FUEL INJECTION - 2.8L DIESEL

OPERATION 

SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS 

OPERATION 

A leaking fuel injector can cause excessive pre-ignition knock, poor engine performance, excessive black 
smoke in the exhaust, poor fuel economy and rough engine idle. If the fuel injector needle valve does not 
operate properly, the engine may misfire and produce low power. 

The Fuel Injection System is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). If the ECM senses a fault in a 
monitored fuel system circuit, the ECM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), which can retrieved with a 
Scan Tool. The On-Board Diagnostic functions of the ECM must be used to test the system when diagnosing 
mechanical or electrical problems with the Fuel Injection System. In addition to diagnosing electrical faults, the 
Scan Tool has the following functions to test the mechanical operation of the injectors: 

Compression Test  

Fuel Correction Test  

Balance Test  

Kill Test  

For Fuel System DTC information see refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Tests in DIAGNOSTIC CODE 
INDEX .
