General Information

INTRODUCTION

Fuel other than HD-5 or HD-10 may cause harm


to the engines emission control system and a
warranty claim may be denied on this basis if operators can readily find the proper fuel.* Use of
any other fuel may result in your engine no longer
operating in compliance with CARB or EPA emissions requirements.

This service manual supplement has been developed to provide the service technician with the
basic understanding of the IMPCO certified fuel
and emission systems for the 3.0L GM engine.
This manual should be used in conjunction with
the base engine manual and the OEM service
manual when diagnosing fuel or electrical problems.

*Not Applicable in the state of California.


FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE ENGINE YEAR


Loctite 567 is recommended for all NPT connections.

The emission label on the engine will identify the


specific model year.
SERVICING YOUR EMISSIONS
CERTIFIED ENGINE

Do not use Teflon tape to seal any fuel fittings. Fragments of the tape may enter into
the fuel system, causing damage or malfunction of critical fuel system components.

Any maintenance and repair should be performed


by trained and experienced service technicians.
Proper tools and equipment should be used to
prevent injury to the servicing technician and
damage to the vehicle or components. Service
repairs should always be performed in a safe environment and the technician should always wear
protective clothing to prevent injury.

AIR FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS


Dry filtration is required with maximum recommended 4 W.C. restriction @ 75 cfm. IMPCO
strongly recommends the use of OEM or factory
replacement parts.

For parts or labor to be reimbursed under the


IMPCO Technologies Inc. emission warranty, only
work performed by IMPCO or OEM trained technicians using only IMPCO specified parts will qualify
for reimbursement. Refer to the IMPCO Labor
Time Guide for additional information.

WASHING
Caution should be used when pressure washing
near or on an engines electrical system. Avoid
direct pressure spray on the system electrical
connectors. The electrical connectors are splash
resistant, but if high pressure water or steam is
sprayed directly at the connectors, moisture can
become trapped behind the connector seal and
cause serious system problems, many of them
showing up as intermittent.

For parts or labor not reimbursed under warranty, a


repair shop or person of the owners choosing may
maintain, replace, or repair emission-control
devices and systems. It is highly recommended
that any replacement parts used for maintenance
or for the repair of emission control systems be
new OEM replacement parts. The use of other
than genuine IMPCO replacement parts may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems,
therefore, the owner should assure that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine IMPCO OEM parts in performance
and durability.
FUEL QUALITY
LPG engines and fuel systems are designed to
operate on HD-5 or HD-10 specification LPG fuel.

FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS

Unlike gasoline or propane vapors that


sink downward. Highly flammable
air/fuel mixtures may be present and
can be ignited causing personal injury.
Always work in well ventilated areas.

Do not use Teflon tape to seal any fuel


fittings. Fragments of the tape may enter into the fuel system, causing
damage or malfunction of critical fuel
system components.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES


This manual contains several different Warnings,
Cautions, and Notes that must be observed to
prevent personal injury and or damage to the engine, the fuel system or personal property.

Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or


use a lighted flame of any type when
working on or near any fuel related
component. Highly flammable air-fuel
mixtures may be present and can be
ignited causing personal injury.

A WARNING is an advisement that by performing a process or procedure listed in this manual


improperly may result in serious bodily injury,
death and/or serious damage to the engine or
property.
Typical Warning Label:

Do not allow LPG to contact the skin.


LPG is stored in the fuel tank as a liquid. When LPG contacts the
atmosphere, it immediately expands into a gas, resulting in a refrigeration
effect that can cause severe burns to
the skin.

A WARNING is an advisement that


by performing a process or procedure
listed in this manual improperly may
result in serious bodily injury, death
and/or serious damage to the engine
or property.
A CAUTION label or statement is used when it
has been determine that by performing a process
or procedure defined in the manual improperly a
less severe result may occur. It could however,
result in serious bodily injury, and or serious damage to the engine or property damage.

Do not allow LPG to accumulate in areas below ground level such as in a


service pit or underground ventilation
systems. LPG is heavier than air and
can displace oxygen, creating a dangerous condition.

Less severe than WARNING but has the


potential to cause injury or dam- age.
Also used to notify of situations that
could lead to eventual failure, inju- ry or
damage.

Do not make repairs to the fuel system


if you are not familiar with or trained to
service Propane fuel systems. Contact
the dealer who sold you the engine to
locate a repair facility with trained
technicians to repair your fuel system.

This caution label may also appear in area of this


manual that applies to service and repair proce-

dures. In addition it may also be used to indicate


a failure to observe which may influence the terms
of the warranty.
An IMPORTANT statement generally denotes a
situation that requires strict adherence to the assembly, tightening, or service procedure. Failure
to observe this procedure could result in an unsafe condition or improper performance of the
engine or a component.

Always leak check any fuel system connection after servicing! Use an
electronic leak detector and/or a liquid
leak detection solution. Failure to leak
check could result in serious bodily injury, death, or serious property damage.

A NOTE statement applies to a specific item or


procedure that is to be followed during the servicing of the engine or its components.
PROPER USE OF THIS SERVICE MANUAL,
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
To reduce the potential for injury to the technician
or others and to reduce damage to the engine during service repairs the technician should observe
the following Steps:

The service procedures defined in this manual, when followed, have been found to be a
safe and efficient process to repair the fuel
system. In some cases special tools may be
required to perform the necessary procedures
to safely remove and replace a failed component.
Tools identified in this manual with the prefix
J or BT can be procured through SPX in
Warren, Michigan.
IMPCO tools identified in this manual with a
prefix ITK can be acquired through OEM
Parts Distribution.

IMPORTANT
It is important to remember that there may be a
combination of Metric and Imperial fasteners used
in the installation of the IMPCO fuel system.
Check to insure proper fit when using a socket or
wrench on any fastener to prevent damage to the
component being removed or injury from slipping
off the fastener.
The fuel system utilizes fuel lines and hoses with
high pressure connectors. Always use a wrench
of the proper size and torque to the correct value.
For hoses with swivel fittings, be sure not to turn
the fixed fitting which may cause a twisting or
kinking of the hose, possibly resulting in fuel line
restriction and/or leak.

Maintenance

MAINTENANCE
SERPENTINE BELT SYSTEM
The maintenance of an engine and related components are critical to its operating performance
and lifespan. Industrial engines operate in environments that often include hot and cold
temperatures and extreme dust. The recommended maintenance schedule is listed in this
section, however, environmental operating conditions and additional installed equipment may
require more frequent inspection and servicing.
The owner and/or service agent should review the
operating conditions of the equipment to determine the inspection and maintenance intervals.

Serpentine belts utilize a spring-loaded tensioner


to keep the belt properly adjusted. Serpentine
belts should be checked according to the maintenance schedule in this section.
IMPORTANT:
The use of belt dressing or anti-slipping
agents on belts is not recommended.
COOLING SYSTEM
It is important that the cooling system of the engine be maintained properly to ensure proper
performance and longevity.

When performing maintenance on the engine,


turn the ignition OFF and disconnect the battery negative cable to avoid injury or damage
to the engine.

Alcohol or Methanol based anti-freeze or


plain water are not recommended for use
in the cooling system at anytime.

ENGINE BELTS
The engine installed in this equipment uses a serpentine drive belt configuration that drives the
water pump, alternator and additional pumps or
devices. It is important to note that the drive belt
is an integral part of the cooling and charging system and should be inspected according to the
maintenance schedule in this section. When inspecting the belts check for:

Cracks
Chunking of the belt
Splits
Material hanging loose from the belt
Glazing, hardening

If any of these conditions exist the belt should be


replaced with the recommended OEM replacement belt.

Do not remove the cooling system pressure cap (radiator cap) when the engine is
hot. Allow the engine to cool and then
remove the cap slowly to allow pressure
to vent. Hot coolant under pressure may
discharge violently.
NOTE that the LPG vaporizer is connected to the
cooling system and the fuel system may be adversely affected by low coolant levels and
restricted or plugged radiator cores. Therefore,
the cooling system must be maintained according
to the recommend maintenance schedule in this
section and also include:

Alcohol or Methanol based anti-freeze or


plain water are not recommended for use in
the cooling system at anytime.

10

The regular removal of dust, dirt and debris


from the radiator core and fan shroud.
Inspection of coolant hoses and components
for leaks, especially at the radiator hose connections. Tighten hose clamps if necessary.
Check radiator hoses for swelling, separation,
hardening, cracks or any type of deterioration.

If any of these conditions exist the hose


should be replaced with a recommended OEM
replacement part.
Inspect the radiator cap to ensure proper sealing.

COOLANT
Check coolant level in coolant recovery tank and
add coolant as required. Add 50/50 mixture of
GM Dexcool antifreeze and water or coolant per
engine manufacturers instructions. Do not add
plain water. Replace coolant per the recommended schedule.

