DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: The fuel system may be under a constant pressure (even with the engine
off). Before servicing any fuel system hoses, fittings, lines, or most
components, fuel system pressure must be released. Refer to FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE .
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is due to the higher fuel
pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace these
lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped: The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special rolled edge
construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only these
rolled edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause
high-pressure fuel leaks.
A vehicle that is not properly tuned and maintained cannot be expected to perform at its maximum efficiency
and can have an adverse effect on fuel economy. The following recommendations will ensure that the vehicle is
performing at its maximum efficiency:
Use the recommended motor oil grade. Using the manufacturer's recommended grade of Mopar®
motor oil can improve fuel mileage by 1-2%. Mopar® motor oil labeled "Energy Conserving" contains
friction-reducing additives.
Check and replace air filters. Replacing a clogged air filter with a new Mopar® air filter can improve
fuel mileage by as much as 10%.
Keep the engine tuned. Repairing a vehicle that is noticeably out of tune can improve fuel mileage by an
average of 4%. Maintaining a vehicle and repairing problems, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can
improve mileage by as much as 40%.
Keep tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can lower fuel mileage by 0.4% for every 1 psi drop in
pressure of all four tires.
INJECTOR(S), FUEL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
1 - FUEL INJECTOR
2 - NOZZLE
3 - TOP (FUEL ENTRY)
OPERATION
OPERATION
The fuel injectors (1) are electrical solenoids. The injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at the
nozzle end. When electric current is supplied to the injector, the armature and needle move a short distance
against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pressure, a fine spray is
developed in the shape of a pencil stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air entering the
combustion chamber.
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (3) is attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors (2) are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off.
Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width
based on various inputs it receives.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) (4) sensor is mounted into the right rear side of the cylinder block. It is
positioned and bolted into a machined hole.
OPERATION
OPERATION
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor. The sensor
generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM interprets the sensor
input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position, along with other inputs, to
determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a certain
distance from it.
A tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (3) at its outer edge .
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the
PCM.

OPERATION
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon based
sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion
chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When
manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt. Reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold
pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0-15 psi, the voltage
changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is provided through the
low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important function
of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level or
at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with altitude. It will also help to correct for varying
barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up,
barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it
sees, it knows the current barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the
voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at key-on.
The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range can be
obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a very
different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any time the PCM
sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) angle and RPM, it will update
barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its calculations more
effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
Manifold pressure
Barometric pressure
Engine load
Injector pulse-width
Spark-advance programs
Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
Idle speed
Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a diaphragm.
The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes, the diaphragm moves
causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is exposed to stress, its resistance
changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor
also contains electronics that condition the signal and provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the reading
stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; meaning as pressure changes,
voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea
level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon
an object. At sea level on a standard day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every
100 feet of altitude, barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric
pressure from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIFICATIONS - CNG
TORQUE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION-CNG
The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel system is equipped with the 5.7 liter engine.
The CNG vehicle still utilizes gasoline. The engine operates using gasoline when the temperature is below 18°C
(64.4°F) before switching to CNG. The engine will switch back to gasoline when the CNG system falls below
the low fuel threshold.
CNG is in the cylinder tanks (4) and is always under high pressure even when the vehicle is at rest. With the
CNG fuel system under extreme pressure, the use of a fuel pump is not required in the CNG system.
The Ram 2500 CNG engine starts and runs on CNG for all starts, when the engine coolant temperature is at or
above 18°C (64.4°F). To make sure the gasoline does not get stale, the PCM uses a "Minimum Gasoline
Consumption" feature. This feature will consume one tank of gasoline about every 8000 miles regardless of
tank size. The routine will force the engine to run on gasoline until a programmed amount of gasoline is used.
The routine will never run more than once per ignition cycle.
When the engine coolant temperature is between approximately -18°C (0.0°F) and +18°C (64.4°F), the Ram
2500 CNG will start and run on gasoline until these conditions are meet:
If a gas consumption event is required during a cold-start ignition switch cycle, the amount of gasoline
consumed during operation of the Minimum Gasoline Consumption routine will be reduced by the amount of
When a start occurs with the ambient temperature below approximately -18C (0.0°F), the gasoline consumed
after the cold start will exceed the amount required by the Minimum Gasoline Consumption feature. The routine
will not run during that key cycle.
However, certain high-load conditions may cause the fuel system to switch from CNG back to gasoline. For
example, the system will switch to gasoline operation whenever the driver keeps the engine at wide open
throttle for an extended period of time.
Because of the high pressure. A pressure regulator (2) is used to control the CNG entering the fuel rail to a
lower consistent pressure.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
BEFORE REMOVAL: Due to the special service requirements required for these tubes, lines or fittings,
also see WARNINGS and SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Due to the high-pressure requirements of the CNG system, special stainless steel, SAE straight thread, single-
ferrule, compression-type fuel tube fittings are used. These will connect all fuel tubes and components on the
high-pressure side of the system (inlet side of the fuel pressure regulator).
WARNING: Due to the extreme high pressures of the CNG fuel system, certain
precautions must be taken when handling or servicing fuel tubes or fuel
tube fittings:
Always check and remove any burrs from the end of tubes before
installing fittings.
After some types of high-pressure fittings are tightened, a go no-go
gauge inspection tool must be used. This is to be sure they are
properly drawn up (tightened).
Do not attempt to remove or tighten a fitting with the fuel system
under pressure.
Surface finish of the fuel tube is very important for proper sealing.
Fuel tubes that are oval shaped, have any depressions, heavy
scratches or raised portions should not be used.
Never attempt to force a fuel tube into a fitting or ferrule. The fuel
tube should fit easily into fittings/ferrules if they are not damaged.
The fuel tubes on the CNG system are under extreme high-pressure.
Never use steel, copper, brass or any other material as a substitute
for the original seamless stainless steel fuel tubes.
When removing/installing a fitting, always use a backup wrench on
the fitting body to prevent any fuel tube twist.

