MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
FOR ALL MARKETS EXCEPT
U.S., CANADA and MEXICO
DESCRIPTION — DIESEL ENGINES
Maintenance Schedule Information not included in
this section, is located in the appropriate Owner’s
Manual.
There are two maintenance schedules that show
the required service for your vehicle.
First is Schedule “B”. It is for vehicles that are
operated under the conditions that are listed below
and at the beginning of the schedule.
• Extensive engine idling.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above 32° C (90° F).
• Trailer towing.
• Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial ser-
vice).
NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions listed for Schedule ⴖBⴖ.
Second is Schedule “A”. It is for vehicles that are
not operated under any of the conditions listed under
Schedule ⬙B⬙.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving
conditions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow
the interval that occurs first.
CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop for Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after
a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil
level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil
only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN
mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if
required.
Once a Month
• Check the tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake
master cylinder, power steering and transmission
and add as needed.
• Check all lights and all other electrical items for
correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the exhaust system.
• Inspect the brake hoses.
• Inspect the CV joints and front suspension com-
ponents.
• Check the manual transmission fluid level.
• Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
• Inspect engine accessory drive belts. Replace as
necessary.
• Inspect for the presence of water in the fuel filter/water separator unit.
• Rotate the tires at each oil change interval (20
000 km).
SCHEDULE “B”
Follow schedule “B” if you usually operate your
vehicle under one or more of the following conditions.
• Extensive engine idling.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above 32° C (90° F).
• Trailer towing.

COOLING 2.5L TURBO DIESEL
DESCRIPTION - COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, maintains
normal operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heating the passenger compartment. The cooling system
is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water pump to
circulate coolant throughout the system. A separate
and remotely mounted, pressurized coolant tank
using a pressure/vent cap is used.
COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The cooling system consists of:
• Charge Air Cooler
• Electric Cooling Fans
• A aluminum-core radiator with plastic side
tanks
• A separate pressurized coolant tank
• A pressure/vent cap on the coolant tank
• Fan shroud
• Thermostat
• Coolant
• Low coolant warning lamp
• Coolant temperature gauge
• Water pump
• Hoses and hose clamps

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
Establish what driving conditions caused the complaint. Abnormal loads on the cooling system such as
the following may be the cause:
(1) PROLONGED IDLE, VERY HIGH AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE, SLIGHT TAIL WIND AT IDLE,
SLOW TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC JAMS, HIGH SPEED
OR STEEP GRADES.
• Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at
end of normal range.
(2) TRAILER TOWING:
Consult Trailer Towing section of owners manual.
Do not exceed limits.
(3) RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:
Determine if any recent service has been performed on vehicle that may effect cooling system.
This may be:
• Engine adjustments (incorrect timing)
• Slipping engine accessory drive belt
• Brakes (possibly dragging)
• Changed parts (incorrect water pump)
• Reconditioned radiator or cooling system refill-
ing (possibly under filled or air trapped in system).
NOTE: If investigation reveals none of the previous
items as a cause for an engine overheating complaint, refer to following Cooling System Diagnosis
charts.
These charts are to be used as a quick-reference
only.

