For a hard start/no start concern with the engine oil temperature (EOT) below 15°C (60°F) carry out the Glow Plug System Operation Testfirst.

The purpose of this test is to check the general condition of the engine and look for obvious causes of a hard start or no start condition.

Visual Engine/Chassis Inspection

NOTE:The camshaft position (CMP) sensor, crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the powertrain control module (PCM) connectors are the mostcritical electronic components to inspect in no start situations.

• Verify there are no fluid or pressure leaks.

• Inspect all wire connections for damage.

• Inspect the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor, charge air cooler (CAC) and intake forleaks.

• Check for aftermarket performance products.

Fuel Oil Coolant Electrical Hoses Leaks

Method Check

Visual

Recommended Procedure:Inspect the fuel system, including the fuel tank and the fuel lines for kinks, bends or leakage. Inspect for coolant leaks at the radiator and theheater hoses and check the coolant level. Inspect the MAP sensor, IAT2 sensor, and the CAC for leaks. Inspect wiring for correct routing andmake sure no rubbing or chafing has occurred. Inspect the engine harness, PCM, and sensor connectors to make sure they are completelyseated and in good condition. Check for aftermarket performance products. If aftermarket performance products are present, return to originalequipment manufacturers (OEM) components as necessary.

Possible Causes:

• Loose or leaking fuel supply lines cause the fuel system to lose its prime

• Kinked or blocked fuel supply lines

• Fuel leaks contribute to no start conditions

• Coolant leaks indicate engine problems

• Electronic connectors may be damaged or not correctly installed causing a no start condition

• Leak around MAP sensor

• Leak around IAT2 sensor

• Restricted or open CAC hose

Tools Required:Inspection light

2. Check Engine Oil Level

WARNING:Smoking or open flame of any type must not be present when working near fuel or fuel vapor. Failure to follow these instructionsmay result in personal injury.

NOTICE:Only use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel that is 5% or less biodiesel with this vehicle. Use of any other fuel type may damage the vehicleor cause an emission concern. Refer to the Owner's Literature for more information.

NOTE:If directed here from a pinpoint test, return to the pinpoint test after carrying out this procedure.

NOTE:If the engine oil has diesel fuel contamination, the engine oil appears thin and watery, and has a diesel fuel odor. If the engine oil has coolantcontamination, the engine oil appears milky white and has an ethylene glycol odor.

Purpose:The purpose of this test is to verify the correct engine oil quality and level.

Check Engine Oil Level

• Check for aftermarket performance products.

• Check for contaminants (fuel, coolant).

• Correct grade/viscosity.

• Miles/hours on engine oil, correct level.

Method Check

Visual

Recommended Procedure:Check for aftermarket performance products. If aftermarket performance products are present, return to original equipment manufacturers(OEM) components as necessary. Aftermarket performance products affect the correct operation of the regeneration process which may affectengine oil level.

Due to the size of the engine oil system, it is critical when checking the engine oil level, to make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surfaceand the engine has been turned off for at least 10 minutes to make sure that the engine oil in the upper parts of the engine has returned to theoil pan.

Check for the correct engine oil level using the oil level indicator with the vehicle on level ground.

If the engine oil level on the oil level indicator is overfull, it is possible the engine was incorrectly repaired or fuel or coolant is diluting theengine oil and filling the crankcase. Recheck the engine oil level. Remove and clean the oil level indicator. Reinsert the oil level indicator intothe oil level indicator tube until only the oil level indicator handle touches the top of the oil level indicator tube.

Oil Level Indicator Offset

If directed to this test from a pinpoint test and the engine oil level is correct, return to the pinpoint test.

If not directed to this test from a pinpoint test and the engine oil level is correct, continue to Step 3 Glow Plug System Operation, in this sectionto continue diagnosis.

If the engine oil level is overfull, check the CAC for contamination. If the CAC has engine oil, coolant, fuel or metal contamination, a thoroughcleaning of the CAC system is necessary. Refer to the Workshop Manual section 303-12 for correct cleaning procedures. Clean and mark theoil level indicator.

Page 7: Table of Contents - JustAnswer€¦ · Hard Start/No Start Diagnostic Procedures F-Super Duty 4-2 Diagnostic Subroutines Hard Start/No Start Diagnostic Procedures 2008 Powertrain

Engine Oil Level Indication

Check for recent fuel system repairs which may have caused fuel leaks into the engine crankcase. If a fuel system repair was made and theengine oil was not changed, change the engine oil, mark the oil level indicator and carry out the Fuel System Leak Test in this section tocontinue diagnosis.