Verify that any additional electrical services


installed by the owner are properly installed in
the system.
Verify that the MIL, charging, and oil pressure
lights illuminate momentarily during engine start.
ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL

OIL RECOMMENDATION
Select an engine oil viscosity that will best match
the prevailing daytime temperature:

IMPORTANT:
The manufacturers of the engine and fuel system
do not recommend the use of stop leak additives
to repair leaks in the cooling system. If leaks are
present the radiator should be removed and repaired or replaced.
ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTNANCE
The engines electrical system incorporates computers to control various related components. The
electrical system connections and ground circuits
require good connections. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in this section to
maintain optimum performance. When inspecting
the electrical system check the following:

Check Positive and Negative cables for corrosion, rubbing, chafing, burning and to ensure
tight connections at both ends.
Check battery for cracks or damage to the
case and replace if necessary.
Inspect engine wire harness for rubbing, chafing, pinching, burning, and cracks or breaks in
the wiring.
Verify that engine harness connectors are correctly locked in by pushing in and then pulling
the connector halves outward.
Inspect ignition coil wire for hardening, cracking, arcing, chafing, burning, separation, split
boot covers.
Check spark plug wires for hardening, cracking, chafing, arcing or burning, separation, and
split boot covers.
Replace spark plugs at the required intervals
per the recommended maintenance schedule.
Verify that all electrical components are securely mounted to the engine or chassis.

The oil must meet GM specification 9986231. Motor oils meeting this spec receive the API
(American Petroleum Institute) starburst symbol:

ILSAC GF-4 oils are highly recommended. Oils


meeting the SL-4 spec are improved over the previous generation GF-3 oils in many ways

11

Reduced Phosphorous levels (20%) for reduced catalyst poisoning


Improved oxidation resistance (4X oxidation
inhibitor treat level = 100% improvement)

Improved hi temp deposit control (1.5X detergents = 25% improvement)

It is noted that the GF-4 oils are also backward


compatible and are equal or better than previous
grades of oil in all aspects.
OEMs may opt for higher viscosity oils based on
their application experience however GF-4 oils
may not be available in these viscosity ranges. In
this case it is recommended the OEM utilize high
quality oil (API rating SM).
Engine Oil Dip Stick (Typical)
CAUTION: Do not to operate your engine with an
oil level below the normal operating range. Severe engine damage could occur.
SYNTHETIC OILS
Synthetic oils have been available for use in industrial engines for a relatively long period of
time and may offer advantages in cold and hot
temperatures. However, it is not known if synthetic oils provide operational or economic
benefits over conventional petroleum-based oils
in industrial engines. Use of synthetic oils does
not permit the extension of oil change intervals.
CHECKING/FILLING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
IMPORTANT:
Care must be taken when checking engine oil level. Oil level must be maintained between the
ADD mark and the FULL mark on the dipstick.
To ensure that you are not getting a false reading,
make sure the following steps are taken before
checking the oil level.
1. Stop engine.
2. Allow approximately five minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.
3. Remove the dipstick. Wipe with a clean cloth
or paper towel and reinstall. Push the dipstick
all the way into the dipstick tube.
4. Remove the dipstick and note the amount of
oil on the dipstick. The oil level must be between the FULL and ADD marks.

5. If the oil level is below the ADD mark reinstall


the dipstick into the dipstick tube and proceed
to Step 6.
6. Remove the oil filler cap from the valve cover.
7. Add the required amount of oil to bring the
level up to, but not over, the FULL mark on
the dipstick. Reinstall the oil filler cap to the
valve rocker arm cover and wipe any excess
oil clean.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
IMPORTANT:
When changing the oil, always change the oil
filter.
1. Start the engine and run until it reaches normal operating temperature.

An overfilled crankcase (oil level being too


high) can cause an oil leak, a fluctuation
or drop in oil pressure. When overfilled,
the engine crankshafts splash and agitate
the oil, causing it to aerate or foam.
IMPORTANT:
Change oil when engine is warm and the old oil
flows more freely.
2. Stop engine

12

Engine oil will be hot. Use protective


gloves to prevent burns. Engine oil contains chemicals which may be harmful to
your health. Avoid skin contact.
3. Remove drain plug and allow the oil to drain.
4. Remove and discard oil filter and its sealing
ring.
5. Coat sealing ring on the new filter with clean
engine oil, wipe the sealing surface on the filter
mounting surface to remove any dust, dirt or
debris. Tighten filter securely (follow filter manufacturers instructions). Do not over tighten.
6. Check sealing ring on drain plug for any damage, replace if necessary, wipe plug with clean
rag, wipe pan sealing surface with clean rag
and re-install plug into the pan. Tighten to the
OEM specification.
7. Fill crankcase with oil.
8. Start engine and check for oil leaks.
9. Dispose of oil and filter in a safe and responsible manner.
FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
LPG FUEL SYSTEM
The LPG fuel system installed on this industrial
engine has been designed to meet the emission
standard applicable for the 2011 model year. To
ensure compliance to these standards, follow the
recommended maintenance schedule contained in
this section.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
FUEL STORAGE CYLINDER
The fuel storage cylinder should be inspected
daily or at the beginning of each operational shift
for any leaks, external damage, adequate fuel
supply and to ensure the manual service valve is
open. Fuel storage cylinders should always be
securely mounted, inspect the securing straps or
retaining devices for damage ensure that all locking devices are closed and locked. Check to
ensure that the fuel storage cylinder is positioned
with the locating pin in the tank collar on all horizontally mounted cylinders this will ensure the
proper function of the cylinder relief valve.

When refueling or exchanging the fuel cylinder,


check the quick fill valve for thread damage. Also
verify O-ring is in place and inspect for cracks,
chunking or separation. If damage to the o-ring
is found, replace prior to filling. Check the service line quick coupler for any thread damage.
IMPORTANT:
When refueling the fuel cylinder, wipe both the
female and male connection with a clean rag prior
to filling to prevent dust, dirt and debris from being
introduced to the fuel cylinder.
INSPECTION OF THE FUEL FILTER
The LPG system on this emission certified engine
utilizes an in-line replaceable fuel filter element.
This element should be replaced, at the intervals
specified in the recommended maintenance
schedule. When inspecting the fuel filter check
the following:

Check for leaks at the inlet and outlet fittings,


using a soapy solution or an electronic leak
detector and repair if necessary.
Check to make sure filter is securely mounted.
Check filter housing for external damage or
distortion. If damaged replace fuel filter.

AIR FUEL MIXER/THROTTLE CONTROL


DEVICE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
IMPORTANT:
The Air Fuel Mixer components have been
specifically designed and calibrated to meet the
fuel system requirements of the emission certified
engine. The mixer should not be disassembled or
rebuilt. If the mixer fails to operate or develops a
leak the mixer should be replaced with the OEM
recommended replacement parts.
When inspecting the mixer check for the following
items:

13

Leaks at the inlet fitting.


Fuel inlet hose for cracking, splitting or chaffing, replace if any of these condition exist.
Ensure the mixer is securely mounted.
Inspect air inlet hose connection and clamp.
Also inspect inlet hose for cracking, splitting or
chafing. Replace if any of these conditions exist.

Inspect Air cleaner element according to the


Recommended Maintenance Schedule found
in this section.
Check Fuel lines for cracking, splitting or chafing. Replace if any of these conditions exist.
Verify Throttle body return action to ensure
throttle shaft is not sticking. Repair if necessary.
Check for leaks at the throttle body and intake
manifold.

The measurement of oxygen in the exhaust


stream is measured in voltage and sent to the
ECM. The ECM then makes corrections to the
fuel air ratio to ensure the proper fuel charge and
optimum catalytic performance. Therefore, it is
important that the exhaust connections remain
secured and air tight.

PRESSURE REGULATOR MAINTENANCE AND


INSPECTION

Contamination of the HEGO sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV
sealer or silicone spray products. Do not use
silicone sprays or hoses which are assembled using silicone lubricants. Always use
oxygen sensor safe RTV sealant for repair
procedures. Silicon contamination will cause
a high but false HEGO signal voltage (rich
exhaust indication). The ECM will then reduce the amount of fuel delivery to the
engine, causing a severe driveability problem. If silicone contamination is suspected,
remove and visually inspect the sensor element. If contaminated, the portion of the
sensor exposed to the exhaust stream will
have a white powdery coating. Always be
sure to eliminate the cause of contamination
before replacing the sensor.

IMPORTANT:
The Pressure Regulator components have been
specifically designed and calibrated to meet the
fuel system requirements of the emission certified
engine.
If the Regulator fails to operate or develops a
leak, it should be repaired or replaced with the
OEM recommended replacement parts. When
inspecting the regulator check for the following
items:

Check for any fuel leaks at the inlet and outlet


fittings.
Check for any fuel leaks in the regulator body.
Check the inlet and outlet fittings of the coolant supply lines for water leaks.
Check the coolant supply lines for hardening,
cracking, chafing or splits. If any of these conditions exist replace coolant lines.
Check coolant supply hose clamp connections, ensure they are tight.
Check to ensure the Regulator is securely
mounted and the mounting bolts are tight.
Check the Regulator for external damage.
Check the Regulator electrical connections to
ensure the connector is seated and locked.

EXHAUST SYSTEM AND CATALYTIC


CONVERTER INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
The exhaust system on this emission certified engine contains Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen
Sensors (HEGOs) which provide feedback to the
ECM on the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream after combustion.