Attach the Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to the radiator, as shown in (Fig. 1) and apply
104 kPa (15 psi) pressure. If the pressure drops more
than 13.8 kPa (2 psi) in 2 minutes, inspect all points
for external leaks.
All radiator and heater hoses should be shaken
while at 104 kPa (15 psi), since some leaks occur only
while driving due to engine movement.
Page 12
RGCOOLING 2.5L TURBO DIESEL7-7
COOLING 2.5L TURBO DIESEL (Continued)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
FLOW CHECK
To determine whether coolant is flowing through
the cooling system, use the following procedures:
(1) If engine is cold, idle engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Then feel the upper
radiator hose. If it is hot, coolant is circulating.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND
UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS
FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
(2) Remove pressure/vent cap when engine is cold,
idle engine until thermostat opens, you should
observe coolant flow while looking down in the coolant recoverypressurecontainer. Onceflow is
detected install the pressure/vent cap.
If there are no external leaks, after the gauge dial
shows a drop in pressure, detach the tester. Start
engine and run until the thermostat opens, allowing
the coolant to expand. Reattach the cooling system
tester. If the needle on the dial fluctuates it indicates
a combustion leak, usually a head gasket leak.
WARNING: WITH TOOL IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL
BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP,
BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE
RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER
PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
If the needle on the dial does not fluctuate, raise
the engine rpm a few times. If an abnormal amount
of coolant or steam emits from the tailpipe, it may
indicate a coolant leak caused by a faulty head gasket, cracked engine block, or cracked cylinder head.
There may be internal leaks that can be determined by removing the oil dipstick. If water globules
appear intermixed with the oil it will indicate an
internal leak in the engine. If there is an internal
leak, the engine must be disassembled for repair.
Low coolant level in a cross flow radiator will
equalize in both tanks with engine off. With engine
at running and at operating temperature, the high
pressure inlet tank runs full and the low pressure
outlet tank drops, resulting in cooling system aeration. Aeration will draw air into the water pump
resulting in the following:
• High reading shown on the temperature gauge.
• Loss of coolant flow through the heater core.
• Corrosion in the cooling system.
• Water pump seal may run dry, increasing the
risk of premature seal failure.
• Combustion gas leaks into the coolant can also
cause aeration.
CLEANING
Drain cooling system and refill with clean water.
Refer to procedures in this section. Run engine with
pressure/vent cap installed until upper radiator hose
is hot. Stop engine and drain water from system. If
water is dirty; fill, run, and drain system again, until
water runs clear.
INSPECTION
Afterperformingacleaning/flushprocedure,
inspect all hoses, clamps and connections for deterioration and leaks. Inspect radiator and heater core for
leaks.
(3) Install the power steering belt (Refer to 7 COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS INSTALLATION).
IDLER PULLEY
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS REMOVAL).
CAUTION: IDLER PULLEY RETAINING BOLT HAS
LEFT HAND THREAD
(2) Remove the idler pulley (Fig. 2).
DRIVE BELTS
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT
The accessory drive belt is a serpentine type belt
(Fig. 3). Satisfactory performance of these belts
depends on belt condition and proper belt tension.
Coolant flows through the engine water jackets
and cylinder heads absorbing heat produced by the
engine during operation. The coolant carries heat to
the radiator and heater core. Here it is transferred to
ambient air passing through the radiator and heater
core fins.
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle operating conditions. The recommended mixture of 50/50
ethylene-glycol and water will provide protection
against freezing to -37 deg. C (-35 deg. F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of
44 percent, year-round in all climates. If percentage
is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be
eroded by cavitation, and cooling system components may be severely damaged by corrosion.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided
with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7 deg. C (-90 deg. F). A
higher percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can
cause the engine to overheat because the specific
heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
100 Percent Ethylene-Glycol—Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Use of 100 percent ethylene-glycol will cause formation of additive deposits in the system, as the corrosion inhibitive additives in ethylene-glycol require
the presence of water to dissolve. The deposits act as
insulation, causing temperatures to rise to as high as
149 deg. C (300 deg. F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The
increased temperature can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes
at -22 deg. C (-8 deg. F ).
Propylene-glycol Formulations—Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Propylene-glycol formulations do not meet
Chrysler coolant specifications. It’s overall effec-
tive temperature range is smaller than that of ethylene-glycol. The freeze point of 50/50 propylene-glycol
and water is -32 deg. C (-26 deg. F). 5 deg. C higher
than ethylene-glycol’s freeze point. The boiling point
(protection against summer boil-over) of propyleneglycol is 125 deg. C (257 deg.F)at96.5 kPa (14 psi),
compared to 128 deg. C (263 deg. F) for ethylene-glycol. Use of propylene-glycol can result in boil-over or
freeze-up in Chrysler vehicles, which are designed for
ethylene-glycol. Propylene glycol also has poorer heat
transfer characteristics than ethylene glycol. This
can increase cylinder head temperatures under certain conditions.
Propylene-glycol/Ethylene-glycol Mixtures—Should Not Be
Used in Chrysler Vehicles
Propylene-glycol/ethylene-glycolMixturescan
cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors, causing damage to the various cooling system
components. Also, once ethylene-glycol and propylene-glycol based coolants are mixed in the vehicle,
conventional methods of determining freeze point will
not be accurate. Both the refractive index and specific gravity differ between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT
CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any
additional coolant was added to system or after a
coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture
offers optimum engine cooling and protection against
corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C
(-34°F) to -59°C (-50°F). The use of a hydrometer or a
refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a
mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol,
the larger the number of balls that will float, and
higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of
60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer will test the amount of glycol in a
coolant mixture by measuring the amount a beam of
light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene glycol
is the most common new coolant. However, propylene
glycol based coolants do not provide the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant—corrosion
protection will be severely reduced.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT LEVEL
CHECK
NOTE: Do not remove pressure/vent cap for routine
coolant level inspections.
The coolant reserve system provides a quick visual
method for determining the coolant level without
removing the pressure/vent cap. With the enginecold and not running, simply observe the level of
the coolant in the coolant recovery pressure container
(Fig. 2). The coolant level should be between the MIN
and MAX marks.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
FILLING
(1) Remove pressure vent cap from coolant recovery pressure container.
(2) Loosen air bleed screw on the thermostat housing.
(3) Slowly fill the cooling through the coolant
recovery pressure container until a steady stream of
coolant comes out of the air bleed.
(4) Tighten the air bleed screw.
(5) Continue filling coolant recovery pressure container until level reaches the full line.
(6) Without installing the pressure/vent cap, start
and run engine at idle for a couple minutes.
(7) Recheck coolant level and fill as necessary.
(8) Install pressure/vent cap and drive vehicle for
approx. 10 km to reach normal operating temperatures.

