Decision

Fuel Economy > 11MPG: Every 15,000 Miles

ALL MODELS: If the dilution concern is severe (ex. Step 3 oil was drastically
overfull and extremely thin) continue to Step 9 and begin fuel system dye testing.
After repairing the leaking component and reassembling the engine please perform
Steps 6, 7, and 8 to verify the repair.

Inform the customer of the proper service
interval for their application and continue
to
Step 6
3. Current Oil life is beyond the
service limits and the customer is
not following interval requirements.
Get customer approval to change the oil
out of warranty expense. Return the truck
to the customer and monitor the oil level.
If the oil level rises in an unreasonable
amount, the truck must be diagnosed
further. Send the oil sample out for testing
and documentation.
Remember oil expands when heated, if
the oil level is checked cold, it will need to
be rechecked cold.

Step Action
Inspect AMS and Exhaust System for Leaks

Decision

See IK1201142 Leak Locater Diagnostic Procedures. Tighten all AMS
pressure clamps to 115lb-in.

Yes. Correct the leaks, use the above
listed gaskets and exhaust tape to prevent
leaks in the Service Parts Information
Section (Click Here). Step 7

Were any issues noted?

Decision
Yes. Step 8
No. Attempt procedure again. If the results
are the same, diagnose the aftertreatment
temperature sensors and remove the
aftertreatment. Bake and blow out the
DPF, clean the face of the DOC, and blow
out the DPFDP sensor tubes. Reinstall
everything and inspect for leaks. Attempt
procedure again. If the results are the
same, open a case file with Navistar's
Technical Support group with all relevant
information and recordings for further
evaluation.

Continue to Step 8
EGT1 (DOC Inlet) must reach above 950F

Were the procedures successful?

Step Action
Road test vehicle.
While hot and the engine OFF, mark the oil level on the dipstick. Road test for 30
miles (preferable highway loading). Also record a 0­60 full throttle snapshot in
ServiceMaxx. Allow the engine to cool down and recheck the oil level.

2007­2009 MaxxForce 7: Note engine performance and sound, analyze snapshot,
and verify boost is within specification (typically 20-25psi). If lower than expected,
remove and clean the IMP and EBP sensor and tubes­­reassemble and recheck
performance. EBP and MAP sensor voltage readings at KOEO should be equal and
roughly 0.76V in the continuous monitor session.

Decision
1. Oil did not rise; engine performance is
good.
Release to the customer for
monitoring. Send the oil sample out for
testing and documentation.
2. Oil did not rise; engine performance is
not good.
Diagnose low power complaint; keep in
mind truck weight, loading, and grading.
Once complete, release the unit to the
customer for monitoring. Send the oil
sample out for testing and documentation.
3. Oil level has risen, engine performance
is not good.
Diagnose and repair low power complaint;
keep in mind truck weight, loading, and
grading. Return to Step 7
4. Oil level has risen; engine performance
is good.
Step 9

Step Action

Inspect for fuel leaks.

Decision
Yes. Double check with a coworker or
manager. If the pump is still determined
leaking, replace the HPFP and harness.

1. Hook up the clean fuel source with heavily saturated and mixed dyed diesel fuel
(use Cummins' Dye). Create a test spot of fuel/dye to make sure it illuminates under
a black light. If desired add more dye.
On the failed pump, please circle the
leak location with a paint pen for

illuminates sufficiently.
Reassemble the engine; return to Step 7.
3. Remove the High Pressure Fuel Pump cover. (2010-2014 MaxxForce 7 follow
elemental SRT steps for NEW procedure. The turbochargers can remain on the

cover. Step 10
4. Reassemble the fuel lines temporarily for diagnostic purposes. The steel
HPFP supply lines are crush fit, meaning one time use only. They must be replaced
after diagnostics are complete.
5. Clean off the pump using brake cleaner to remove any remaining dye/fuel. Inspect
the pump with a black light for remaining traces of dye and remove if necessary.

6. The pump cover can be left off or rested over the pump to help contain the oil.
7. Run the Standard test in ServiceMaxx and perform a few brake stalls to raise
FRP.
8. After sufficient FRP has been built and sufficient time has gone by to cycle the
dyed fuel through the system, shut the engine down and use a black light to inspect
the pump for fuel/dye. See Figure 1 below for most likely leak locations. Use a small
mirror to inspect hard to see locations.
NOTE: Engine oil has a natural luminous glow to it under a black light. If unsure the
glow is dye, drain a small amount of fuel from the manual drain valve on the fuel
filter module and inspect with a black light. Make sure the fuel glows. A test spot of
dyed fuel on the pump can help determine if it is properly illuminating under black
light.
Were any fuel leaks found?

ATTENTION
Do NOT replace an injector unless it is confirmed to have a body leak. If a leak is found at the jumper tube, replace ONLY that tube.

Step Action
10 Inspect for fuel leaks.
With the dyed clean fuel source still connected.
1. Remove the PASSENGER side valve cover. Reassemble other components as
needed to operate the engine with the cover removed.

Decision
Yes. Repair leaks and torque everything
to specification, per the Engine Service
Manual. Rerun the dye test. If all is well,
reassemble the engine and return to Step
7.

If the FRP sensor is leaking replace it.

the FRP sensor continues to leak after
replacement.

below for most likely leak locations.
6. Inspect around the base of the injectors for any signs of fuel leaking past the orings. See Figure 4 for most likely leak locations.
NOTE: It is possible but very unlikely that the injector body o-rings will leak. These oring are under very little pressure (MAX 5 psi). The most likely leak locations are at
the high pressure fittings and connections.