OPERATION
OPERATION
The shut-off solenoid relay is used in place of the conventional fuel pump relay. It is used to electrically control
operation of the high-pressure fuel shut-off solenoid. The solenoid is located within the fuel pressure regulator
and the manual control valves on the cylinder tanks.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the high-pressure fuel shut-off solenoid relay through a ground
path.
The PCM turns the ground path off when the ignition switch is in the OFF position. When the ignition switch is
in the ON or CRANK position, the PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor
signals to determine engine speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM does not receive the necessary
crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor signals when the ignition switch is in the Run position
(indicating the engine has not started and is not running), it will de-energize the relay.

DESCRIPTION
The shut down solenoids are located in the manual valves on the CNG cylinder tanks.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The manual valves at the cylinder tanks house the emergency shut down solenoids. The solenoids remain closed
when de-energized. A relay located next to the fuel regulator, controls the applied voltage to the solenoid during
key on condition. When voltage is applied. The solenoid is energized allowing the valve to overcome the tank
pressure. When the valve is de-energized. A spring and tank pressure aid in sealing the valve against the valve
seat allowing for a secure seal.
When filling of the cylinder tank occurs. The pressure from the fill station will over come the one way valves
spring pressure, allowing the CNG to enter the tanks with out restriction.
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The one-way check valves are non repairable. If the check valves are faulty.
They must be replaced.
Two different one-way check valves are used with the CNG fuel system. One of the valves is located integrally
within the fuel fill receptacle.
The one-way check valve (7) is part of the fuel fill receptacle. A spring (8) holds the valve against a seal (6).
The filler receptacle holds a 50 micron filter that is replaceable by removing the seal (1) and the snap ring (2).
The filter (3) can be removed with a small mechanics pick. For Installation/Removal procedures of the filler
receptacle. Refer to RECEPTACLE, FUEL FILL, REMOVAL.
The other one-way check valve (5) is located between the cylinder tank near the manual (master) shut-off valve
(2). For Installation/Removal procedures. Refer to VALVE, MANUAL SHUT-OFF, REMOVAL.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The one way check valve allows the on-coming fuel to pass through the receptacle. The valve closes when there
is no pressure introduced. Both valves are used to keep fuel from escaping from the fuel fill receptacle (fuel
supply will only travel toward fuel cylinders).
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A 1/4 turn, manual (master) (2) and the cylinder tanks shut-off valves (1, 4) are located in the cylinder tank
cover access hatch.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The 1/4 turn master turning valve is a ball style valve used as a first response safety device. The valve can be
easily be shut off by rotating the valve in a clockwise position so that the valve lever is parallel with the
cylinder tanks. When in the open position. The valve is parallel with the bracket that the valve is mounted to.
NON REPLACEABLE
If a manual valve on the cylinder tank is in need or repair. The Cylinder tank
must be removed and then sent to a certified technician.
The manual valves that are located on the cylinder tanks also house the one-way check valve, which control the
CNG pressure. The pressure in the tank acts against the one-way check valve to keep the valve closed unless the
applied voltage acts upon the internal solenoid. The solenoid over comes the tank pressure to allow the CNG to
flow through out the fuel system. When the CNG cylinder tanks are being filled. The on coming pressure is able
to over come the one-way check valve allowing the cylinder tanks to be filled.
The manual valves on the cylinder tanks house built-in safety devices:
To insure there will not be an over charging of the tanks. A mechanical burst disc has been implemented. If the
tank pressure reaches 4800-5000 PSI. The pressure will over come the disc and vent the pressure back to the
proper tank capacity.
Also added to the valve is a thermally controlled valve. When the temperature of the valve reaches 110C°
(230F°). The vent's core will melt, allowing the CNG to vent from the tanks.

