F1829 Force FILL HD SCREW, 10 - 24 X 7/8

Perform this procedure under conditions that are identical to the conditions that exist when the fault occurs. Typically, faults with the injector solenoid occur when the engine is warmed up and/or when the engine is under vibration (heavy loads).These engines have Electronic Unit Injectors (EUI). The ECM sends a pulse to each injector solenoid. The pulse is sent at the correct time and at the correct duration for a given engine load and speed. The solenoid is mounted on top of the fuel injector body.An electrical fault can prevent the electronic unit injector from operating. An open or short circuit in the ECM that is unique to one electronic unit injector will prevent that electronic unit injector from operating. An open or short circuit in common wiring within the ECM can prevent the two electronic unit injectors that share that common wiring from operating.If an open circuit is detected in the solenoid circuit, a diagnostic code is generated. The ECM continues to try to fire the injector. If a short circuit is detected, a diagnostic code is generated. The ECM will periodically try to fire the injector. If the short circuit remains, this sequence of events will be repeated until the fault is corrected."Injector Solenoid Test"Use the "Injector Solenoid Test" to diagnose an open or short circuit diagnostic code while the engine is not running. The "Injector Solenoid Test" will send a signal to each solenoid. The electronic service tool will indicate the status of the solenoid as "OK", "Open", or "Short".

Electrical Shock Hazard. The electronic unit injectors use DC voltage. The ECM sends this voltage to the electronic unit injectors. Do not come in contact with the harness connector for the electronic unit injectors while the engine is operating. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Download Information Using the Electronic Service Tool
A. Use the electronic service tool to download the "Product Status Report" (PSR) with histograms before performing any troubleshooting or clearing any diagnostic codes.
Note: The downloaded information will be required by the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN) if troubleshooting assistance is required.
Downloaded information
Result: The information was successfully saved.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: The electronic service tool information was not successfully saved.
Contact the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN) for guidance.
2. Create an Electronic Service Tool Snapshot
A. Select "Snapshot Viewer" on the electronic service tool, using menus: Information -> Snapshot -> Viewer
B. Select the event code and then click "View Graph".
C. Select the following parameter and then click OK.
Engine Speed
D. Select Save to "File to save" a Snapshot File (*.xml). This file will contain all the data in the snapshot and not only the data shown on the graph.
Note: The downloaded information will be required by the DSN if troubleshooting assistance is required.
Snapshot saved
Result: The electronic service tool snapshot was successfully saved.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The electronic service tool snapshot was not successfully saved.
Contact the DSN for guidance.
3. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. A strong electrical shock hazard is present if the keyswitch is not turned OFF.
B. Thoroughly inspect the connectors for the injectors and the engine interface connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
C. Check the harness and wiring for abrasion and for pinch points from the injectors to the ECM.
Note: Do not disconnect the ECM connector at this stage. The ECM can only be disconnected and reconnected 10 times before damage to the harness connector may occur.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Repair: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled.
Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
Result: All connectors, pins, and sockets are correctly coupled and/or inserted. The harness is free of corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Use the "Injector Solenoid Test"
A. Start the engine.
B. Allow the engine to warm up to the normal operating temperature.
C. Stop the engine.
D. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
E. Access the "Injector Solenoid Test" by accessing the following display screens in order:
"Diagnostics"
"Diagnostic Tests"
"Injector Solenoid Test"
F. Activate the test.
Note: Do not confuse the "Injector Solenoid Test" with the "Cylinder Cutout Test". The "Cylinder Cutout Test" is used to shut off fuel to a specific cylinder while the engine is running. The "Injector Solenoid Test" is used to actuate the injector solenoids while the engine is not running.
"OK", "OPEN", or "SHORT"
Result: All cylinders indicate "OK" - There is not an electronic fault with the injectors.
Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes. Return the engine to service.
Result: "OPEN"
Note the cylinders that indicate "OPEN".
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: "SHORT"
Note the cylinders that indicate "SHORT".
