Circuit DescriptionThe crankshaft position and camshaft position sensors are Hall effect type sensors. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the position sensor and a return circuit. As the teeth on the crankshaft speed ring or the dimples in the back of the camshaft gear move past the position sensor, a signal is generated on the position sensor signal circuit. The ECM interprets this signal and converts it to an engine speed. A missing tooth on the crankshaft gear is used by the ECM to determine the position of the engine. Component LocationThe crankshaft position and...

Circuit DescriptionThe engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volt supply to the engine camshaft speed/position sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The camshaft speed/position sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the camshaft speed/position sensor signal circuit. This sensor generates a signal to the ECM as the camshaft speed indicator lobe moves past the sensor. The ECM interprets this signal into an engine speed reading and determines engine position. This sensor is used as a backup sensor if the primary engine crankshaft speed/position signal is lost. Component LocationThe...

Circuit DescriptionThe engine control module (ECM) monitors engine operating conditions, including the reading of fuel rail pressure, and changes the flow command to either increase (OPEN the fuel pump actuator) or decrease (CLOSE the fuel pump actuator) the fuel supply to the high-pressure pump. Component LocationThere are two fuel filters and several original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplied components that can impact this fault code. The pressure-side fuel filter is typically mounted directly to the engine, but can also be remote mounted. The suction-side fuel filters and other OEM supplied components are OEM specific. The OEM is required to supply a...

Circuit DescriptionThe exhaust gas temperature is calculated by the engine control module (ECM). The exhaust gas temperature is derived by the ECM, based on engine operating conditions such as intake manifold air temperature, engine speed, injection timing, intake manifold pressure, and fuel flow. Component LocationThere is not a physical exhaust gas temperature sensor in the system. The exhaust gas temperature is a calculation of exhaust gas temperature before the turbocharger, and is also known as turbine intake temperature. Conditions for Running the DiagnosticsThis diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running. Conditions for Setting the Fault CodesThe Engine Control Module...