INJECTOR(S), FUEL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) style fuel injectors and the standard gasoline style fuel injector work and
perform the same. Both injectors utilizes:
Upper O-ring
Electrical Connector
Body Externally and Internally
Lower O-ring
The CNG injectors have a more noticeable internal ticking do to the absence of a liquid, to aid in muffling the
internal solenoid. This is considered normal injector operation.
The CNG injector pulse width stays energized longer in order to maintain the proper engine performance.
Especial during the liquid fuel side switching over to CNG fuel side.
OPERATION
FUEL INJECTOR
1 - FUEL INJECTOR
2 - NOZZLE
3 - TOP (FUEL ENTRY)
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (1) is attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at the nozzle
end. When electric current is supplied to the injector, the armature and needle move a short distance against a
spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pressure, a fine spray is developed in
the shape of a pencil stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air entering the combustion
chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off.
Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width
based on various inputs it receives.
PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just above the intake valve
ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped with an
attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector with its respective cylinder
number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off.
Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width
based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-down
the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is not running.
This occurs after the engine has not been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width) based on various inputs.

DESCRIPTION
WARNING: High-pressure fuel lines deliver diesel fuel under extreme pressure from
the injection pump to the fuel injectors. This may be as high as 180, 000
kPa (26, 107 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high-pressure
fuel leaks. Inspect for high-pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard.
High fuel injection pressure can cause personal injury if contact is made
The fuel system used on the Cummins engine is an electronically controlled, Bosch HPCR (High-Pressure
Common Rail) system. The HPCR system consists of five main components:
Accelerator Pedal
Air Cleaner Housing/Element
Check Valve Banjo Fitting at Rear of Cylinder Head
Fuel Connector Tubes
Fuel Drain Manifold (passage)
Fuel Drain Valve (at filter)
Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Fuel Heater
Fuel Heater Relay
Fuel Transfer Pump Relay
Fuel Level (gauge) Sending Unit
Fuel Pressure Limiting Valve
Fuel Tank
Fuel Tank Module (containing a fuel gauge sending unit, separate fuel filter located at bottom of tank
module, and fuel transfer pump)
Fuel Tank Filler/Vent Tube Assembly
Fuel Tank Filler Tube Cap
Fuel Tubes/Lines/Hoses
High-Pressure Fuel Injector Lines
In-Tank Fuel Filter (at bottom of fuel tank module)
Low-Pressure Fuel Supply Lines
Low-Pressure Fuel Return Lines
Overflow Valve
Quick-Connect Fuel Line Fittings
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Located in Cab
Water Draining (maintenance)
The fuel injection pump supplies high pressure to the fuel rail independent of engine speed. This high pressure
fuel is then accumulated in the fuel rail. High pressure fuel is constantly supplied to the injectors by the fuel rail.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the injectors.
Fuel enters the system from the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump, which is located inside of the fuel tank and
attached to the fuel tank module (the fuel transfer pump is no longer attached to the engine). Fuel is forced
through the fuel filter element and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump, which is attached to the rear of the
fuel injection pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump is a low-pressure pump and produce pressures ranging from
551.5 kPa (80 psi) to 1241 kPa (180) psi. Fuel then enters the fuel injection pump. Low pressure fuel is then
supplied to the FCA (Fuel Control Actuator).
The FCA is an electronically controlled solenoid valve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel that enters the
high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing the FCA based on a demanded fuel pressure. The FPS
(Fuel Pressure Sensor) on the fuel rail monitors the actual fuel pressure and provides it as an input to the ECM.
When the actuator is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied to the fuel injection pump. Any
fuel that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the overflow valve. The overflow valve regulates how
much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the tank through the drain
manifold.
Fuel entering the injection pump is pressurized to between 200-1800 bar (2900-26107 psi) by three radial
pumping chambers. The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
Fig. 238: Identifying Drain Valve, Drain Hose, Mounting Screws, Sensor Harness Connector & Filter
Housing
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
The housing drain valve (4) serves two purposes. One is to partially drain the filter housing of excess water.
The other is to drain the housing for fuel filter or Water In Fuel (WIF) sensor replacement.
The filter housing (1) should be partially drained whenever the WIF warning lamp remains illuminated. (Note
that lamp will be illuminated for approximately two seconds when ignition key is initially placed in ON position
for a bulb check).
1. A drain hose (6) is located at the bottom of drain valve. Place drain pan under drain hose.
2. With engine not running, Route the fuel drain hose to an appropriate container and rotate drain valve (4)
one quarter turn counter clockwise to open it. Also loosen the fuel filter housing cover a 1/2 turn and