COOLANT RECOVERY PRESS
CONTAINER
DESCRIPTION
Thecoolantrecoverypressurecontaineris
mounted in the engine compartment next to the battery. The coolant recovery pressure container is made
of plastic (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
The coolant recovery pressure container works
with the pressure/vent cap to use thermal expansion
and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant
free of trapped air. Provides a convenient and safe
method for checking coolant level and adjusting level
at atmospheric pressure without removing the pressure/vent cap. It also provides some reserve coolant
to cover deaeration, evaporation, or boiling losses.
The engine coolant temperature sensor threads
into a coolant passage in the cylinder head (Fig. 7).
New sensors have sealant applied to the threads.
OPERATION
The coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor (resistance varies inversley with temperature). This means
at cold tempertures its resistance is high so the voltage signal will be high. As coolant temperture
increases, resistance decreases and the signal voltage
will be low. This allows the sensor to provide an analog voltage signal to the ECM.

OPERATION
The thermostat starts to open at 88°C (190°F).
Above this temperature, coolant is allowed to flow to
the radiator. This provides quicker engine warmup
and overall temperature control.
The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
Operating without a thermostat causes other problems. These are: longer engine warmup time, unreliablewarmupperformance,increasedexhaust
emissions and crankcase condensation. This condensation can result in sludge formation.

RADIATOR
DESCRIPTION
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes)
with design features that provide greater strength
along with sufficient heat transfer capabilities to
keep the engine satisfactorily cooled. The radiator
has plastic side tanks and aluminum cooling tubes.
OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using
air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. This
heat is then transferred from the coolant and into
the passing air.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
The cooling system pressure cap is located on the
coolant recovery pressure container. The cap construction includes; stainless steel swivel top, rubber
seals, and retainer, main spring, and a spring loaded
valve (Fig. 19).

6 - EGR VALVE
OPERATION
The cooling system is equipped with a pressure cap
that releases excessive pressure; maintaining a range
of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
The cooling system will operate at higher than
atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure raises the
coolant boiling point thus, allowing increased radiator cooling capacity.
There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap.
This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and
contracting, allowing the coolant to return to cooling
system from coolant reserve system tank by vacuum
through a connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut,
or the coolant recovery hose is pinched, the
radiator hoses will be collapsed on cool down.
Clean the vent valve (Fig. 19) and inspect coolant recovery hose routing, to ensure proper
sealing when boiling point is reached.
The gasket in the cap seals the filler neck, so that
vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to be
drawn back into the radiator from the reserve tank.
If the gasket is dirty or damaged, a vacuum
may not be achieved, resulting is loss of coolant
and eventual overheating due to low coolant
level in radiator and engine.

PRESSURE CAP
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits
off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to end of
the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with
the CoolingSystem Tester 7700.Working the
plunger, bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on the
gauge. If the pressure cap fails to hold pressure of at
least 97 kPa (14 psi), replace the pressure cap.
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal) pressure
relief can be checked by removing the overflow hose
at the radiator filler neck nipple (Fig. 21). Attach the
Radiator Pressure Tool to the filler neck nipple and
pump air into the radiator. Pressure cap upper gasket should relieve at 69-124 kPa (10-18 psi) and hold
pressure at 55 kPa (8 psi) minimum.
CAUTION: The Cooling System Tester Tool is very
sensitive to small air leaks that will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not
have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to the tool. Turn tool
upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm
that cap is bad.
If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned
on Cooling System Tester (Fig. 20), but will not hold
pressure or vacuum when positioned on the filler
neck. Inspect the filler neck and cap top gasket for
irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing
properly.