Check the maintenance records for engine idle time, mileage and vehicle usage since the last engine oil change. Oil that has had extendeddrain intervals has increased viscosity (becomes thicker) and makes engine cranking more difficult and starting less reliable at temperaturesbelow freezing. Refer to the lube oil chart in the Workshop Manual or Owner's Literature for the correct engine oil selection for temperatureconditions. If records indicate insufficient engine oil changes, change the engine oil, mark the oil level indicator and carry out the Fuel SystemLeak Test in this section to continue diagnosis.

Check for biodiesel fuel of greater than 5% or high sulphur diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel concentration of greater than 5% or use of high sulphurcontent fuel can cause increased fuel dilution.

If the engine oil level is overfull, GO to Pinpoint Test AB to continue diagnosis.

Possible Causes:

• Engine oil level low — engine oil leak, engine oil consumption, incorrect repair

• Engine oil level high — incorrect repair, fuel dilution

• Engine oil contamination with coolant — engine oil cooler, front cover porosity, head gasket, porosity

• Engine oil contamination with diesel fuel — fuel injector leak, high pressure fuel injection pump leak

Tools Required:None

3. Glow Plug System Operation

NOTE:The wait to start indicator on time (1-10 seconds) is independent from glow plug on time.

Purpose:The purpose of this test is to verify the glow plug system operation.

Glow Plug System Operation

• Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM) Operation

— Glow plug on time is dependent on engine oil temperature and altitude. The GPCM commands the glow plugs on for 1 to 120 seconds.The GPCM does not operate if the engine oil temperature is above 55°C (131°F).

— Connect the scan tool. Access and retrieve the KOEO and continuous DTCs. If GPCM DTCs are present, GO to Pinpoint Test AF.

— Verify B+ voltage is supplied to the GPCM.

— Access and monitor the GPLTM and ECT PIDS to verify sufficient glow plug ON time.

— Turn the ignition to the ON position and measure the glow plug voltage during the ON time.

Purpose:The purpose of this test is to verify the fuel quality and sufficient fuel to start the engine.

Sufficient Clean Fuel Test

• Check for illumination of the water in fuel (WIF) indicator.

• Drain a fuel sample from the fuel conditioning module.

Method Check

Visual

Recommended Procedure:Open the drain valve integrated in the fuel conditioning module and drain fuel into a clear 1 liter container. Close the drain valve. The flow outof the drain valve should be steady and should produce at least 1 liter/1 quart of fuel within 2 minutes. If the volume of the fuel collected within2 minutes is short of the required 1 liter/1 quart there may be insufficient amount of fuel in the tank and the fuel level may not be correctlyindicated on the fuel level gauge. If a fuel level indication concern is suspected, refer to the Workshop Manual Section 413-01 to continuediagnosis.

Observe the WIF indicator. If the indicator is illuminated, the fuel may be contaminated with water.

Inspect the fuel in the container. It should be clear, not cloudy. It also should be free of water and contaminants. Dyed red or blue fuelindicates off-highway fuel.

The fuel sample should not indicate evidence of waxing or gelling. Waxing or gelling in some fuels in cold weather could clog fuel filters andthe fuel pump and cause restrictions in the fuel or low fuel pressure.

Some sediment and water may be present in the fuel sample if the fuel filter has not been replaced for a prolonged period of time or if thesediment and water have not been drained recently. If that is the case, a second sample may be required to determine fuel quality.

• Check for contaminants (fuel, coolant).

• Correct grade/viscosity.

• Miles/hours on engine oil, correct level.

Method Check

Visual

Recommended Procedure:Check for aftermarket performance products. If aftermarket performance products are present, return to original equipment manufacturers(OEM) components as necessary. Aftermarket performance products affect the correct operation of the regeneration process which may affectengine oil level.

Due to the size of the engine oil system, it is critical when checking the engine oil level, to make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surfaceand the engine has been turned off for at least 10 minutes to make sure that the engine oil in the upper parts of the engine has returned to theoil pan.

Check for the correct engine oil level using the oil level indicator with the vehicle on level ground.

If the engine oil level on the oil level indicator is overfull, it is possible the engine was incorrectly repaired or fuel or coolant is diluting theengine oil and filling the crankcase. Recheck the engine oil level. Remove and clean the oil level indicator. Reinsert the oil level indicator intothe oil level indicator tube until only the oil level indicator handle touches the top of the oil level indicator tube.

Oil Level Indicator Offset

If directed to this test from a pinpoint test and the engine oil level is correct, return to the pinpoint test.

If not directed to this test from a pinpoint test and the engine oil level is correct, continue to Step 3 Sufficient Clean Fuel Test, in this section tocontinue diagnosis.

If the engine oil level is overfull, check the CAC for contamination. If the CAC has engine oil, coolant, fuel or metal contamination, a thoroughcleaning of the CAC system is necessary. Refer to the Workshop Manual section 303-12 for correct cleaning procedures. Clean and mark theoil level indicator.

