Diagnosis and Testing
Principles of Operation
For a detailed description of the fuel charging and controls system and operation, refer to the relevant Description and
Operation section of the workshop manual. REFER to:
Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04D Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04D Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04D Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04E Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04E Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04E Fuel Charging and Controls - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation).
Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle.
NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