The cooling system uses spring type hose clamps.
If a spring type clamp replacement is necessary,
replace with the original Mopar威 equipment spring
type clamp.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement
is necessary, use only a original equipment clamp
with matching number or letter (Fig. 23).

entered into the ECM memory. The criteria may be a
range of: engine rpm, engine temperature, time or
other input signals to the ECM. If all of the criteria
for monitoring a system or circuit are met, and a
problem is sensed, then a DTC will be stored in the
ECM memory. It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit may not be entered into the ECM memory, even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen when the monitoring criteria have not
been met. The ECM compares input signal voltages
from each input device with specifications (the established high and low limits of the input range) that
are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within the specifications and other
trouble code criteria are met, a DTC will be stored in
the ECM memory.
ECM OPERATING MODES
As input signals to the ECM change, the ECM
adjusts its response to the output devices. For example, the ECM must calculate a different fuel quantity
and fuel timing for engine idle condition than it
would for a wide open throttle condition. There are
several different modes of operation that determine
how the ECM responds to the various input signals.
The ECM has been programmed to monitor different circuits of the diesel fuel injection system. This
monitoring is called on-board diagnostics. Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trouble code to be
Ignition Switch On (Engine Off)
When the ignition is turned on, the ECM activates
the glow plug relay for a time period that is determined by engine coolant temperature, atmospheric
temperature and battery voltage.
Engine Start-Up Mode
The ECM uses the engine temperature sensor and
the crankshaft position sensor (engine speed) inputs
to determine fuel injection quantity.
Normal Driving Modes
Engine idle, warm-up, acceleration, deceleration
and wide open throttle modes are controlled based on
all of the sensor inputs to the ECM. The ECM uses
these sensor inputs to adjust fuel quantity and fuel
injector timing.
Page 37
8E - 2ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULESRG
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (Continued)
Limp-In Mode
If there is a fault detected with the accelerator
pedal position sensor, the ECM will set the engine
speed at 1100 RPM.
Overspeed Detection Mode
If the ECM detects engine RPM that exceeds 5200
RPM, the ECM will set a DTC in memory and illuminate the MIL until the DTC is cleared.
After-Run Mode
The ECM transfers RAM information to ROM and
performs an Input/Output state check.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The ECM is able to monitor and identify most
driveability related trouble conditions. Some circuits
are directly monitored through ECM feedback circuitry. In addition, the ECM monitors the voltage
state of some circuits and compares those states with
expected values. Other systems are monitored indirectly when the ECM conducts a rationality test to
identify problems. Although most subsytems of the
engine control module are either directly or indirectly
monitored, there may be occasions when diagnostic
trouble codes are not immediately identified. For a
trouble code to set, a specific set of conditions must
occur and unless these conditions occur, a DTC will
not set.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is diagnosed by
following a specific procedure. The diagnostic test
procedure contains step-by-step instruction for determining the cause of the DTC as well as no trouble
code problems. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
HARD CODE
A DTC that comes back within one cycle of the
ignition key is a hard code. This means that the
problem is current every time the ECM/SKIM checks
that circuit or function. Procedures in this manual
verify if the DTC is a hard code at the beginning of
each test. When the fault is not a hard code, an
intermittent test must be performed. NOTE: If the
DRBIII威 displays faults for multiple components (i.e.
ECT, VSS, IAT sensors) identify and check the
shared circuits for possible problems before continuing (i.e. sensor grounds or 5-volt supply circuits).
Refer to the appropriate schematic to identify shared
circuits. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain
Diagnostic Manual for more information.
INTERMITTENT CODE
A DTC that is not current every time the ECM/
SKIM checks the circuit or function is an intermittent code. Most intermittent DTCs are caused by
wiring or connector problems. Problems that come
and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose;
they must be looked for under specific conditions that
causethem.NOTE:Electromagnetic(radio)
interference can cause an intermittent system
malfunction. This interference can interrupt com-
munication between the ignition key transponder and
the SKIM. The following checks may assist you in
identifying a possible intermittent problem:
• Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded
terminals.
• Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look
for chafed, pierced or partially broken wire.
• Refer to hotlines or technical service bulletins
that may apply.
Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diag-
nostic Manual for more information.
ECM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before replacing the ECM for
a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be
sure to check the related component/circuit integrity
for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are
caused by internal failures to components (i.e. relays
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. sensor pullups, drivers and ground circuits). These faults are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one DTC has set. If the DRBIII威 displays
faults for multiple components (i.e.VSS, ECT, Batt
Temp, etc.) identify and check the shared circuits for
possible problems before continuing (i.e. sensor
grounds or 5-volt supply circuits). Refer to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify shared circuits.
Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/ECM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING - DIESEL
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM/ECM for a failed
driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for
failures not detected due to a double fault in the circuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures
are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups,
drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one DTC has set.