When inspecting the Exhaust system check the


following:

14

Exhaust manifold at the cylinder head for


leaks and that all retaining bolts and shields (if
used) are in place.
Manifold to exhaust pipe fasteners to ensure
they are tight and that there are no exhaust
leaks repair if necessary.
HEGO electrical connector to ensure connector is seated and locked, check wires to ensure
there is no cracking, splits chafing or burn
through. Repair if necessary.
Exhaust pipe extension connector for leaks
tighten if necessary.
Visually inspect converter to ensure muffler is
securely mounted and tail pipe is properly
aimed.
Check for any leaks at the inlet and outlet of
the converter.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE FUEL


SYSTEMS
LPG FUEL SYSTEM
The primary components of the LPG fuel system are
the fuel storage tank, regulator, throttle control
device, fuel injectors, engine control module (ECM),
catalytic converter and Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) Sensor.

Typical LPG Cylinder


1. Liquid Outage Fill Check Valve
2. Pressure Relief Valve
3. Liquid Outage valve w/quick disconnect coupling
4. Filler Valve
5. Fuel Gauge
6. Vapor Withdrawal Tube (when applicable)
7. 80% Limiter Tube
8. Fuel Level Float
9. Liquid Withdrawal Tube

LPG FUEL TANK


LPG is stored in the fuel tank as a liquid. The approximate pressure of the fuel in the tank is 16.5
bar (240 psi) when the tank is full at an ambient
temperature of 27 C (81F). The boiling point,
(temperature at which the liquid fuel becomes vapor) is approximately -40 C (-40 F). When the
fuel changes from liquid to vapor the fuel expands
and creates pressure inside the tank. When the
tank service valve is opened the pressure inside
the tank forces the liquid fuel out though the pickup
tube located near the bottom of the fuel cylinder.

SERVICE LINE
LPG flows from the fuel tank to the Regulator via
the service line connected to the tank utilizing a
quick coupler. The other end of the service line is
connected to a bulkhead connector, allowing for a
safe means of passing through the sheet metal
and into the engine compartment. The service
line is made of high pressure hose with special
material or possibly tubing which is compatible
with the LPG fuel and should always be replaced
with an OEM supplied part.

The service valve mounted in the end of the cylinder controls the flow of fuel from the tank. By
turning the handle to its open position, fuel flows
out of the tank and into the service line. The service valve is also equipped with a safety feature
called an excess flow check valve. This feature
reduces the flow from the service valve in the event
of a rupture of the fuel line or any downstream fuel
transport components. A safety valve is built into
the tank. Normally set at 25.8 bar (375 psi), it will
release pressure to prevent tank rupture due to
over-pressurization of the cylinder

The bulkhead assembly should never be


removed. Never run a service line through
the sheet metal.
FUEL FILTER
LPG, fuel like all other motor fuels is subject to
contamination from outside sources. Refueling of
the equipment tank and removal of the tank from
the equipment can inadvertently introduce dirt,
rust and other foreign matter into the fuel system.
It is therefore necessary to filter the fuel prior to
entering the fuel system components downstream

19

of the tank. A replaceable, high pressure, inline


fuel filter is built into regulator and another is in
line between the regulator and fuel rail. Maintenance of the filters is critical to proper operation
of the fuel system and should be replaced according to the maintenance schedule or more
frequently under severe operating conditions.

connection with the throttle and there is no direct


mechanical (cable) connection between the pedal
and the throttle shaft.
The ECM monitors the foot pedal position sensor
when the engine is running. When the operator
depresses or releases the foot pedal, the ECM
sends an electrical signal to the motor on the
electronic throttle to increase or decrease the angle of the throttle blade thereby increasing or
decreasing the volume of air delivered to the engine. Two internal Throttle Position Sensors
(TPSs) provide feedback to the ECM indicating
the position of the throttle shaft and blade. Defaults programmed into the ECM software ensure
correct speed, load and emission control for all
throttle ranges.

REGULATOR
The Regulator is a combination vaporizer and pressure regulating device with a built-in LPG shut-off
solenoid valve. The fuel shutoff is a normally
closed valve on the vaporizer, controlled by the
ECM. The valve is opened is opened momentarily
when the ignition is first turned on to allow the system to pressurize and when the engine is running.
When open, LPG passes into the regulator and any
liquid LPG is vaporized by heat provided by the engine coolant. The fuel vapor pressure is then
reduced to approximately 88 kPa (12.6 psi) and
delivered to the fuel rail and fuel injectors. The outlet fuel pressure is referenced to the manifold
pressure for a more stable idle.

A throttle related failure will cause a LIMP


HOME mode of operation, where the engine has
no response to the pedal.
THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The Catalytic Converter is a component of the
emissions system which is designed and calibrated to meet the emission standards in effect for
2011 model year.
Regulator

The exhaust gases pass through the honeycomb


catalyst which is coated with a mixture of metals
(such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium) to
oxidize and reduce CO, HC and NOx emission
gases.

The regulator and some of components are serviceable.


THROTTLE CONTROL DEVICEDRIVE BY
WIRE

Speed control is maintained by the amount of pressure applied to the foot pedal located in the engine
compartment, however, in this Drive By Wire
(DBW) application, the foot pedal has an electronic

20

Engine Control Module (ECM)

Three Way Catalytic Converter

The ECM also performs diagnostic functions on


the fuel system and notifies the operator of engine malfunctions by turning on a Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) mounted in the dash. Malfunctions in the system are identified by a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) number. In addition to notifying the operator of the malfunction in
the system, the controller also stores the information about the malfunction in its memory. A
technician can than utilize a computerized diagnostic scan tool to retrieve the stored diagnostic
code and by using the diagnostic charts in this
manual to determine the cause of the malfunction. In the event a technician does not have the
computerized diagnostic tool.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE


To obtain maximum effect from the catalyst and
accurate control of the air fuel ratio, the emission
certified engine is equipped with an onboard
computer or Engine Control Module (ECM). The
ECM is a controller which receives input data
from sensors mounted to the engine and fuel system and then outputs various signals to control
engine operation.

HEATED EXHAUST GAS OXYGEN SENSOR


The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) Sensor is mounted in the exhaust system to measure
the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust
stream. The ECM continuously monitors the
HEGO measurement to determine whether the
fuel air ratio is too rich, too lean and richen or
lean the mixture of fuel delivered to the engine. If
the ECM determines that a rich or lean condition
is present for an extended period of time which
cannot be corrected, the ECM will set a diagnostic code and turn on the MIL light in the dash.

One specific function of the controller is to maintain a closed loop fuel control which is
accomplished by use of the Heated Exhaust Gas
Oxygen Sensors (HEGOs) mounted in the exhaust system. The HEGO sensors send a
voltage signal to the ECM which then changes
the amount of fuel being delivered from the injectors to the engine.

21

The Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor


(HEGO) is an emissions control component. In the event of a failure, the HEGO
should only be replaced with the recommended OEM replacement part. The
HEGO is sensitive to silicone based products and can become contaminated.
Avoid using silicone sealers or air or fuel
hoses treated with a silicone based lubricant.

The Heat Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) Sensor

TMAP SENSOR
The Air Temperature/Manifold Absolute Pressure
or TMAP sensor is a combination of two sensors:
1) A variable resistor used to monitor the difference in pressure between the intake manifold
and outside or atmospheric pressure. The
ECM monitors the resistance of the sensor to
determine engine load (the vacuum drops
when the engine is under load or at wide
open throttle) and may alter the fuel mixture
to improve performance and emissions.
HEGO voltage output.
2) The Manifold Air Temperature (MAT or IAT)
sensor is a variable resistance thermistor located in the air intake passage which measures
the temperature of the incoming air. The ECM
uses the resistance value to monitor incoming
air temperature and calculate the en- gines
airflow requirement. The ECM provides a
voltage divider circuit so that when the air is
cool, the signal reads a higher voltage, and
lower when warm. On cold starts, the ECM
richens the fuel/air mixture.

22

IGNITION SYSTEM

TMAP Sensor
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor or ECT is
a variable resistance thermistor that changes resistance as the engine's coolant temperature
changes. The sensor's resistance is monitored by
the ECM to determine a cold start condition and to
regulate various fuel and emission control functions
via a closed loop emission system.

The ignition system spark system uses a Crank


Position and Camshaft Position sensor for engine
timing. A coil assembly contain an ignition coil
and an ignition module supplies the ignition spark
for the system. The coil is fired for each cylinder
over two engine revolutions. The distributor
routes each spark event to the appropriate cylinder spark plug. The plug is fired near the top of
the compression stroke to ignite the fuel and air
mixture.
CAM SENSOR
In the 2011 engine the CAM sensor and a cam
signal wheel are incorporated into the ignition distributor mounted on the side of the engine block.

Coolant Temperature Sensor


OIL PRESSURE SENDER

CRANK SENSOR

The Engine Oil Pressure Sender is designed to ensure adequate lubrication throughout the engine. It
is monitored by the ECM. If the pressure drops, a
MIL will occur.

