INTRODUCTION

NOTE: In this article, Engine Control Module (ECM) may also be referred to as Engine Control Unit (ECU).
Before testing separate components or systems, perform procedures in the F – BASIC TESTING – TURBO article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a trouble code if they malfunction, also see the G – TESTS W/CODES – TURBO article.
NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with
a minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS

TURBOCHARGER

Preliminary Checks
1) Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Turn off engine. If turbine shaft does not stop rotating shortly after engine stops, remove intake hose from compressor housing.
2) Verify compressor wheel rotates freely. Ensure compressor wheel does not scrape against compressor housing when wheel is pushed radially or axially.
Basic Adjustment Of Pressure Regulator Push Rod
1) Remove locking circlip from end of push rod. Connect Pressure Gauge (999-5230) and Pressure Tester (999-5496) to pressure regulator. See Fig. 1. Increase pressure to 1.7-1.9 psi (.12-.13 kg/cm ). Press wastegate lever against turbine housing, closing wastegate valve.

2) Turn ignition off. To check relay ground, connect ohmmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 2. See Fig. 4.
Ohmmeter should indicate about zero ohms. If ohmmeter does not indicate about zero ohms, check wiring between fuel pump relay and ground.
3) To check fuel pump relay voltage supply, connect voltmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 1. See Fig. 4 . Turn ignition on. Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check wiring between fuel pump relay and fuse No. 2.
4) Turn ignition off. Connect ohmmeter between ground and relay terminal No. 3. See Fig. 4. About 1.5 ohms should be present. If about 1.5 ohms are not present, check resistance at fuel pump
connector to determine whether fault is in pump or wiring.
5) To check fuel injection control signal to fuel pump relay, connect voltmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 4. See Fig. 4. Operate starter motor. If voltmeter indicates about 3 volts, replace relay. If voltage is not to specification, check wiring between fuel pump relay and ECU. If wiring is okay, see procedures under POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS.

FUEL SYSTEM

NOTE: For fuel system pressure testing, see the
F – BASIC TESTING – TURBO article.
WARNING: Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. Cover fuel line connector with shop towel to absorb any fuel spray.

FUEL DELIVERY

Fuel Pressure Regulator
1) Install Connector (998-9725) to Fuel Pressure Gauge (999-
5011). Using Adapter (999-5479), connect pressure gauge to valve on fuel distribution manifold. Turn valve in direction of adapter. Connect other gauge connection to Fuel Drainage Unit (981-2270, 2273 and 2282).
2) Remove electrical distribution unit cover in engine compartment. Remove fuel pump relay. See Fig. 3. Connect jumper wire between fuel pump relay terminals No. 1 and 3. Turn ignition on. Fuel pump should start. If system pressure is 43.5 psi (300 kPa), go to step 5).
3) If system pressure is too high, remove jumper wire. Disconnect pressure regulator return and vacuum lines and blow through lines. If both lines are okay, replace regulator and recheck pressure.
4) If system pressure is too low, squeeze return line and ensure pressure rises. Do not allow pressure to exceed 87 psi (600 kPa). If pressure rises quickly, pump and line are okay. Replace pressure regulator and recheck system pressure. If pressure rises slowly, check for blocked fuel filter, fuel pump strainer or fuel lines. If pressure does not rise, replace pump.
5) If system pressure was 43.5 psi (300 kPa) in step 2), check operation of pressure regulator by connecting Vacuum Pump (999-
5843) to pressure regulator. Apply vacuum to regulator. Ensure system pressure falls by same amount as regulator pressure.
6) Turn ignition off. Remove jumper wire between fuel pump relay terminals No. 1 and 3. Reinstall fuel pump relay. Check fuel system residual pressure. Pressure should not fall below 20 psi (200 kPa) in less than 20 minutes. If fuel pressure falls faster, check injectors, pressure regulator, and fuel pump. Disconnect Pressure Gauge (999-5011).

FUEL CONTROL

Fuel Injectors
Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel injector connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between injector terminals. With injector temperature at about 68 F (20 C), resistance should be about
14.5 ohms. Replace injector as necessary.

IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect IAC valve connector. Connect an ohmmeter between connector terminals No. 1 (Blue/Black
wire) and No. 2 (Blue/White wire), then between terminals No. 2 (Green wire) and No. 3 (Green wire). If resistance is not 9-14 ohms, replace IAC valve. If resistance is 9-14 ohms, IAC valve is okay. Check IAC circuits. See the G – TESTS W/CODES – TURBO article.
