4. Sufficient Clean Fuel
•
Check if the WATER IN FUEL lamp has been
illuminated.
After verifying that there is fuel in the tank, drain a
•
sample from fuel control module.
Cetane rating between 40-50 is recommended for

If < 6" Hg, inspect both fuel filters. If filters are OK, check fuel
regulator. If regulator and filters are OK, replace fuel pump.

B - FICMLPWR - No/low voltage indicated could be caused
by 12-way connector issue or logic power fuse.
Refer to Pinpoint S for detailed 12-way conn. diagnostics
C - FICMVPWR - No or low voltage indicated could be caused
by 12-way connector issues.
D - RPM - Low RPM can be caused by starting/charging

E - ICP - A minimum of 500 PSI (3.5 mPa) is required for
the injectors to be enabled. No or low oil in the system,
system leakage, injector O-Rings, faulty IPR, or high

IPR duty cycle defaults to 14 % (300 PSI) w/o CKP signal.
F - ICP V - Voltage reading below spec indicates low ICP
during crank.
G - FUEL PW - Pulse width defaults to 0 w/o CKP signal
H - FICMSYNC- No sync could be caused CMP or CKP faults.

11. Glow Plug System Operation
GPCM Operation
Glow Plug ON time is dependent on oil temperature
•
and altitude. The Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM)
comes on between 1 and 120 sec., and does not come
on at all if oil temp is above 131 F.
Using a scan tool , check Continuous and KOEO DTC's.
•
If codes are present go to Pinpoint Test AF.
Verify B+ voltage is being supplied to GPCM.
•
Using the scan tool GPCTM and EOT pids, verify
•
glow plug "on" time .
•
Turn key to run position, measure voltage ("on"time)
(Dependent on oil temperature and altitude)
Relay on time
1 to 120
seconds
Wait to Start Lamp "on" time is independent from g/p "on" time
Glow Plug Resistance
•
Disconnect the 4-pin connector at front of valve cover
Measure each Glow Plug resistance to Bat. ground.

•
Measure engine harness resistance to GPCM