Crank Sensor
The crank position sensor is a Hall effect sensor
that is triggered by a reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. Two missing teeth are used to determine

stage, pilot actuated principal. When the coil is actuated it pulls the primary seal off the primary orifice
against the force of the flat return spring. This allows gas to flow out of the upper chamber of the
injector. Because the orifice supplying the upper
chamber is smaller than the primary orifice which is
now allowing fuel to flow out of the upper chamber,
the pressure drops in this chamber and the now
higher pressure in the lower chamber pushes the
main secondary seal off the secondary orifice and
allows full flow of the injector (this occurs in about 1
to 2 ms). When the coil is de-energized the primary
seal is returned to cover the primary orifice by the
force of the flat spring and pressure builds in the
upper chamber forcing the secondary seal down to
seal the secondary orifice and shutting off all flow of
gas.

Fuel Rail Assembly and LPG Injectors.


The gaseous LPG flows into the fuel rail where it is
distributed to the four LPG injectors. At the opposite end of the fuel rail to the inlet port there is a
Fuel Absolute Pressure (FAP) sensor (also known
as a Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor) this sensor allows
the ECU to lengthen or shorten the fuel injector
pulse width to compensate for variations in the absolute fuel pressure supplied to the injectors. This
injector assembly has one end inserted into the
manifold ports and the other end inserted into the
fuel rail ports. There is an o-ring seal on the manifold side and an o-ring and split spacer seal on the
fuel rail side. The fuel rail holds the injectors in
place.

FUEL SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTICS


Checks

Action
Before using this section, you should have performed On Board Diagnostic
(OBD) Check and determined that:

Before Using This


Section

1. The ECM and MIL are operating correctly.


2. There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, or a DTC exists
but without a MIL.
Several of the following symptom procedures call for a careful visual and
physical check. These checks are very important as they can lead to prompt
diagnosis and correction of a problem.
1.
2.
3.
4.

Fuel System Check

Verify the customer complaint.


Locate the correct symptom table.
Check the items indicated under that symptom.
Operate the engine under the conditions the symptom occurs. Verify
HEGO switching between lean and rich (cycling of voltage).
IMPORTANT! Normal HEGO switching indicates the fuel system is
in closed loop and operating correctly at that time.
5. Take a data snapshot using the DST under the condition that the symptom occurs to review at a later time.

Check all ECM system fuses and circuit breakers.


Check the ECM ground for being clean, tight and in its proper location.
Check the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and proper connections.
Check thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction.
Check for air leaks at all the mounting areas of the intake manifold sealing
surfaces.
Check for proper installation and leakage around the Regulator and Throttle body.
Check the ignition wires for the following conditions:
Visual and Physical
Checks

Cracking
Hardening
Proper routing
Carbon tracking

Check the wiring for the following items: proper connections, pinches or
cuts.
The following symptom tables contain groups of possible causes for each
symptom. The order of these procedures is not important. If the DST readings do not indicate a problem, then proceed in a logical order, easiest to
check or most likely to cause the problem.

36

INTERMITTENT
Checks

Action

DEFINITION: The problem may or may not turn ON the (MIL) or store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC).
Preliminary Checks

Do not use the DTC table if a fault is an intermittent, the use of the DTC tables with this condition may result in the replacement of good parts.
Faulty electrical connections or wiring can cause most intermittent problems.
Check the suspected circuit for the following conditions:

Faulty Electrical Connections or Wiring

Operational Test

Faulty fuse or circuit breaker, connectors poorly mated, terminals not fully
seated in the connector (backed out). Terminals not properly formed or
damaged.
Wire terminals poorly connected.
Terminal tension is insufficient.
Carefully remove all the connector terminals in the problem circuit in order to ensure the proper contact tension.
If necessary, replace all the connector terminals in the problem circuit in
order to ensure the proper contact tension (except those noted as Not
Serviceable). See section Wiring Schematics.
Checking for poor terminal to wire connections requires removing the
terminal from the connector body.

If a visual and physical check does not locate the cause of the problem, operate the engine with the DST connected. When the problem occurs, an
abnormal voltage or scan reading indicates a problem circuit.
The following components can cause intermittent MIL and no DTC(s):

Intermittent MIL
Illumination

A defective relay.
Switch that can cause electrical system interference. Normally, the problem will occur when the faulty component is operating.
The improper installation of add on electrical devices, such as lights, 2way radios, electric motors, etc.
The ignition secondary voltage shorted to a ground.
The MIL circuit or the Diagnostic Test Terminal intermittently shorted to
ground.
The MIL wire grounds.

To check for the loss of the DTC Memory:

Loss of DTC Memory

1. Disconnect the TMAP sensor.


2. Run engine under no load until the MIL illuminates.
3. The ECM should store a TMAP DTC which should remain in the memory
when the ignition is turned OFF. If the TMAP DTC does not store and
remain, the ECM is faulty.

ROUGH, UNSTABLE, OR INCORRECT ENGINE SPEED, STALLING


Checks

Action

DEFINITION: The engine runs unevenly at under no load. If severe enough, the engine may shake.
The engine speed may vary in rpm. Either condition may be severe enough to stall the engine.
Preliminary Check
None.
Check the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor (HEGO) performance:

Sensor Checks

Check for silicone contamination from fuel or improperly used sealant. If


contaminated, the sensor may have a white powdery coating result in a high
but false signal voltage (rich exhaust indication). The ECM will reduce the
amount of fuel delivered to the engine causing a severe performance problem.

Check the Temperature Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) sensor response


and accuracy.

Fuel System Checks

Check for rich or lean symptom that causes the condition.


Run the engine at the speed of the complaint.
Monitoring the oxygen sensor will help identify the problem.
Verify proper operation of the Regulator.
Perform a cylinder compression test. Refer to Engine Mechanical in the
Service Manual.
Check the Regulator fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Diagnosis.
Check the Regulator, Venturi and Throttle body for proper installation and
leakage.
Check for the proper ignition output voltage using the spark tester J26792 or
the equivalent.
Verify that the spark plugs are the correct type and properly gapped.

Remove the plugs and inspect them for the following conditions:

Ignition System
Checks

Wet plugs (oil fouling).


Cracks.
Wear.
Improper gap.
Burned electrodes.
Blistered insulators.
Heavy deposits.

Check the spark plug wires by connecting an ohmmeter to the ends of each
wire in question. If the meter reads over 30,000 ohms, replace the wires.
Important: The LPG Fuel system is more sensitive to intake manifold leakage
than the gasoline fuel supply system.

Additional Checks

Check for vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can cause poor engine performance.
Check the ECM grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.
Check the battery cables and ground straps. They should be clean and secure. Erratic voltage may cause all sensor readings to be skewed resulting
in poor engine performance.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM INSPECTION/DIAGNOSIS


RESULTS OF INCORRECT OPERATION
A plugged positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice or hose may cause the following conditions:

Rough or unstable engine speed


Stalling or low idle speed
Oil leaks
Oil in the air cleaner
Sludge in the engine

A leaking PCV orifice or hose may cause the following problems:

Rough or unstable engine speed.


Stalling
High idle speed

Functional check:
Any blow-by in excess of the system capacity, from a badly worn engine, sustained heavy load, etc., is exhausted
into the air cleaner and is drawn back into the engine.
Proper operation of the crankcase ventilation system depends on a sealed engine. If irregular oil flow or dilution is
noted and the crankcase ventilation system is functioning properly, check the engine for another possible cause.
Correct any of these problems first.
If an engine is idling rough, inspect for a clogged PCV orifice, a dirty vent filter, air cleaner element, or plugged
hose. Replace any faulty items found. Use the following procedure:

Remove the PCV hose (positive side) from the rocker arm cover.
Operate the engine at idle.
Place your thumb over the end of the hose in order to check for vacuum. If there is no vacuum at the hose end,
inspect for the following items:

Plugged hoses
The manifold vacuum port

Turn the engine OFF.


Inspect the PCV orifice in the valve cover for debris or blockage.

Using the Spectrum DST


The Spectrum IV DST is the next generation all CAN (Controller Area Network) enabled diagnostic tool. This is a
new tool for emission year 2011. It is designed to be compatible for all 2011 Spectrum fuel systems that use both
the MEFI (industrial) and S3000 (mobile) ECM applications. The DST operates on an expandable platform and its
functions are planned to increase in the future. The functions are listed below:

Updating the ECM calibration using the .s37 calibration file.


Provide graphical display interface for engine and sensors parameters
Display DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
Provide data stream information from engine sensors and actuators
Plot data.
Record Data

68

Updating the ECM Calibration


In field updates (or reflashing) are possible with the S3000 ECM using the DST. Always check first to be sure
the ECM has been programmed with the latest calibration before attempting any diagnostic or service repair procedure. Calibration files are supplied in the .s37 file format. These files may be supplied to you by the OEM along with
a password unique to that particular s.37 file. You will need the password to complete the re-programming
procedure. Before re-programming the ECM, shut down any other programs running on your PC including wireless
and e-mail programs. The PC must be dedicated to the re-programming process at this time. Be sure your PC battery is adequately charged. Failure to follow these instructions may render the ECM not usable in the field.

Under the Tools drop down menu, select Reprogram S3000 Engine Control Unit. Turn ignition power ON.

The S3000 Flash Upgrade Wizard dialog box will appear. Select the Next box.

69

Use the Browse box to navigate to the location of the calibration file.

Enter the password that was supplied with the calibration file.

70

Select the Next box.

The progress bar shows the status updating.

Any interruption during the re-programming


process may render the ECM unusable in
the field.