GLOW PLUG
DESCRIPTION
Glow plugs are used to help start a cold or cool
engine (Fig. 1). The glow plugs will heat up and glow
to heat the combustion chamber of each cylinder. An
individual glow plug is used for each cylinder. Each
glow plug is threaded into the left side of the cylinder
head below the cylinder head cover/intake manifold.

GLOW PLUG RELAY
DESCRIPTION
There are two glow plug relays. These relays are
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
the engine compartment (Fig. 2).
Fig. 1 GLOW PLUG
OPERATION
Each glow plug will momentarily draw approximately 25 amps of electrical current during the initial key “ON” cycle. This is on a cold or cool engine.
After heating the current draw will drop to approximately 9–12 amps per plug.
Total momentary cuurent draw for all four glow
plugs is approximately 100 amps on a cold engine
dropping to a total of approximately 40 amps after
the plugs are heated.
Electrical operation of the glow plugs is controlled
by two glow plug relays. Each glow plug relay controls two glow plugs. Refer to glow plug relays for
more information.

6 - EGR SOLENOID
OPERATION
When the ignition (key) switch is place in the ON
position, a signal is sent to the ECM relating current
engine coolant temperature. This signal is sent from
the engine coolant temperature sensor.
After receiving this signal, the ECM will determine
if, when and for how long of a period the glow plug
relays should be activated. This is done before, during and after the engine is started. Whenever the
glow plug relays are activated, it will control the 12
volt 100 amp circuit for the operation of the four
glow plugs. Each relay control two glow plugs.
Page 45
8I - 2IGNITION CONTROLRG
GLOW PLUG RELAY (Continued)
The Glow Plug lamp is tied to this circuit. Lamp
operation is also controlled by the ECM.
With a cold engine, the glow plug relays and glow
plugs may be activated for a maximum time of 200
seconds. Refer to the following Glow Plug Control
chart for a temperature/time comparison of the glow
plug relay operation.
In this chart, Pre-Heat and Post-Heat times are
mentioned. Pre-Heat is the amount of time the glow
plug relay control circuit is activated when the ignition (key) is switched ON, without the engine running. Post-Heat is the amount of time the glow plug
relay control circuit is activated after the engine is
operated. The Glow Plug lamp will not be activated
during the post-heat cycle.

OPERATION
The CMP sensor is a hall effect switch. A tooth
made of a ferromagnetic material is attached to the
camshaft. When this tooth passes the CMP sensor an
electronic signal is created. This signal is then sent
to the engine control module (ECM). This signal is
used by the ECM to determine which cylinder has
just entered its compression phase.
(3) Disconnect camshaft position sensor electrical
connector (Fig. 4).
CAMSHAFT POSITION

VALVE REFACING
(1) Use a valve refacing machine to reface the
intake and exhaust valves to the specified angle.
(2) After refacing, a margin of at least 4.52-4.49
mm (.178-.177 inch) must remain (Fig. 12). If the
margin is less than 4.49 mm (.177 inch), the valve
must be replaced.
VALVE SEAT REFACING
(1) Install a pilot of the correct size in the valve
guide bore. Reface the valve seat to the specified
angle with a good dressing stone. Remove only
enough metal to provide a smooth finish.
(2) Use tapered stones to obtain the specified seat
width when required.
VALVE STAND DOWN
Valve stand down is to maintain the adequate compression ratio.
(1) Invert cylinder head.
(2) Fit each valve to its respective valve guide.
(3) Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check
valve head stand down: Inlet valve head stand down
1.08 to 1.34 mm (.042 to .052 ins.) and exhaust valve
stand down .99 to 1.25 mm (.035 to .049 ins.).
(4) If valve head stand down is not in accordance
with above, discard original valves, check stand down
with new valves and recut valve seat inserts to
obtain correct stand down.
VALVE GUIDES
(1) Valve Guides height requirement.
