Introduction The fuel injection system is controlled through the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump located inside the DFCM and provides pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel pump contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted flow. Engine protection mode Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These features are intended to modify engine performance characteristics. If these modified engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period or either the service engine soon or powertrain malfunction/reduced power/ electronic throttle control light is illuminated, seek service from your authorized dealer. Lubrication system It is important to change the engine oil at the recommended service intervals to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change interval beyond the recommended interval can negatively affect engine performance, fuel economy and engine life. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance chapter.

The fuel injection system is controlled through the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump
located inside the DFCM and provides pressurized fuel to the engine.
The fuel pump contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure
protection in the event of restricted flow.
Engine protection mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission
control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and
pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These features are
intended to modify engine performance characteristics.
If these modified engine
performance characteristics persist
for an extended period or either the
service engine soon or powertrain
malfunction/reduced power/
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, seek service from your authorized dealer.
Lubrication system
It is important to change the engine oil at the recommended service
intervals to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change
interval beyond the recommended interval can negatively affect engine
performance, fuel economy and engine life. Refer to
Engine oil
in the
Maintenance
chapter.
Fast start glow plug system
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
the glow plug control module (GPCM)
engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
barometric pressure (BARO) sensor
environmental temperature sensor