71

Please wait until you receive a message confirming the update is complete.

Turn the ignition power OFF. Wait 10 seconds and select Finish.

Turn the ignition ON. Verify the calibration updated with the new file number in the ECM Part Number data stream
shown above. The reprogramming process is now complete.

72

Graphic Display Interface

Shown as the monitor page in the DST, the above page is the default entry page that opens with the DST program. It provides a graphical interface for important engine parameters. Graphics shown in gray are not available
for the specific application the DST may be connected to as shown above. This function is controlled by the ECM
calibration file and cannot be changed by the service technician.

73

Display DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)

DTC codes can be read by clicking on the Diagnostics tab at the bottom of the monitor page. The source of
the DTC stream can be set manually for the MEFI ECM or the S3000 ECM, or left in the default All position for auto
detection of the DTC codes from either MEFI or the S3000 ECM. Codes that can be viewed are set in two categories, active and historic. Active codes are codes that are set and the fault that is causing the code to set is
constant. Historic codes are codes that have set in the past, but the fault that caused them has been corrected
such as with an intermittent problem. This function is selectable by choosing the Active or Historic, as shown in
the above image. Codes can be cleared by clicking the Clear box. The DTC set code list may also be saved by
clicking the Save box shown above. The file will be saved in a convenient HTML file compatible with Windows Internet Explorer and will provide a browse function to save the file to a location of choice for the service technician.

74

Data Stream:

The fuel and emissions service manual will refer to the DST and asked that it be connected in the data stream
mode. This simply means it is first connected and that data is shown on the S3000 data stream page as shown
above. The data stream page can be accessed by selecting the S3000 tab shown at the lower left above.

Plot Data:

Data stream information may also be selected for a trace plot. This page is available by clicking the Plot tab at the
lower page center as shown above.

75

The custom parameters of the plot can be selected by clicking on the plot icon just below the Settings menu item
at the top left of the page shown above. To save the custom settings select OK.

76

Diagnosing Intermittent Problems


Intermittent fuel system problems can prove to be the most challenging to diagnose. It is of the upmost
important when diagnosing intermittent problems to operate the engine system while monitoring with the
DST and pressure gauge set. An example of this would be if the DST showed a lean fuel mixture at full
load. One of the first things to look at would be the fuel pressure. The fuel pressure would need to be monitored while the engine is operating at full load, not at low or no load because the leaning effect does not
occur until full load. Electrical problems should be treated in a similar same way. One excellent tool for
finding intermittent electrical problems is the DST plot function. Set up the plot for the sensor code that sets.
An example of this would be if an intermittent IAT code set, tag the IAT voltage and watch the plot. While
watching the plot, agitate the electrical wire connection at the sensor and ECM connector. The reso- lution
of the plot screen is such that you will be able to see any unstable voltages that you may not see with a
standard DVOM.
Caution should be used when pressure washing the under hood of any electrical system. Avoid direct
pressure spray on the system electrical connectors. The connectors are splash proof but if high pressure
water or steam is sprayed directly at the connector moisture can become trapped behind the connector seal
and cause serious system problems, many of them showing up as intermittents. Extra care must be taken
when probing electrical pins and terminals. Do not bend or spread these terminals as this can also be a
source of intermittent problems cause by improper handling of these low voltage connectors and ter- minals.
When running electrical diagnostics avoid back probing the wire connectors as this may damage the wire
seal. When running the continuity checks use a wire probe to only touch the wire terminal. Forc- ing the
electrical probe into the terminal may cause the terminal to spread leading to permanent damage. More
Intermittent diagnostic information can be found on the Fuel Symptom Diagnostics, Intermittent Diag- nostic
Charts.

Fuel System Checks


This system has OBD (Onboard Diagnostics) for many sensors, relays and monitors, but not all malfunctions have a DTC code available to alert the service technician to a problem. A good example of this
would be the engine ignition system. If a spark plug, cap, rotor or wire fails a DTC code may not be set. The
DST provides advanced diagnostic capabilities, but some items are still left to the basics of general engine
mechanics. Following the recommended maintenance schedule is the best way to prevent this type of
problem for which a DTC code does not exist. Many times the basics are overlooked and can be at- tributed
to improper maintenance. Some general rules to follow are:

Check to be sure the ECM is programmed with the latest calibration file

Check general engine tune up items such as spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires,
air, and fuel filters if equipped with such.

Check that the charging system is working correctly.

Check block heaters, battery heaters, battery terminals and fuel supply systems for proper operation.

77

78

INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
Intermittent fuel system problems can prove to be the most challenging to repair. It is most important to
remember when looking to find the cause of these problems, to operate the system in the condition when
and where the problem occurs. An example of this would be, if the DST showed a lean fuel mixture at full
load, one of the first things to look at would be the fuel pressure. The fuel pressure would need to be
monitored while the machine is operating at full load, not at idle because the leaning effect does not oc- cur
at idle. Electrical problems should be treated the same way. One excellent tool for finding
intermittent electrical problems is the DST plot/log function. Set up the plot for the code that sets. An example of this would be if an intermittent IAT code set, tag the IAT voltage and watch the plot. While
watching the plot, agitate the electrical wire connection at the sensor and ECM connector. The resolution
of the plot screen is such that you will be able to see any unstable voltages that you would otherwise not
see with a standard DVOM.
Caution should be used when pressure washing the under hood of any electrical system. Avoid direct
pressure spray on the system electrical connectors. They are splash proof, but if water is sprayed directly at the connector moisture can become trapped behind the connector seal and cause serious system
problems.
Extra care must be taken when probing electrical pins and terminals. Do not bend or spread these terminals as this can also be a source of intermittent problems cause by improper handling of these
connectors.

Engine Wire Harness Repair

85

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WIRE HARNESS REPAIR

REPAIRING TWISTED/SHIELDED CABLE

The ECM harness electrically connects the


ECM to a various components in both the engine and passenger compartments.
1. Remove outer jacket

Wire harnesses should be replaced with proper


part number harnesses. When wires are spliced
into a harness, use wire with high temperature
insulation only.

2. Unwrap aluminum/Mylar tape. Do not remove Mylar.

Low current and voltage levels are used in the


system, so it is important that the best possible
bond at all wire splices be made by soldering the
splices.
3. Untwist conductors, strip insulation as
necessary.

CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS


Use care when probing a connector or replacing
terminals in them to prevent shorting opposite
terminals and damage certain components. Always use jumper wires between connectors, for
circuit checking. Do not probe through the
Weather-Pack seals with oversized wire probes.
Use tachometer adapter J 35812 (or equivalent)
which provides an easy hook up of the tach lead.
The connector test adapter kit J 35616 (or
equivalent), contains an assortment of flexible
connectors used to probe terminals during diagnosis. Fuse remover and test tool BT 8616, or
equivalent, is used for removing a fuse and to
adapt fuse holder, with a meter, for diagnosis. Do
not solder oxygen sensor wire terminals as these
wire ends are used for the sensors oxygen
reference.

4. Splice wire using splice clips and rosin


core solder. Wrap each splice to insulate.
5. Wrap with Mylar and drain wire (uninsulated) wire.

6. Tape over entire juncture and secure.

Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight


due to dirt, oxidation, or terminal misalignment.
Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor, or in
the wiring harness, may correct the open circuit
condition. This should always be considered,
when an open circuit, or failed sensor is indicated. Intermittent problems may also be caused by
oxidized or loose connections.
Before making a connector repair, be certain of
the type of connector. Weather-Pack and Compact Three connectors look similar, but are
serviced differently.

86

REPAIRING TWISTED LEADS

METRI-PACK
Some connectors use terminals called MetriPack Series 150. They are also called Pull-ToSeat terminals because of the method of installation. The wire is inserted through the seal and
connector, the terminal is crimped on the wire
and then pulled back into the connector to seat it
in place.

1. Locate Damaged Wire.


2. Remove insulation as required.

3. Splice two wires together suing splice


clips and rosin core solder.

4. Cover splice with tape to insulated from


other wires.
5. Retwist as before and tape with electrical
tape and hold in place.
MICRO-PACK
Refer to Figure 2 and repair procedure for replacement of a Micro-Pack terminal.

Metri-Pack Series 150 Terminal Removal


1. Slide the seal back on the wire.
2. Insert tool BT-8518, or J 35689, or equivalent, as shown in insert A and B to release
the terminal locking tab (2).
3. Push the wire and terminal out through the
connector. If reusing the terminal, reshape
the locking tab (2).
WEATHER-PACK
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a
rubber seal, at the rear of the connector. The
connector is used in the engine compartment to
protect against moisture and dirt that may oxidize and/or corrode the terminals. Given the low
voltage and current levels found in the electronic
system, this protection is necessary to ensure a
good connection.

connector. They are used to improve the connector reliability by retaining the terminals, if the
small terminal lock tabs are not positioned
properly.
Weather-Pack connections cannot be replaced
with standard connections. Additional instructions are provided with Weather-Pack connector
and terminal packages.