allow the fuel to drain from the fuel filter housing for two minutes. Rotate the drain valve (4) clockwise
one quarter turn to close it.
NOTE: Do not use any chemical cleaners or solvents on any fuel system lines or metal
components. Metal lines, rails and tubes have a coating that will be damaged by
these cleaners.
NOTE: Before cleaning the fuel system, perform the Lift Pump Flow test to determine if
the Lift Pump was damaged and will require replacement while the Fuel Tank is
out of the vehicle. The procedure and specifications can be found in the
CHECKING THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM test procedure . Refer to DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING, 6.7L .
9. Inspect the Lift Pump Module screen for extreme dirt accumulation. Clean/flush the Lift Pump Module.
Replace if necessary. (Most can be cleaned).
10. Install vent tubes on the rollover valves on the Fuel Tank to prevent water/dirt intrusion.
11. Reinstall the tank and 10 to 15 gallons of clean diesel fuel. Flash any controllers to the latest available
software version (PCM/TIPM/CCN). Refer to TANK, FUEL, INSTALLATION.
12. Clean fuel filter housing and install new (latest number available) Mopar Fuel Filter.
13. Pour half a bottle (approximately 15 ounces) of Mopar Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner P/N 68194640AA
into the Fuel Tank with the clean fuel.
14. Warm engine while checking for leaks or running concerns. Correct concerns as necessary.
15. Drive the truck a short distance (parking lot) and stop several times to agitate the cleaner/fuel mixture in
the fuel tank. (Slosh fuel mixture in tank).
16. Monitor the scan tool and validate engine has reached operating temperature of 180°F (82°C).
17. Enable "Injector High Pressure Override" 3 times. This will stress the injectors and High Pressure
Delivery Pump and circulate the cleaner/fuel mixture through the entire system.
18. Safely drive truck somewhat aggressively. Perform three times, wide open throttle 0 to 60 hard
accelerations in a safe area to circulate cleaner and allow fuel to flush/clean injectors.
19. Verify repair by performing the Diesel Aftertreatment Validation - 6.7L procedure. Refer to DIESEL
AFTERTREATMENT VALIDATION- 6.7L .
A certain amount of air becomes trapped in the fuel system when fuel system components on the supply and/or
high-pressure side are serviced or replaced. Fuel system priming is accomplished using the electric fuel transfer
(lift) pump.
Servicing or replacing fuel system components will not require fuel system priming.
The fuel transfer (lift) pump is self-priming: When the key is first turned on (without cranking engine), the
pump operates for approximately 1 to 2 second and then shuts off (Note: When ambient temperatures are cold
enough to cause the intake air heaters to operate, the fuel lift pump will operate during the entire intake air pre-
heat cycle). The pump will also operate for up to 25 seconds after the starter is quickly engaged, and then
disengaged without allowing the engine to start. The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine
stops running.
1. Turn key to CRANK position and quickly release key to ON position before engine starts. This will
CAUTION: Do not engage the starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time.
Allow two minutes between cranking intervals.
5. Perform previous fuel priming procedure steps using fuel transfer pump. Be sure fuel is present at fuel
tank.
6. Crank the engine for 30 seconds at a time to allow fuel system to prime.
WARNING: The fuel injection pump supplies extremely high fuel pressure to each
individual injector through the high-pressure lines. Fuel under this
amount of pressure can penetrate the skin and cause personal injury.
Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing. Do not loosen fuel
fittings while engine is running.
NOTE: Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel tank: using a diagnostic
scan tool to activate the fuel pump relay and drain the fuel tank, or remove the
fuel pump. Due to a one-way check valve installed into the fuel fill opening
fitting at the tank, the tank cannot be drained conventionally at the fill cap.
CONVENTIONAL PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the fuel supply line quick-connect fitting at the fuel filter. Refer to FITTING, QUICK
CONNECT .
2. Install the appropriate Fuel Line Adapters/Fitting from the (special tool #8978A, Decay Tool, Fuel).
Route the opposite end of this hose to an diesel fuel draining station. Using a scan tool, activate the fuel
pump and drain the tank until empty.
ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE
NOTE: If electric fuel pump is not operating, fuel must be drained through fuel fill
fitting at tank. Refer to following procedures:
2. Remove the fuel pump module. Refer to MODULE, FUEL PUMP, REMOVAL.
3. After the fuel pump module has been removed, drain fuel tank into an approved diesel fuel draining
station.
OVERVIEW
This procedure explains the proper method for extracting a fuel sample and specific methods to inspect for
contamination of any kind. The contamination we are looking for on the clean side of the Fuel Filter is very
small. We don't say dirt because it may be metal, water, plastic or any other contamination, other than clean
diesel fuel. The smallest we can see with naked eye is about 30 Microns. Our Fuel Filters have 5 Micron rating.
The only way we can see this size of contamination is to properly collect it and view it. The fuel sample needs
to be taken from the clean side of the system. In order to get a good clean side sample to inspect, perform the
following procedure exactly:
Required Equipment
ONE LITER GLASS MEASURING CUP
FOUR FEET OF CLEAR, FLEXIBLE TUBING, 5/16 ID (available at the local hardware)
MULTI-BULB LED FLASHLIGHT
HPDP FUEL RETURN HOSE
BRAKE CLEANER SPRAY
SELF LIGHTING MAGNIFIER (Optional)
All items used for collecting fuel MUST be cleaned with clean diesel fuel, brake clean, and air
ONLY. Failure to clean these items will contaminate the fuel sample. Do Not use towels to wipe out
the measuring cup.

