ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Section 4
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.
Select the 1/4 in. transducer (Black).
2.
Clamp on the 1/4 in. transducer to the No. 1
fuel injection line (See Figure 11) at the injection
nozzle end.
IMPORTANT
THE
TRANSDUCER
MUST
BE
SECURELY ATTACHED ON A STRAIGHT
SECTION OF THE FUEL LINE WITHIN 4
IN. OF THE INJECTION NOZZLE.
CLEAN THE FUEL LINE WITH ABRASIVE
CLOTH OR STEEL WOOL TO REMOVE
ALL PAINT PRIOR TO AFFIXING THE
TRANSDUCER.
DO NOT ALLOW THE TRANSDUCER TO
CONTACT THE INJECTION LINE NUT.
DO
NOT
OVERTIGHTEN
THE
TRANSDUCER ON THE FUEL LINE. A
"SNUG"
FIT
IS
ALL
THAT
IS
NECESSARY FOR PULSE DETECTION.
3.
Connect ground clip from transducer to an
appropriate ground as shown in Figure 11.
4.
Connect transducer to timing unit PICK-UP (4,
Figure 10) using transducer connecting cable (9,
Figure 10).
IMPORTANT
TRANSDUCER MUST BE DRY. WET
CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE ERRATIC
READINGS. IF ERRATIC READINGS
ARE
OBSERVED,
REMOVE
TRANSDUCER,
WIPE
LINE
AND
TRANSDUCER WITH A CLEAN, DRY
CLOTH AND SPRAY TRANSDUCER,
ON ALL SURFACES, WITH A WATER
DISPLACING SUBSTANCE, SUCH AS
WD-40® AND RECLAMP ON THE
FUEL LINE.
5.
Connect the POWER SOURCE CLIPS (7,
Figure 10) to the vehicle battery terminals or 8 to
28 volt supply [red to "+", black to "-"] OBSERVE
POLARITY OR DAMAGE TO CABLES MAY
RESULT!
6.
6.9 Liter Diesel uses magnetic probe method for
determining crankshaft position.
MAGNETIC PROBE METHOD - CRANKSHAFT
MONITORING 6.9 LITER DIESEL only.
1.
Connect the magnetic probe (Figure 11) to the
timing unit by inserting plug into probe JACK (3,
Figure 10).
2.
Insert the magnetic probe into the magnetic pick-
up access hole located on the engine (Figure
11).
3.
Turn the Function Switch (1, Figure 10) to
"OFFSET". With power applied to the timing
unit, the DEGREE DISPLAY should light up and
read "SET 20.0".
NOTE: The 6.9L Diesel has a 20° OFFSET thus no
OFFSET adjustment is required.
4.
Turn
FUNCTION
CONTROL
SWITCH
TO
"PROBE". The RPM display should read 0 and
the DEGREE DISPLAY should read 0.0.
5.
Set timing unit to "HIGH TRIGGER" mode.
IMPORTANT
HIGH TRIGGER MODE MUST BE
USED WITH THIS METER. USE OF
THE LOW TRIGGER SETTING WILL
RESULT
IN
FAULTY
TIMING
READING.
