Operation
If the engine does not start after 30 seconds of cranking, allow
two to three minutes for the starter to cool before trying again.
If the engine does not start after three attempts, determine the
cause. Excessive cranking may damage the starter.
After the Engine Starts
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or
damage to property, if the CHECK ELEC SYS
indicator illuminates and stays on, a major
electrical system failure has occurred.
Stop
the vehicle and inspect critical accessories and
gauges to determine driveability. Have vehicle
repaired immediately.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or
damage to property, if the CHECK ELEC SYS
indicator illuminates and goes out after one
minute, there is an active fault somewhere
in the electrical system.
Stop vehicle and
inspect operation of exterior lamps to determine
driveability.
NOTE: Refer to the Engine Operation and Maintenance
Manual supplied with your vehicle for special starting
procedures.
On some engines, the WAIT TO START indicator illuminates
after the engine starts. Allow the engine to idle about three
minutes or until the engine coolant temperature gauge begins
to rise. Maintain idle speed until the WAIT TO START indicator
cycles off (approximately six minutes), which means the glow
plugs have shut OFF.
• Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
• Ensure the engine oil pressure is indicated on the gauge
within 20 seconds after starting.
• Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating
with a full load.
• Avoid extended idling (beyond 10 minutes) whenever
possible.
To maximize engine and Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) life, see exhaust diesel particulate filter
regeneration in this section for more information.
• When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed
(rpm) slowly to ensure adequate lubrication is available to
the bearings.
Engine Features
The engines are electronically controlled diesel engines. The
engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors and controls
the injection process and other engine functions. The ECM also
communicates with the Body Controller (BC) and alerts it to
out-of-range operating conditions. The BC, in turn, generates
engine function indicators and warning indicators. Since many
of the engine performance features are owner selectable and
electronically programmable, some of the operating parameters
will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
