Express 3500 V8-6.0L (2010)
Important: New test results will not be recorded if the Min/Max results are not cleared after each injector is tested.
6. Clear the Min/Max results.
7. Select Normal from the Display Mode.
8. Repeat steps 2 and 4 through 7 for each fuel injector.
9. Perform the Pressure Drop Calculation.
Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2
1. Command the fuel pump relay ON and then OFF three times with a scan tool. On the last command, as the fuel pressure begins to slowly degrade
and stabilize, select a fuel pressure within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the maximum pump pressure. Record this fuel pressure. This is the starting pressure at
which you will pulse each injector.
2. With a scan tool, select the Fuel Injector Balance Test function within the Special Functions menu.
3. Select an injector to be tested.
4. Press Enter to prime the fuel system.
5. Energize the fuel injector by depressing the Pulse Injector button on the scan tool at the previously selected pressure.
6. After the injector stops pulsing, select Min from the Display Mode on the CH-48027 and record the Min pressure.
Important: New test results will not be recorded if the Min/Max results are not cleared after each injector is tested.
7. Clear the Min/Max results on the CH-48027.
8. Select Normal from the Display Mode on the CH-48027.
9. Press Enter on the scan tool to bring you back to the Select Injector screen.
10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each fuel injector.
11. Perform the Pressure Drop Calculation.
Pressure Drop Calculation
1. Subtract the minimum pressure from the starting pressure for one fuel injector. The result is the pressure drop value.
2. Obtain a pressure drop value for each fuel injector.
3. Add all of the individual pressure drop values except for the injector suspected of being faulty. This is the total pressure drop.
4. Divide the total pressure drop by the number of fuel injectors that were added together. This is the average pressure drop. The difference between
any individual pressure drop and the average pressure drop should not be more than 20 kPa (3 psi).
‹› If the difference between any individual pressure drop and the average pressure drop is more than 20 kPa (3 psi), replace the fuel injector,
E-85 only. All other engine, refer to Fuel Injector Cleaning (See: Service and Repair/Procedures).
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and
Associated Procedures/Verification Tests and Procedures) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
