SERVICE MAN. UPDATE - SEC. 6C2 DIESEL FUEL INJ. REV. ADJ. PRO

THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTS NEW AND/OR REVISED INFORMATION FOR SECTION 6C2 IN THE 1991-93 C/K, R/V, G, AND P SERVICE MANUALS.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DIAGNOSIS TO IDENTIFY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES 21, 22, AND 23 FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, REFER TO ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES.'' FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE LISTED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES, REFER TO SECTION 6E2 OF THE VEHICLE SERVICE MANUAL. IF IT'S DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NEEDS ADJUSTMENT, FOLLOW THE ADJUSTING PROCEDURE AS FOLLOWS:

ADD DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART HERE

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT

* THERE ARE TWO THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS USED FOR THE MODELS INDICATED IN THIS SMU. REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART TO MAKE SURE THE PROPER THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SETTINGS ARE FOLLOWED.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

J 33043-2 TP SENSOR GAGE BLOCK SET

J 39200 DIGITAL MULTIMETER (OR EQUIVALENT). ADJUST (FIGURES 1 AND 2)

1. REMOVE THE AIR CLEANER AND RELATED HOSES. REFER TO SECTION 6C.

2. DISCONNECT THE TP SENSOR CONNECTOR AND INSERT JUMPER WIRES BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND HARNESS. JUMPERS CAN BE MADE USING THE FOLLOWING TERMINAL P/N INFORMATION. REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART. THREE JUMPER WIRES OR THEIR EQUIVALENT WILL BE NECESSARY (FIGURE 1). FIGURE 1--CONNECTING THE DIGITAL MULTIMETER

3. TURN KEY TO ''ON'' (ENGINE NOT RUNNING).

4. USING A DIGITAL MULTIMETER J 39200 OR EQUIVALENT, MEASURE THE VOLTAGE FROM THE TP SENSOR CONNECTOR TERMINALS ''A'' TO ''C.'' THIS IS THE VOLTAGE REFERENCE.

IMPORTANT

* THE TP SENSOR VOLTAGE IS DISPLAYED BY THE TECH 1, HOWEVER, IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY THE MULTIMETER BE USED TO SET THE TP SENSOR AS THE TECH 1 VOLTAGE MAY READ HIGHER THAN THE MULTIMETER.

5. MULTIPLY THE VOLTAGE RATIO X VOLTAGE REFERENCE NUMBER (FROM STEP 4) = REQUIRED TP SENSOR VOLTAGE SETTING. EXAMPLE: 0.33 (VOLTAGE RATIO X 4.97 (VOLTAGE REFERENCE) = 1.64 VOLTS (DESIRED VOLTAGE SETTING). REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART FOR CALCULATING THE CORRECT TP SENSOR VOLTAGE SETTING.

6. INSERT THE 0.646 SIDE OF THE TP SENSOR GAGE BLOCK (J 33043-2) BETWEEN THE GAGE BOSS ON THE INJECTOR PUMP AND THE WIDE-OPEN STOP SCREW ON THE THROTTLE LEVER (FIGURE 2).

FIGURE 2--INSTALLING THE GAGE BLOCK

7. ROTATE THE THROTTLE LEVER TOWARD THE WIDE-OPEN POSITION SO THAT THE GAGE BLOCK IS HELD FIRMLY IN PLACE.

8. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE BETWEEN TERMINALS ''B'' AND ''C.'' THIS IS THE TP SENSOR VOLTAGE. IT MUST BE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIED TOLERANCE OF THE DESIRED TP SENSOR VOLTAGE SETTING. REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART.

EXAMPLE: THE ACTUAL TP SENSOR VOLTAGE FOR TP SENSOR (GM P/N 10137417) SHOULD BE BETWEEN 1.62 VOLTS AND 1.66 VOLTS. FOR ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH (GM P/N 14071076) TP SENSOR VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 3.10 AND 3.16 VOLTS.

9. IF THE TP SENSOR VOLTAGE IS WITHIN TOLERANCE, THEN PROCEED TO STEP 12.

10. TO ADJUST THE TP SENSOR, LOOSEN THE TWO ATTACHING SCREWS AND ROTATE THE TP SENSOR TO ITS FULL LEFT POSITION (FACING SENSOR). ROTATE THE SENSOR BACK TO THE RIGHT UNTIL THE DESIRED SENSOR VOLTAGE SETTING (FROM STEP 5) IS OBTAINED. (NOTE: TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT POSITION, THE SENSOR MUST BE ROTATED TO THE RIGHT FROM ITS FULL LEFT POSITION.)

11. WHEN THE CORRECT VOLTAGE IS OBTAINED, HOLD THE SENSOR IN THIS POSITION AND TIGHTEN THE ATTACHING SCREWS TO 6 N.M (53 LBS. IN.).

12. RELEASE THE THROTTLE LEVER AND ALLOW IT TO RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. OPEN THE THROTTLE LEVER BACK AGAINST THE GAGE BLOCK AND RE-CHECK THE TP SENSOR. IT MUST BE WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TOLERANCE OF THE REQUIRED TP SENSOR VOLTAGE. REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART. RETURN TO STEP 10 IF ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY.

13. ONCE THE TP SENSOR HAS BEEN SET, THE WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) VOLTAGE SETTING MUST BE CHECKED. MULTIPLY THE WOT VOLTAGE RATIO X VOLTAGE REFERENCE (FROM STEP 4) = REQUIRED WOT VOLTAGE. EXAMPLE: 0.90 (WOT VOLTAGE RATIO) X 4.97 (VOLTAGE REFERENCE) = 4.47 (WOT VOLTAGE). REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART FOR THE CORRECT TP SENSOR PART NUMBER.

14. TO MEASURE THE ACTUAL WOT VOLTAGE, REMOVE THE GAGE BLOCK TOOL. MOVE THE THROTTLE TO THE WIDE OPEN POSITION AND CHECK THE VOLTAGE. IT MUST BE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING WOT VOLTAGE SETTING TOLERANCE FOR THE TP SENSOR SPECIFIED. REFER TO THE ''THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA'' CHART.

ADD THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR DATA CHART HERE

EXAMPLE: FOR ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH TP SENSOR (GM P/N 10137417) ACCEPTABLE WOT VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 4.22 TO 4.72 VOLTS. FOR ENGINES EQUIPPED WITH TP SENSOR (GM P/N 14071076) ACCEPTABLE WOT IS BETWEEN 4.77 TO 4.97 VOLTS.

15. IF ADJUSTMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE, OR IF SENSOR VOLTAGE AT WOT POSITION IS NOT WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE, REPLACE THE TP SENSOR AND REPEAT THE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE AGAIN.

16. TURN THE ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH TO ''OFF.''

17. REMOVE THE JUMPER WIRES AND RECONNECT THE TP SENSOR TO THE VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS.

18. REINSTALL AIR CLEANER AND RELATED HOSES. REFER TO SECTION 6C.
