fuel tank.
(8) Position locknut over top of fuel pump module.
Install locknut finger tight.
(9) The fuel line fittings should be pointed to the
right side of the vehicle. Rotate and position align-
ment arrow (Fig. 17) towards right side of vehicle (if
necessary) before tightening locknut.This step
must be performed to prevent the module's
float from contacting the side of fuel tank.

FUEL QUANTITY CONTROL
VA LV E
DESCRIPTION
The fuel quantity control valve mounts to front of
the high pressure pump and is controlled by the
ECM. The quantity control valve assists in maintain-
ing proper fuel quantity injected under all operating
conditions. Fuel tank heat protection is also provided
by the quantity control valve. The valve meters the
exact amount of fuel to prevent excess heated fuel
from returning to the tank.
OPERATION
The ECM monitors the fuel system and measures
for pressure vibrations. The ECM will then send a
pulse width signal to the quantity control valve to
regulate the amount of fuel to the high pressure
pump plunger and barrel assemblies. The valve then
adjusts the injection correction quantity for each
individual cylinder in line with the firing order, there
by eliminating the pressure resonance in the fuel rail
and improving each independent injectors operation.
The fuel quantity valve also interrupts the fuel sup-
ply to the high pressure pump plunger and barrel
assemblies when the engine is switched off.
The ECM detects the operating state which exists
at the engine by means of the sensors. In order to
adapt the quantity injected, either the rail pressure
can be adjusted by way of the pressure regulator
valve and the quantity control valve, or the actuationtime of the solenoid valves in the fuel injectors can
be extended or shortened.
Fuel quantity control is performed under the fol-
lowing operating conditions:
²Approximately 30 seconds after the engine has
started
²Fuel temperature > 20ÉC (68ÉF)
²Engine not in deceleration mode

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SEN-
SOR
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor is located opposite
the teeth on the flywheel and uses a non contact
method to record the position of the crankshaft. The
leading edges of each tooth on the flywheel generate
a positive signal in the position sensor, while the
trailing edges generate a negative signal. When the
crankshaft is rotating, an alternating voltage is pro-
duced as a result.
The period of the signal is the time required by the
crankshaft to turn through the gap between two fly-
wheel teeth. The clearance between the crankshaft
position sensor and the teeth of the flywheel is fixed
by the installation.
Two teeth on the flywheel are missing. The result-
ing signal gap is used by the ECM to detect the TDC
position of cylinder number one.
OPERATION
The clearance between the crankshaft position sen-
sor and the flywheel are fixed by the installation
position. Two teeth on the flywheel are missing. The
resulting gap is used by the ECM to detect DTC of
cylinder number one. The crankshaft position is cal-
culated to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree so
that the start and end of injection can occur at
exactly the right moment. The engine speed signal is
also processed by the ECM from the crankshaft sen-
sor. This signal is then transferred to other control
modules over the CAN bus.
If the crankshaft position sensor fails, the ECM
will stop triggering the injectors, the engine will
stall, the engine warning light may or may not illu-
minate, but the engine will not restart.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Unplug the crankshaft wiring harness connec-
tor.
(3) Remove the crankshaft sensor retaining bolt
and remove sensor (Fig. 9).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the crankshaft position sensor into the
access hole and install retaining bolt.
(2) Tighten the retaining bolt to 80 lbs. in. (9 N´m)
(Fig. 9).
(3) Connect crankshaft position sensor wiring har-
ness connector (Fig. 9).
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
FUEL INJECTOR
There are individual fuel injectors for all five cyl-
inders. Each injector nozzle has seven holes. The fuel
injectors are used to spray fuel into the combustion
chamber. Each injector has a six digit alphanumeric
code on the injector top which must be entered into
to ECM using the DRBIIIt(Fig. 10). Specific moving
parts inside the injector are graphite coated to assist
with the lubrication process.

may pinch or damage the hose causing fuel leakage
or a driveability concern.(10) Install engine cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
INSTALLATION)..
FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel rail pressure sensor measures the current
fuel rail pressure and supplies an appropriate voltage
signal to the ECM. The non-constant fuel system
pressure influences the position of the internal dia-
phragm. This results in a variation in the electrical
resistance which is analyzed by the ECM.
OPERATION
The fuel rail pressure sensor measures the current
fuel rail pressure and sends a voltage signal to the
ECM. The ECM then actuates the fuel rail pressure
control valve until the desired rail pressure is
achieved.
REMOVAL
(1) (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJEC-
TION - WARNING) Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the mixing housing.
(3) Unplug the sensor (Fig. 14).
(4) Counter-hold the threaded connection at the
fuel rail and unscrew the sensor (Fig. 14).

VAFUEL INJECTION 14 - 39

OPERATION
The Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)
resister located within the intake air temperature
sensor alters it's resistance in line with the charge
air temperature. If the engine is cold, the value
equals ambient temperature. For a temperature of
68ÉF (20ÉC) the resistance is approximately 6000
ohms. For a temperature of 104ÉF (40ÉC) the resis-
tance is approximately 3300 ohms (Fig. 20).
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Unplug the wiring harness connector at the
intake air temperature sensor.
(3) Press together the sensor locking arms and
remove the sensor from the charge air pipe (Fig.
21).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the intake air temperature sensor
above the charge air pipe access hole.
(2) Press together the sensor locking tabs, seat the
sensor to the pipe and release tabs (Fig. 21).
(3) Connect negative battery cable.
INTAKE AIR PRESSURE SEN-
SOR
DESCRIPTION
An absolute pressure sensor is mounted to the air
cleaner housing. The sensor is used by the ECM to
adjust for changes in altitude and for air intake
obstructions due to a clogging air cleaner.
OPERATION
The ECM uses the intake air pressure sensor to
monitor the intake pressure. Monitoring this pres-
sure allows better control of the variable geometry
turbocharger to suit the driving environment and
preserve turbocharger durability.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Disconnect the sensor electrical connector.
(3) Remove the air intake pressure sensor.