3 SLOWLY TILT THE CUP TOWARD YOU
1. While the engine is warming up, clean the clear tubing with clean diesel fuel and the glass
measuring cup using brake clean and compressed air only. Do not use a towel.
NOTE: Do not use brake clean or other chemicals on any vehicle parts for
the fuel handling system such as lines, pumps or fittings.
2. Monitor the scan tool until the vehicle has reached an operating temperature of 180°F (82°C).
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Remove the HPDP return line quick disconnect from the fitting located at the front of the Fuel
Filter housing at the banjo bolt joining the Pressure Limiting Valve return (Connection A in the fuel
system connections figure above).
NOTE: The fuel flowing from the return of the High Pressure Delivery Pump
(HPDP) MUST NOT be part of our sample. We are looking primarily
for injector return fuel. The easiest way is to eliminate the HPDP
return line and pull the injector return flow sample from the filter
mount, on the front side.

5. Cap off the male fitting that the HPDP return line was disconnected from.
6. Disconnect the quick connect fitting for the fuel return line located on the back side of the Fuel
Filter housing (Connection B in the fuel system connections figure above).
7. Attach the four foot length of 5/16" clear tubing to this exposed male fitting and orientate it on a
downhill angle in to a drain pan. This will be your sample source hose.
8. Using a hose with two male fittings, attach one end to the HPDP return line disconnected in step 5.
Connect the other end to the fuel return line disconnected in step 7. This will return the High
Pressure Pump return flow back to the tank while collecting the sample.
9. Start the engine, and continue monitoring the coolant temperature to maintain the 180°F (82°C).
10. Using the scan tool, navigate to PCM > System Tests > Fuel Pressure Override Test and select
start.
11. Initiate the Fuel Pressure Override Test two consecutive times to further warm the fuel and allow
the tubing to be thoroughly rinsed clean.
12. Start the Fuel Pressure Override Test a third time. At mid stream of the test move the clear tube to
the measuring cup. Collect a sample of approximately 1/4 inch of fuel in the measuring cup.
13. Turn the engine off.
NOTE: Follow these next steps exactly to inspect the sample for
contamination.
14. Allow the sample to sit for 10 minutes in a dust free environment to allow the debris to settle to the
bottom. It is important to not allow any air born contaminates to get into the fuel sample. Do
not shake, swirl, or agitate the fuel in any way. The contamination should settle to the bottom.
15. Hold the measuring cup (2) by the handle in one hand and shine the LED flashlight (1) through the
bottom of the container toward the handle of the cup.
16. Slowly tilt the measuring cup (2) toward you and keep the LED flashlight (1) at the trailing edge
of the fuel as it comes down the bottom of the cup and inspect for contamination.
Any dirt in the fuel will collect and be pulled by this trailing edge of fuel (Number one in
the last figure) . It may be any color and sometimes looks as though the fuel is cloudy. This
is the contamination. .
If you see ANYTHING AT ALL , the fuel is contaminated.