1. Open secondary lock hinge on connector.

2. Remove terminal using tool.

3. Cut wire immediately behind cable seal

4. Replace terminal.
a. Slip new seal onto wire
b. Strip 5 mm (.2) of insulation from wire.
c. Crimp terminal over wire and seal.
5. Push terminal and connector and engage
locking tangs.
6. Close secondary lock hinge.
Use tool J M28742, or BT8234-A or equivalent to
remove the pin and sleeve terminals. If the removal is attempted with an ordinary pick, there is
a good chance that the terminal will be bent, or
deformed. Unlike standard blade type terminals,
these terminals cannot be straightened once
they are bent.
Verify that the connectors are properly seated
and all of the sealing rings in place, when connecting leads. The hinge type flap provides a

Ignition Control System Diagnostics

Before using the Ignition Control Diagnostic chart be sure to check the following items:
Spark plug wires:
Be sure spark plug wires are in good condition. Check for cuts, breaks, burns, hardness or swelling.
LPG fuel requires much higher peak firing voltages compared to gasoline. Check spark plug electrical
continuity using a DVOM. Wires should ohm out to no more than 1,000 ohms per foot of wire length.
Distributor cap and rotor:
Check the cap and rotor assembly for moisture, corrosion or carbon tracking. The ignition timing is not
adjustable. Turning the distributor assembly will not change the ignition timing, but will alter the rotor
phase. Wipe away dust and debris from the ignition coil tower.
System power fuses:
Check the system power fuses. These sources supply the ignition coil and module system power.
Check that the power and ground terminals are clean and in the proper location.

DTC 51 ETC TPS 1 Range

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Electronic Throttle Control


Check Condition-Ignition ON
Fault Condition-TPS 1 voltage below 0.2 TPS 2 voltage greater than 4.95
MIL-On during active fault
Circuit Description

The electronic throttle body has two throttle position sensors TPS1 and TPS2. The voltage from these
sensors is used to determine the percentage throttle opening. The TPS sensors have a nominal output
range of 0.2 to 4.95 volts. From the throttle body itself TPS1 ranges from 0.2 to 4.95 volts as the throttle is
opened, TPS2 ranges from 4.95 to 0.2 volts for this same closed to open travel. The ECM rectifies TPS2
signal so both signals on the diagnostic monitor read from 0.2 to 4.95 as the throttle is opened. The travel
of the throttle plate from the fully closed to the fully open mechanical stops may not use this entire range of
voltages. The ECM learns the actual range of voltages used and adjusts the THROTTLE POSITION reading to range from 0 to 100% over this used range of voltages. The system looks at both TPS signals and if
the readings are outside of the upper and lower limits or do not agree with each within limits a code will be
set. The following failure combinations and resulting outcomes are possible:
a) TPS1 fails open or shorted: MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS2, normal engine operation
b) TPS2 fails open or shorted: MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS1, normal engine operation
c) TPS1 & 2 fail open or shorted: MIL illuminated, ECM stops controlling throttle, throttle goes to limp
home position and is non- responsive, engine will high idle or allow truck to move slowly.
d) TPS1 & 2 do not match: MIL illuminated, ECM will use the higher of the two TPS readings resulting in
normal or less than normal engine power.

Circuit Description
There are two pedal position sensors on the electronic foot pedal to signal to the ECU exactly how much
throttle the driver has requested. The sensors are Hall Effect type not variable resistance sensors. The two
sensors are provided as a safety feature in case one sensor fails. While the system looks at both sensors,
sensor 1 is used to operate the system. The diagnostic tool allows the technician to monitor three signals
which relate to the foot pedal. The first is pedal position, the system automatically scales the full travel of the
pedal to equal 0 to 100 percent pedal position. The second and third signals are sensor 1 and sensor 2
voltages. Sensor 1 voltage can range from 0.66 to 4.95 volts but will usually be in the range of 1.0 to 3.6
volts. Sensor 2 voltage can range from 0.33 to 2.48 volts but will usually be in the range of 0.5 to 1.8 volts.

DTC 100 Oil Pressure Low/High/High at Stall

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The normal voltage output limits for this sensor are 0.5 volts to 4.5 volts. If at any time, the voltage output is
less than 0.46 volts or greater than 4.54 volts a DTC will be triggered. If the engine is not rotating the oil
pressure should not raise above 0 psig. Due to the nature of this sensor an open ground wire with Key ON
engine off may result in the signal voltage drifting up above 1 volt even at 0 psig oil pressure. To sense
this fault a diagnostic is triggered if at an engine speed of 0 rpm the sensor voltage is above 1.0 volts.
Circuit Description
The engine has an internal oil pump which creates oil pressure once the engine is rotating. An oil pressure
sensor monitors the pressure created by this oil pump.

MAP sensor signal voltage greater than 4.923 volts.
MAP sensor signal voltage less than 0.122 volts.
On successful engine start-up MAP value does not drop at least 9 kPa from Key ON engine off value.
Circuit Description

The Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor is a piezoelectric pressure sensor fitted to the manifold to measure
the pressure internal to the manifold. It is combined in one sensor with the manifold air temperature sensor
and referred to as the TMAP sensor. The MAP reading is used to determine the load and state of the engine. Because the sensor measures absolute pressure, with the Key ON, engine off, the reading should be
atmospheric pressure, displayed as kPa (approximately 100 kPa at sea level). The sensor operates on 5
volts and sends a signal voltage on the output circuit to the ECU. The ECU uses the signal to determine
correct fueling. Voltage varies from a low voltage when the MAP is low (below atmospheric) to high when
the MAP is close to or at atmospheric pressure. If there is a failure in the 5 volt reference to the TMAP sensor, a code will be set. Depending on the 5 volt failure mode, the system may go to the Limp Home mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

FRP Sensor
Check Condition-Key ON
Fault Condition-FRP voltage greater than 4.94 volts
Fault Condition-FRP voltage less than 0.25 volts
MIL-ON

Circuit Description
The FRP (Fuel Rail Pressure) is a sensor that monitors the state of the LP fuel in the fuel rail. A pressure
sensor located on the fuel rail monitors the fuel pressure. The output in conjunction with other sensors is
used to determine the appropriate injector pulse to deliver the fuel. A lower output voltage indicates a lower pressure, and higher voltage for higher pressure. This fault will set if the signal voltage is less than 0.25
or greater than 4.94 volts.

malfunction. The following DTC charts in this manual will instruct the technician to perform the
OBD system check. This simply means to verify the operation of the MIL. The lamp should
illuminate when the key is in the ON position, and the engine is not running. This fea- ture
verifies that the lamp is in proper working order. If the lamp does not illuminate with the
vehicle Key ON and engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the engine is in start or
run mode, the lamp should go off. If the lamp stays on while the engine is in the start or run
mode, a current diagnostic trouble code may be set or a problem may exist with the MIL electrical wiring. The electrical schematic above shows the MIL power source supplied to the
lamp. The ECM completes the circuit to ground to turn the lamp ON.

DTC 522614 Throttle Failed to Enter Limp Home

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Electronic Throttle Control


Check Condition-Ignition ON
Fault Condition-Throttle return spring test
MIL-On during active fault
Circuit Description

Dual throttle position sensors (TPS) are used with the electronic throttle control (ETC) to determine
throttle plate position. The TPS values are used by the ECM to determine if the throttle is opening and
closing as commanded. The ECM runs several checks at ignition on to validate the working condition of
the ETC. This fault will set if the ECM detects a problem with the ETC internal return spring.

DTC 522630 Oxygen Sensor Failure to Switch Lean, Bank 1

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The short term fuel correction has a range of 25%. If the correction reaches the upper or lower limit, it will
then try an additional 2% change to watch for an O2 switch. If the sensor switches with the additional 2%, a
short term fuel correction code will be set. If the sensor does not switch with the additional 2% change, the
system will set a code for a sensor that fails to switch rich or lean.
Circuit Description
The system monitors the O2 sensor to ensure that the fuel control is functioning properly. The HEGO sensor is mounted in the exhaust system downstream of the engine. The HEGO sensor is used to measure
the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream and communicates that to the ECM via an electrical
signal. The amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream indicates whether the fuel air ratio is rich or
lean. If the HEGO sensor signal indicates that the exhaust stream is rich, the ECM will decrease or lean the
fuel mixture by reducing the short term fuel correction value which reduces the injector on-time supplying
less fuel. If the mixture is lean, the ECM will richen the mixture or increase the short term fuel correction
value which will increase the pulse width to the injectors. Under normal steady operation the short term
fuel correction value should move up and down approx. 5%. This 5% movement may range within a plus
25 to minus 25 percent window. The ECM continuously monitors the HEGO sensor output. If a rich or lean
condition is present for an extended period of time and if the ECM cannot correct the condition, the ECM
will set a diagnostic code and turn on the MIL light in the dash. NOTE: The HEGO sensor is sensitive to
silicone and silicone-based products and can become contaminated. Avoid using silicone sealers or hoses
treated with silicone lubricant in the air stream or fuel supply lines.
Diagnostic Aids
Low fuel pressure
Partially blocked fuel injectors
Manifold vacuum leaks
Defective O2 sensor
A misfire on one or more cylinders
Exhaust leak ahead of the O2 sensor
Faulty MAP sensor

short term fuel correction code will be set. If the sensor does not switch with the additional 2% change, the
system will set a code for a sensor that fails to switch rich or lean.
Circuit Description
The system monitors the O2 sensor to ensure that the fuel control is functioning properly. The HEGO
sensor is mounted in the exhaust system downstream of the engine. The HEGO sensor is used to measure the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream and communicates that to the ECM via an
electrical signal. The amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream indicates whether the fuel air ratio is
rich or lean. If the HEGO sensor signal indicates that the exhaust stream is rich, the ECM will decrease or
lean the fuel mixture by reducing the short term fuel correction value which reduces the injector on-time
supplying less fuel. If the mixture is lean, the ECM will richen the mixture or increase the short term fuel
correction value which will increase the pulse width to the injectors. Under normal steady operation the
short term fuel correction value should move up and down approx. 5%. This 5% movement may range
within a plus 25 to minus 25 percent window. The ECM continuously monitors the HEGO sensor output. If
a rich or lean condition is present for an extended period of time and if the ECM cannot correct the condition, the ECM will set a diagnostic code and turn on the MIL light in the dash. NOTE: The HEGO sensor is
sensitive to silicone and silicone-based products and can become contaminated. Avoid using silicone sealers or hoses treated with silicone lubricant in the air stream or fuel supply lines.
Diagnostic Aids
Low fuel pressure
Partially blocked fuel injectors
Manifold vacuum leaks
Defective O2 sensor
A misfire on one or more cylinders