Engine Oil Level Indication

Check for recent fuel system repairs which may have caused fuel leaks into the engine crankcase. If a fuel system repair was made and theengine oil was not changed, change the engine oil, mark the oil level indicator and carry out the Fuel System Leak Test in this section tocontinue diagnosis.

Check the maintenance records for engine idle time, mileage and vehicle usage since the last engine oil change. Oil that has had extendeddrain intervals has increased viscosity (becomes thicker) and makes engine cranking more difficult and starting less reliable at temperaturesbelow freezing. Refer to the lube oil chart in the Workshop Manual or Owner's Literature for the correct engine oil selection for temperatureconditions. If records indicate insufficient engine oil changes, change the engine oil, mark the oil level indicator and carry out the Fuel SystemLeak Test in this section to continue diagnosis.

Check for biodiesel fuel of greater than 5% or high sulphur diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel concentration of greater than 5% or use of high sulphurcontent fuel can cause increased fuel dilution.

If the engine oil level is overfull, GO to Pinpoint Test AB to continue diagnosis.

Possible Causes:

• Engine oil level low — engine oil leak, engine oil consumption, incorrect repair

• Engine oil level high — incorrect repair, fuel dilution

• Engine oil contamination with coolant — engine oil cooler, front cover porosity, head gasket, porosity

• Engine oil contamination with diesel fuel — fuel injector leak, high pressure fuel injection pump leak

Tools Required:None

3. Sufficient Clean Fuel Test

NOTICE:Only use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel that is 5% or less biodiesel with this vehicle. Use of any other fuel type may damage the vehicleor cause an emission concern. Refer to the Owner's Literature for more information.

Recommended Procedure:Open the drain valve integrated in the fuel conditioning module and drain fuel into a clear 1 liter container. Close the drain valve. The flow outof the drain valve should be steady and should produce at least 1 liter/1 quart of fuel within 2 minutes. If the volume of the fuel collected within2 minutes is short of the required 1 liter/1 quart there may be insufficient amount of fuel in the tank and the fuel level may not be correctlyindicated on the fuel level gauge. If a fuel level indication concern is suspected, refer to the Workshop Manual Section 413-01 to continuediagnosis.

Observe the WIF indicator. If the indicator is illuminated, the fuel may be contaminated with water.

Inspect the fuel in the container. It should be clear, not cloudy. It also should be free of water and contaminants. Dyed red or blue fuelindicates off-highway fuel.

The fuel sample should not indicate evidence of waxing or gelling. Waxing or gelling in some fuels in cold weather could clog fuel filters andthe fuel pump and cause restrictions in the fuel or low fuel pressure.

Some sediment and water may be present in the fuel sample if the fuel filter has not been replaced for a prolonged period of time and/or if thesediment and water have not been drained recently. If that is the case, a second sample may be required to determine fuel quality.

Fuel Conditioning Module Drain Valve

Possible Causes:

• Biodiesel-water separation, seal degradation, corrosion

• Corrosion to fuel system components

• No fuel in the tank

• Fuel supply line broken or crimped

• Fuel jelled

• Fuel quality

• Pickup tube screen in tank restricted

• Restricted fuel filters

Cloudy fuel indicates that the fuel may not be a suitable grade for cold temperatures.

Excessive water or contaminants may indicate that the tank and fuel system may need to be flushed and cleaned.

The testfails during normal vehicle operation when the diesel particulate filter pressure is greater than a maximumamount. The PCM immediately illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), limits engine performance, andsets the DTC. This DTC may inhibit the diesel particulate filter regeneration.

Possible Causes: • Excessive amount of soot or ash in the diesel particulate filter

Diagnostic Aids: Excessive amount of soot or ash in the diesel particulate filter may be caused by extended engine idle operationafter the DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST message is displayed on the instrument cluster. Refer to the Owner'sLiterature for additional information on the instrument cluster DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST message.Check for other DTCs.

P252F - Engine Oil Level Too High

Description: Indicates the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an engine oil level overfull condition. The PCMmonitors for cylinder imbalance as an indicator that ingestion of unmetered fluid may be occurring due to anoverfilled crankcase. The cylinder imbalance must exceed a threshold for a time period that is greater than acalibrated limit. Unexpected temperature rise across the oxidation catalytic converter (OC) is also used toinfluence the time period to set this DTC.

Possible Causes: • Engine oil level overfull condition• Incorrect RPM signal• Coolant in crankcase• Fuel in crankcase• Aftermarket performance products• Oil contaminated charge air cooler (CAC)• Over contributing fuel injector• Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor interference• Camshaft position (CMP) sensor interference• Base engine concerns• Valvetrain assembly

Diagnostic Aids: Access the freeze frame data (if available) and record the DTC conditions. The freeze frame data may be usedto determine the operating condition when the DTC was set.