The Fuel Heater 1 is located in the fuel filter/water separator housing assembly and is located on the engine.
The Fuel Heater 2 is located in the fuel filter/water separator housing assembly and is located on the frame rail.
The fuel heater is not a serviceable component. If diagnosis has lead you to replace the fuel heater then the
whole fuel filter/water separator housing must be replaced.
OPERATION
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from waxing during cold weather operation.
When the fuel temperature is below 32° F (0° C), the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the heater
element warming the fuel. When the fuel temperature is above 64° F (18° C), the sensor stops current flow to
the heater element.
Battery voltage to operate the fuel heater element is supplied from the ignition switch and through a relay the
PDC. The fuel heater element and "relay in PDC" are not computer controlled. The heater element
operates on 12 volts, 300 watts at 0° F (-18° C).
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from waxing during cold weather operation.
When the fuel temperature is below 32° F (0° C), the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the heater

The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from waxing during cold weather operation.
NOTE: The fuel heater element, "relay in the PDC" is not controlled by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
A malfunctioning fuel heater can cause a wax build-up in the fuel filter/water separator. Wax build-up in the
filter/separator can cause engine starting problems and prevent the engine from revving up. It can also cause
blue or white fog-like exhaust. If the heater is not operating in cold temperatures, the engine may not operate
due to fuel waxing.
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of fuel filter housing and internal to the fuel filter housing.
The heater assembly is equipped with a built-in fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. When fuel temperature drops below 32° F (0° C), the sensor allows current to flow to built-in
heater element to warm fuel. When fuel temperature rises above 64° F (18° C), the sensor stops current flow to
heater element (circuit is open).
Voltage to operate fuel heater element is supplied from ignition switch, through "relay in the PDC", to fuel
temperature sensor and on to fuel heater element.
The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts at 0 °F (-18° C). As temperature increases, power
requirements decrease.
A minimum of 7 volts is required to operate the fuel heater. The resistance value of the heater element is less
than 1 ohm (cold) and up to 1000 ohms warm.
TESTING
NOTE: The Fuel Heater is not a separately serviceable component. If diagnostics have
led you to replace this sensor, then the whole fuel filter housing assembly (3)
needs to be changed.

OPERATION
OPERATION
The Fuel Drain Circuit incorporates several sources of fuel return. Fuel travels from the fuel tank (via the fuel
transfer pump) and is forced through the fuel filter. This fuel then travels into the fuel injection pump. It then
goes to a fuel drain line and returns back to the fuel tank.
The fuel that flows to the fuel pump is pressurized by a gear pump and internally transferred to the fuel injection
pump. At this point the fuel is channeled into two passages. One passage sends fuel to the FCA (Fuel Control
Actuator). The other passage sends fuel to the cascade overflow valve. The overflow valve sends some fuel to a
lubrication passage. The rest of the fuel is sent to a drain passage which connects to an external fuel line.
Fuel that travels through the FCA is pressurized by the fuel injection pump and sent through an external high
pressure fuel line to the fuel rail. At the fuel rail, fuel is sent to the fuel injectors. If fuel pressure in the fuel rail
becomes excessive, the pressure limiting valve opens and sends fuel through an external fuel line.
At the fuel injector, fuel that is not injected is used for lubrication of the fuel injectors. This fuel then travels
through an internal passage that is connected to the rear of the cylinder head, an then into an external fuel line.
This line is connected to the vehicles fuel return line, and returns excess fuel back and into the fuel tank.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A Robert Bosch high-pressure fuel injection pump is used. The pump is attached to the back of the timing gear
housing at the left/front side of the engine.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The fuel injection pump supplies high pressure to the fuel rail independent of engine speed. This high pressure
is then accumulated in the fuel rail. High pressure fuel is constantly supplied to the injectors by the fuel rail. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the injectors.
Fuel enters the system from the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump, which is located in the fuel tank. Fuel is forced
through the fuel filter element and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump, which is attached to the rear of the
fuel injection pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump is a low-pressure pump and produce a minimum pressure of
440 kPa (64 psi). Fuel then enters the fuel injection pump. Low pressure fuel is then supplied to the Fuel
Control Actuator (FCA).
The FCA is an electronically controlled solenoid valve. The PCM controls the amount of fuel that enters the
high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing the FCA based on a demanded fuel pressure. The Fuel
Pressure Sensor (FPS) on the fuel rail provides the actual fuel pressure. When the actuator is opened, the
maximum amount of fuel is being supplied to the fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does not enter the injection
pump is directed to the cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve regulates how much excess fuel is
used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the tank through the drain manifold.
Fuel entering the injection pump is pressurized to between 200 -1800 bar (2901 - 26107 psi) by three radial
pumping chambers. The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is part of the fuel pump module. The fuel pump module is located in the
fuel tank. The 12-volt electric pump is operated and controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM controls a relay in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) for transfer pump operation.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply (transfer) a low-pressure fuel source: from the fuel tank,
through the fuel filter/water separator and to the fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is raised to a high-
pressure by the fuel injection pump for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors. Check valves within the
pump, control direction of fuel flow and prevent fuel bleed-back during engine shut down.
With the engine running, the pump has a 100 percent duty-cycle.
The transfer pump is self-priming: When the key is first turned on (without cranking engine), the pump will
operate for approximately 2 seconds and then shut off (Note: When ambient temperatures are cold enough to
cause the intake air heaters to operate, the fuel lift pump will operate during the entire intake air pre-heat cycle).
The pump will also operate for up to 25 seconds after the starter is engaged, and then disengaged and the engine
is not running. The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine stops running.
The fuel volume of the transfer pump will always provide more fuel than the fuel injection pump requires.
Excess fuel is returned from the injection pump through an overflow valve, and then back to the fuel tank.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
For 2013 model year there are two Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor being used. The primary one is located on the
engine, and the secondary one is located on the frame rail near the fuel tank.

The primary WIF sensor (3) is located on the bottom of the fuel filter/water separator housing (1).
The secondary WIF sensor (3) is located on the bottom of the fuel filter (1).
OPERATION
OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/water
separator. As the water level in the filter/separator increases, the resistance across the Water in Fuel (WIF)
sensor decreases. This decrease in resistance is sent as a signal to the PCM and compared to a high water
standard value. Once the value reaches 30 to 40 kilohms, the PCM will activate the water-in-fuel warning lamp
through CCD bus circuits. This all takes place when the ignition key is initially put in the ON position. The
PCM continues to monitor the input while the engine is running.

HIGH-PRESSURE LINES
CAUTION: The high-pressure fuel lines must be held securely in the brace. The lines
cannot contact each other or other components. Do not attempt to weld
high-pressure fuel lines or to repair lines that are damaged. If lines are
ever kinked or bent, they must be replaced. Use only the recommended
lines when replacement of high-pressure fuel line is necessary.
CAUTION: Do not squeeze low pressure fuel lines with pliers, vice grips, or similar
tools as this will damage to the fuel line.
High-pressure fuel lines deliver fuel (under pressure) of up to approximately 180, 000 kPa (26, 107 PSI) from
the injection pump to the fuel injectors. The lines expand and contract from the high-pressure fuel pulses
generated during the injection process. All high-pressure fuel lines are of the same length and inside diameter.
Correct high-pressure fuel line usage and installation is critical to smooth engine operation.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when inspecting for high-pressure fuel leaks.
Inspect for high-pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard. High fuel
injection pressure can cause personal injury if contact is made with the
skin.

A vehicle that is not properly tuned and maintained cannot be expected to perform at its maximum efficiency
and can have an adverse effect on fuel economy. The following recommendations will ensure that the vehicle is
performing at its maximum efficiency:
Use the recommended motor oil grade. Using the manufacturer's recommended grade of Mopar®
motor oil can improve fuel mileage by 1-2%. Mopar® motor oil labeled "Energy Conserving" contains
friction-reducing additives.
Check and replace air filters. Replacing a clogged air filter with a new Mopar® air filter can improve
fuel mileage by as much as 10%.
Keep the engine tuned. Repairing a vehicle that is noticeably out of tune can improve fuel mileage by an
average of 4%. Maintaining a vehicle and repairing problems, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can
improve mileage by as much as 40%.
Keep tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can lower fuel mileage by 0.4% for every 1 psi drop in
pressure of all four tires.