Electronic Throttle Control


Check Condition-Ignition ON
Fault Condition-TPS 1 voltage below 0.2 TPS 2 voltage greater than 4.95
MIL-On during active fault
Circuit Description

The electronic throttle body has two throttle position sensors TPS1 and TPS2. The voltage from these
sensors is used to determine the percentage throttle opening. The TPS sensors have a nominal output
range of 0.2 to 4.95 volts. From the throttle body itself TPS1 ranges from 0.2 to 4.95 volts as the throttle is
opened, TPS2 ranges from 4.95 to 0.2 volts for this same closed to open travel. The ECM rectifies TPS2
signal so both signals on the diagnostic monitor read from 0.2 to 4.95 as the throttle is opened. The travel
of the throttle plate from the fully closed to the fully open mechanical stops may not use this entire range of
voltages. The ECM learns the actual range of voltages used and adjusts the THROTTLE POSITION reading to range from 0 to 100% over this used range of voltages. The system looks at both TPS signals and if
the readings are outside of the upper and lower limits or do not agree with each within limits a code will be
set. The following failure combinations and resulting outcomes are possible:
a) TPS1 fails open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS2, normal engine operation
b) TPS2 fails open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS1, normal engine operation
c) TPS1 & 2 fail open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM stops controlling throttle, throttle goes to limp
home position and is non-responsive, engine will high idle or allow truck to move slowly.
d) TPS1 & 2 do not match, - MIL illuminated, ECM will use the higher of the two TPS readings resulting in
normal or less than normal engine power.

set. The following failure combinations and resulting outcomes are possible:
a) TPS1 fails open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS2, normal engine operation
b) TPS2 fails open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM uses TPS1, normal engine operation
c) TPS1 & 2 fail open or shorted, - MIL illuminated, ECM stops controlling throttle, throttle goes to limp
home position and is non-responsive, engine will high idle or allow truck to move slowly.
d) TPS1 & 2 do not match, - MIL illuminated, ECM will use the higher of the two TPS readings resulting in
normal or less than normal engine power.

Circuit Description
There are two pedal position sensors on the electronic foot pedal to signal to the ECU exactly how much
throttle the driver has requested. The sensors are Hall Effect type not variable resistance sensors. The two
sensors are provided as a safety feature in case one sensor fails. While the system looks at both sensors,
sensor 1 is used to operate the system. The diagnostic tool allows the technician to monitor three signals
which relate to the foot pedal. The first is pedal position, the system automatically scales the full travel of the
pedal to equal 0 to 100 percent pedal position. The second and third signals are sensor 1 and sensor 2
voltages. Sensor 1 voltage can range from 0.66 to 4.95 volts but will usually be in the range of 1.0 to 3.6
volts. Sensor 2 voltage can range from 0.33 to 2.48 volts but will usually be in the range of 0.5 to 1.8 volts.

DTC 522739 Oxygen Sensor Short/Open

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The maximum current, current to ground, and drain voltage are monitored internally to the ECU. If the current at the driver chip goes above 3 amps, current to ground goes above 100 micro Amps, or voltage drops
below 3 volts, a diagnostic code will be set.

Circuit Description
The system monitors the O2 sensor to ensure that the fuel control is functioning properly. The HEGO sensor is mounted in the exhaust system downstream of the engine. It is used to measure the amount of
oxygen present in the exhaust stream and communicates that to the ECM via an electrical signal. The
amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream indicates whether the fuel air ratio is rich or lean. If the
HEGO sensor signal indicates that the exhaust stream is rich, the ECM will decrease or lean the fuel mixture by reducing the short term fuel correction value which reduces the injector on-time supplying less fuel. If
the mixture is lean, the ECM will richen the mixture or increase the short term fuel correction value which
will increase the pulse width to the injectors. Under normal steady operation the short term fuel correction
value should move up and down approx. 5%. This 5% movement may range within a plus 25 to minus 25
percent window. The ECM continuously monitors the HEGO sensor output. If a rich or lean condition is
present for an extended period of time and if the ECM cannot correct the condition, the ECM will set a diagnostic code and turn on the MIL light in the dash. The O2 sensor uses a heater circuit to bring it up to
operating temperature as quickly as possible, as well as maintaining the temperature during idle. The heater is controlled by the ECU, which will cycle the heater to prevent overheating of the sensor

DTC 522752 Start Failure Due to Cam Signal Error

Conditions for setting the DTC


This fault will set if the ECU does not detect a cam pulse within 16 engine revolutions whenever the engine
is cranking or running.
Circuit Description
The camshaft position sensor (CMP) is a Hall Effect sensor used to synchronize the fuel and ignition systems. The sensor produces a short 5 volt square wave pulse every two engine revolutions. The signal wire
from the CAM sensor is held up at 5 volts by a pull-up resistor in the ECU. The CAM sensor pulls this
5 volt level to ground until a small hole in the end of the camshaft passes the sensor at which time the signal goes high to 5 volts for a brief period.

DTC 524260 5 Volt Power Supply 1 Out of Spec

Conditions for Setting the DTC


The voltage output of the two power supplies are compared against two range limits. The first Out of Spec
limits are 4.8 to 5.2 volts the second Malfunction limits are 4.5 to 5.5 volts. If the 5 volts supplies are
outside the Out of Spec limits but not outside the broader Malfunction limits the sensors and components will continue to operate but at a reduced accuracy. If the 5 volt supplies are outside the malfunction
range sensors and components may fail to operate. The voltage being outside the malfunction limits may
be an indication of a short to ground or short to battery voltage somewhere in the system. Voltage supply at
the 5 volt reference is less than 4.8 volts or greater than 5.2 volts.
NOTE: If the 5 volt supply is shorted to ground through wiring or a sensor, this code may set.
Circuit Description
The ECU has two externally available 5 volt regulated power supplies. These power supplies are used as
a power source and or a reference voltage for the various sensors and components used in the fuel system. If there is an out of spec fault in either 5 volt supply, the system will go to the Limp Home mode.

XII. CHECKING/DRAINING OIL BUILD-UP IN


THE LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR
During the course of normal operation oil or
heavy ends may build inside the secondary
chamber of the Regulator. These oil and heavy
ends may be a result of poor fuel quality, contamination of the fuel, or regional variation of the fuel
make up. A significant build up of oil can affect
the performance of the secondary diaphragm response. The Recommended Maintenance
Schedule found in this section recommends that
the oil be drained periodically. This is the minimum requirement to maintain the emission
warranty. More frequent draining of the Regulator
is recommended for special situation where substandard fuel may be a problem. IMPCO
recommends the Regulator be drained at every
engine oil change if contaminated or substandard
fuel is suspected or known to be have been used
or in use with the emission complaint fuel system.
This is known as special maintenance, and failure
to follow this recommendation may be used to deny a warranty claim.

A small amount of fuel may still be present


in the fuel line. Use gloves and proper eye
protection to prevent burns. If liquid fuel
continues to flow from the connections
when removed, make sure the manual
valve is fully closed.

Labor Time Guide

299

INTRODUCTION

TIME ALLOWANCES

This Guide provides the labor times for repairs


and service operations covered under warranty
for IMPCO Technologies Engine Systems Division fuel systems. It applies to 2008 model year
3.0L GM Emission Certified Engines

The labor times include the removal, disassembly, cleaning, re-assembly, installation and/or
adjustment of the affected component or assembly. Any cleaning time is limited to the
installation or replacement of components (such
as mating surfaces) and does not include cleaning other areas of the vehicle contaminated by
failure of the component (e.g. coolant sprayed
inside the engine compartment). Labor operations that require more than one technician are
adjusted to represent the total time for all technicians.

The warranty reimbursement for the labor operations can be calculated when used in conjunction
with the IMPCO Policy & Procedures Manual.
The labor times published in this Guide identify
labor operations and labor times required to perform a repair, replacement and/or adjustment
operation. These times represent those of an average technician in a typical dealership using
standard hand tools, equipment and some Special Service Tools. They are not intended to be
used as retail labor rates.

