2005 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Diagnostic Subroutines - 6.0L Diesel

1. VISUAL ENGINE/CHASSIS INSPECTION

Purpose:

The purpose of this test is to check the general condition of the engine and look for obvious causes of a hard
start or no start condition.
Fuel Oil Coolant Electrical Hoses Leaks
Method
Visual

Check

Recommended Procedure:

Inspect the fuel system, including the fuel tank and the fuel lines for kinks, bends and/or leakage. Inspect for
coolant leaks at the radiator and the heater hoses and check the coolant level. Inspect the manifold absolute
pressure (MAP) sensor and the intercooler for pinched hoses and leaks. Inspect wiring for correct routing and
make sure no rubbing or chafing has occurred. Inspect the engine harness, fuel injector control module (FICM),
powertrain control module (PCM) and sensor connectors to make sure they are completely seated and in good
condition.
Possible Causes:

Loose or leaking fuel supply lines could cause fuel system to lose prime.
Kinked or blocked fuel supply lines will create fuel restriction.
Fuel or oil leaks could contribute to no start conditions.
Coolant leaks could indicate engine problems.
Electronic connectors may be damaged or not properly installed causing a no start condition. The
camshaft position (CMP) sensor, crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, injection pressure regulator (IPR) and
the PCM connectors are the most critical electronic sensors/actuators to inspect in no start situations.
Pinched or open manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor hose.
Pinched or open intercooler hose.