The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) (3) is located at the rear of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electronically controlled solenoid valve. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) controls the amount of fuel that enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and
closing the FCA based on a demanded fuel pressure. When the FCA is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is
being supplied to the fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the
cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve regulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of
the pump and how much is returned to the fuel tank through the drain manifold.
An audible click from the FCA is normal when operating the key from the ON to the OFF position.

INJECTOR(S), FUEL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Six individual, solenoid actuated high-pressure fuel injectors are used (6). The injectors are vertically mounted
into a bored hole in the top of the cylinder head. This bored hole is located between the intake/exhaust valves.
Fig. 427: Removing/Installing Fuel Line Shield, High Pressure Fuel Lines, HPC Connector Tube, Fuel
Injectors & Bolts
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
High-pressure connectors (13), mounted into the side of the cylinder head, connect each fuel injector to each
high-pressure fuel tube (1).
OPERATION
OPERATION
High-pressure fuel is supplied from the injection pump, through a high-pressure fuel line, into a fuel rail,
through high-pressure lines, through steel connectors and into the solenoid actuated fuel injector. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) actuates the solenoid causing the needle valve to rise and fuel flows through
the spray holes in the nozzle tip into the combustion chamber.
Each fuel injector is connected to the fuel rail by a high-pressure fuel line and a steel connector. This steel
connector is positioned into the cylinder head and sealed with an O-ring. The connector is retained in the
cylinder head by a nut (fitting) that is threaded into the cylinder head.
The torquing force of this threaded nut (fitting) provides a sealing pressure between the fuel line connector and
the fuel injector. Retaining nut torque is very critical. If the nut (fitting) is under torqued, the mating surfaces
will not seal and a high-pressure fuel leak will result. If the fitting is over torqued, the connector and injector
will deform and also cause a high-pressure fuel leak. This leak will be inside the cylinder head and will not be
visible. The result will be a possible fuel injector miss-fire and low power, or a no-start condition.
The fuel injectors use hole type nozzles. High-pressure flows into the side of the injector, the PCM activates the
solenoid causing the injector needle to lift and fuel to be injected. The clearances in the nozzle bore are
extremely small and any dirt or contaminants will cause the injector to stick. Because of this, it is very
important to do a thorough cleaning of any lines before opening up any fuel system component. Always cover
or cap any open fuel connections before a fuel system repair is performed.
Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge filter that is designed to break up small contaminants before
entering the fuel injector. The edge filters are not a substitute for proper cleaning and covering of all fuel
system components during repair.
The bottom of each fuel injector is sealed to the cylinder head with a 1.5 mm thick copper shim (gasket). The
correct thickness shim must always be re-installed after removing an injector.
Fuel pressure in the injector circuit decreases after injection. The injector needle valve is immediately closed
and fuel flow into the combustion chamber is stopped. Exhaust gases are prevented from entering the injector
nozzle by the needle valve.

OPERATION
OPERATION
The CKP contains a hall effect device. A rotating, notched target wheel (tone wheel) for the CKP is located
behind the engine harmonic balancer (2). This hall effect device detects notches located on the tone wheel. As
the tone wheel rotates, the notches pass the tip of the CKP.
When the leading edge of the tone wheel notch passes the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The interruption
of magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high resulting in a signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the tone wheel notch passes the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The change of
the magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch low to 0 volts.
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) also provides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) at all
times when the engine is running. The PCM uses this CMP information primarily on engine start-up. Once the
engine is running, the PCM uses the CMP as a backup sensor for engine speed.

OPERATION
OPERATION
The Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor is a frequency based device. A constant voltage is applied to a heated wire on
the sensor. This wire is positioned in the air cleaner air stream and is heated by the electrical current that the
voltage produces. As air flows across it, it cools down. The heated wire or film is a positive temperature
coefficient resistor. This means that its resistance drops when its temperature drops. The drop in resistance
allows more current to flow through it in order to maintain the programmed temperature. This current is
changed to a frequency which is sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and interpreted as air flow.
Adjustments for air temperature and humidity are taken into consideration because they also affect the
temperature of the heated wire or film.