LABOR TIME STUDY DEVELOPMENT


GENERAL
The labor times published in this Guide were developed by IMPCO using genuine IMPCO parts
and procedures listed in the IMPCO Service
Manual. They include the actual time required to
perform the operation and diagnose the system
or component failure. All operations also include
a standard allowance for access time to locate
the vehicle, move it to a safe and suitable work
area, access the engine, use of Special Service
Tools and time to open packaged parts. The
times also provide for operation variables but do
not include time to remove and/or replace nonIMPCO components and accessories.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The Operation Description identifies the repair to
be performed and may include sub-headings
such as: ADD conditions, NOTES, INCLUDES
and other information. This information is essential for both the technician and warranty claim
processing personnel to properly complete a
warranty claim for accurate cost recovery.

FAILED PART / CAUSAL PART


The Failed or Causal Part is the part that caused
the repair and/or replacement of other parts. The
technician must identify the part as defective
(i.e., one that exhibits a flaw or manufacturers
defect in material or workmanship). The Causal
Part must be tagged for warranty failure analysis identification prior to returning it to IMPCO
Technologies.

TROUBLE CODES / CONDITION CODING


TOOLS
The labor time studies were based on the use of
standard hand tools and Special Service Tools.
No power-operated tools were used. The labor
times were developed by general technicians following procedures described in the Service
Manual Supplement, Service Publications and
good shop practices. The times were calculated
using an engine mounted on a stand.

Each failed or causal part must be coded to identify the manufacturers defect of the part as
accurately as possible (see Trouble Code chart).
The code selected by the repairing technician
identifies the manufacturers defect and/or workmanship condition qualifying the repair for
warranty coverage.

ADD CONDITIONS
Add Conditions may be required to complete or
supplement a labor operation and are included in
the Add sections under the Labor Operation Description. If an ADD is performed, the allowed

300

labor time for the ADD must be recorded on the


shop repair order under the Operation Number.

complete when the cause of failure has been


identified.

REPLACE

REPAIR DIAGNOSIS

Replace is used when the part or assembly is


subject to replacement only. This includes the
transfer of attached components from the original
part to the new part, the installation of the new
part and any inspection, adjustment, or required
cleaning or lubrication operations.

These are the checks, tests and measurements


required to identify the cause of a failure and/or
failed part. Examples include:

R&R OR REPLACE
R&R refers to a part or assembly that is removed
and re-installed after the part has been aligned,
adjusted, repaired as a separate operation or
removed for a sublet repair. Replace means the
part or assembly can be replaced with a new (or
exchanged) part or assembly (see the Replace
paragraph above).

INCLUDES
The INCLUDES which follow some of the Labor
Descriptions are provided to assist in determining
whether or not certain items or functions are included within the operation (these are not all
encompassing to simplify the use of this Guide).
Examples include:

Fuel System Evacuation


Leak Check
Cooling system drain and refill

Refer to the IMPCO Service Manual Supplement


or use the Request for Review Form to question
and/or recommend changes.

Cleaning and inspection of all parts.


Use of test equipment.
Use of common instruments such as an
ohmmeter, volt-amp meter, a leak detector or
a cooling system pressure tester that may be
required by IMPCO Service Manual Supplement procedures.

Repair Diagnosis is the responsibility of the technician.

LABOR OPERATION NUMBER


A Labor Operation Number is assigned to the
labor performed and must be recorded on the
warranty claim. The Labor Operation Number
can be found in this Guide or IMPCO Technical
Service Bulletins.

OVERLAPPING LABOR
Overlapping labor is labor time is where two operations include the same repair steps.
Overlapping time is not compensated; therefore,
the repeated labor time must be deducted from
the second labor operation so that the total time
entered is less than the sum of the combined labor times.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS

DUPLICATE LABOR

It is the duty of the service technician to translate


the customer's complaint into a specific symptom.
Examples include: stalling, hesitation,
surges, engine cranks but will not start, etc.
Symptoms also include readily apparent failures
to the senses of sight, touch, sound and smell,
such as leaking coolant line or cracked casting.

Duplicate Labor is the same labor charged twice,


either to two different cost recovery sources, or
overlapping labor charged to the same or different cost recovery sources. Duplicate Labor is
not eligible for compensation unless authorized
by IMPCO.

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Symptom Diagnosis is the process used to determine the source of the problem and is the
responsibility of both the technician and dealership management.
Symptom Diagnosis is

STRAIGHT TIME
Straight Time is applicable only when a labor operation is required and no labor operation
description or operation number exists in this
Guide. All Straight Time is governed by Policy
A and is subject to review and approval by
IMPCO before payment is reimbursed. Precise

301

labor step documentation indexed to time is required and must be recorded on the shop repair
order to identify and justify this expense. Prior
approval may be obtained by contacting IMPCO
Technical Assistance 1-866-473-2851.

time that is necessary to complete a satisfactory


diagnosis that beyond the normal time allowed.
This time must be identified as Additional Diagnostics and follow the same time recording and
labor step documentation as Straight Time.

ADDITIONAL OR OTHER LABOR

It is the responsibility of qualified dealership supervisory personnel to assist technicians in both


customer Problem Analysis and Symptom Diagnosis.

Additional or Other Labor may be required when


unusual or abnormal conditions are encountered.
This time must be identified as such and follow
the same time recording and labor step documentation as Straight Time.
Warranty
compensation for all additional time falls under
Policy A and is subject to review and approval
by IMPCO before payment is reimbursed. Prior
approval may be obtained by contacting IMPCO
Technical Assistance at 1-866-473-2851.

POLICY CODES
Certain IMPCO Policy Codes apply to the Generic Labor Operations listed on page 7. Policy
codes and descriptions are:
Policy A Is subject to review by IMPCO before reimbursement.
Policy B Will require approval from IMPCO
before expense is incurred
Policy S Sublet of work to a facility outside
the normal OEM dealer network, and requires
approval from IMPCO prior to incurring the expense
All prior approvals may be obtained by contacting
IMPCO Technical Assistance at 1-866-473-2851.

NORMAL & ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS


Normal repair diagnosis time is included in all
labor time operations. Additional Diagnostics is

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Service technicians must call the OEM Technical
Assistance whenever extensive diagnosis or repair advice is required, or to verify a vehicles
warranty.
OEM Technical Assistance personnel must contact IMPCO Technical Service personnel to
obtain authorization for those repairs or additional labor that require prior authorization for
warranty compensation. IMPCO Technical Assistance may be contacted at (1-866-473-2851)
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Pacific Time Monday through Friday except holidays.

forms via an FTP site using the OEM user ID and
Passwords (supplied by IMPCO Technical Assistance). The forms may be submitted individually
or batched. The claims will be reviewed and approved or declined and the OEM will be notified
via an electronic response from the IMPCO warranty administrator. The OEM may then submit
an invoice for payment of approved claims to
IMPCO for payment of those claims.

REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF LABOR TIMES


IMPCO will provide all possible assistance in the development process, the content of individual standards, the means for accomplishing repairs within the times established and the assurance that every
effort has been made to maintain the accuracy of these times. IMPCO will review and, if necessary, adjust any allowance that is inconsistent with the time actually being spent on warranty repairs that are
within the scope and definitions described in this guide.
Although the same methods of labor time allowance development are applied to every labor time study,
the actual time required to make a repair on a like component may vary. Changes to labor times are
made based on one or more of the following:

Design change of the component.

Design change in other components that affect the accessibility to the repaired component.

Change in the procedure or method of repair.

Change in the tools or equipment used to make the repair.

Final review and verification of times after receiving a Request for Review form.

Questions and/or suggestions regarding labor operations or time allowances in the Labor Time Guide
must be submitted on a Request for Review form. This form is the last page of this guide.
A properly completed form will provide IMPCO detailed information identifying the technicians difficulties
in performing a labor operation within the published labor time allowance. When completing this form, it
is important that all vehicle identification data affecting or influencing the operation in question be provided.

OEM RESPONSIBILITIES
Your request for review must include a detailed, step by step description of your labor procedure in the
space provided. This will allow IMPCO to both understand your concern and potential cause(s) for the
variance between your actual time and the published labor time.
When submitting a Request for Review, the following steps are required:

Verify that the technician has followed Service Manual Supplement procedure and utilized all necessary equipment and is properly trained.

Complete the Request for Review Form included in this Guide.

Use one form for each labor allowance in question (or combination of standards representing one repair job).

Provide specific performance time for two repairs performed by the same technician to assist in determining average time.

Identify the technician involved, should it be necessary to review the process.

Provide comments that may help in identifying the problem area including individual step times.

Sign and forward the form to IMPCO.

IMPCO RESPONSIBILITIES
Upon receipt of the Request for Review form, IMPCO will review the procedure and consider changing
the labor time. Changes in a labor time will appear as a Warranty Bulletin or the next revision of the Labor Time Guide.

313

COMPLETING THE REQUEST FOR REVIEW FORM


When completing the request for review form, include a detailed description of each step, list all components, numbers, type of fasteners, and any Special Service Tools or procedures that are required. Use
the Labor Time Study form and include it with the Request for Review sheet on page 18.
When complete, send both forms to:
