 AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Intake Side
Air is drawn through the air filter then past the Mass Air Flow (MAF) and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors. The
MAF sensor measures the mass of the air entering the engine and IAT obtains the temperature. Next, the air enters
the compressor side of the turbocharger through the lower intake manifold. The air is compressed above atmospheric
pressure. The compressing process causes the air to heat up. Directing the air to an air to coolant Charge Air Cooler
(CAC). From the CAC the air passes the CAC temperature sensor and through the intake throttle body and into the other
side of the lower intake manifold. Inside the lower intake manifold the air mixes with EGR gases (if EGR valve is open),
travels to the upper intake manifold, and through the right and left side rocker covers to the intake ports of the cylinder
heads.
Exhaust Side
Exhaust gases exit the exhaust ports into the inboard exhaust manifolds. Exhaust gases are directed to the dual inlet
of the turbo via the right and left side up-pipe. The exhaust spins the turbine wheel inside the turbocharger. The turbine
wheel spins the compressor wheel(s) via their common shaft. Some of the exhaust from the passenger side manifold is
directed to the EGR valve through the EGR inlet pipe. When the EGR valve is being operated, exhaust flow goes through
the valve then either through the EGR cooler or bypassing the cooler. This is done by the EGR cooler bypass valve. The
exhaust gas enters the lower intake manifold and combines with the fresh air.

 AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
DualBoost Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT)
Turbocharger control is based off an air system model that produces a desired intake pressure to meet the power
requirements requested by the operator.. The PCM commands the VGT control valve by a feedback loop on the intake
pressure to achieve the desired intake pressure to meet the driver’s needs (pedal position, engine load). The air system
model considers engine temperature, air temperature, EGR operation, RPM, and engine load.
The turbocharger on pickup box models have a wastegate. The PCM controls the wastegate solenoid to supply vacuum
to the actuator. When intake pressure is greater than desired and the VGT has commanded the vanes to the full open
position the wastegate opens allowing exhaust gases to bypass the turbine fins, reducing exhaust pressure thus reducing
intake pressure.

 AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
VGT Closed
When the VGT is closed it maximizes
the use of the energy that is available
at low speeds. Closing the VGT
accelerates exhaust gas flow across
the vanes of the turbine wheel. This
allows the turbocharger to behave
as a smaller turbocharger. Closing
the vanes also increases the exhaust
pressure in the exhaust manifold,
which aids in pushing exhaust gas into
the intake. This is also the position for
cold ambient warm-up.

VGT Partially Open

During engine operation at moderate
engine speeds and load, the vanes
are commanded partially open. The
vanes are set to this intermediate
position to supply the correct amount
of boost to the engine for optimal
combustion, as well as providing the
necessary exhaust pressure to drive
exhaust gas.

VGT Open
During engine operation at high
engine speeds and load, there is
a great deal of energy available in
the exhaust. Excessive boost under
high speed, high load conditions can
negatively affect component durability.
Therefore, the vanes are commanded
open preventing turbocharger
overspeed. Essentially, this allows
the turbocharger to act as a large
turbocharger.

44
 AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
VGT Actuator
The 6.7L VGT actuator uses engine
oil pressure on a piston to move
the vanes on the exhaust turbine.
The VGT actuator is commanded
by the PCM, based on a desired
MAP pressure. This actuator meters
engine oil to either side of the piston.
This design feature reacts quickly to
changes in demand based on driving
conditions. When one side of the
piston is pressurized, the opposite
side is vented.

Wastegate Solenoid and Actuator

The wastegate on the DualBoost
VGT is vacuum controlled through a
solenoid that is controlled by the PCM.
The wastegate is only used on the
DualBoost turbocharger.
The wastegate opens to relieve
excessive exhaust pressure at higher
RPMs.
When the VGT cannot react quickly
enough to reduce MAP pressure, the
wastegate will open to reduce EP to
slow down the turbo.

Coolant Passages
The turbocharger is cooled using
coolant from the primary cooling
system. Coolant enters the

 AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
The EGR system allows cooled (inert) exhaust gases to re-enter the combustion chamber, which lowers combustion
temperatures and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions.
EGR system control is based off an air system model to estimate the percentage of exhaust gas in the cylinder. The
PCM looks at engine temperature, intake pressure, exhaust pressure (EP), RPM, and engine load to determine the EGR
flow rate. The ratio of MAP and EP is used by the PCM to estimate a desired EGR valve position. The desired position is
compared to the actual and the duty cycle is adjusted to meet that desired position for the required EGR flow rate. If the
rate is not achieved with EGR valve position, the intake throttle body closes to a desired position, reducing intake manifold
pressure. Reducing the intake manifold pressure increases the pressure ratio allowing more exhaust to fill the intake
manifold at a given EGR valve position. As more exhaust gas is introduced into the intake manifold the amount of air
measured by the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is decreased.
The 6.7L has a hot side EGR valve due to it being before the EGR cooler. Once past the EGR valve, the exhaust gas is
either directed through the EGR cooler or bypasses the EGR cooler. This is done by the PCM controlling the EGR cooler
bypass solenoid which turns vacuum on or off to the actuator on the bypass door. The EGR outlet temperature (EGRT)
sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust gas leaving the system for cooler effectiveness and bypass control.

Internally, it has two valves connected
by a common shaft. Exhaust gases
are routed from the right exhaust
manifold to the center of the valve.
When the valve is opened, exhaust
gases flow out the top and bottom
poppet valves either through the EGR
Cooler and to the intake manifold or
directly to the intake manifold if the
EGR cooler bypass valve is in bypass
position.

 FUEL SYSTEM
At key on, the fuel pump within the Diesel Fuel Conditioning Module (DFCM) is turned on and the low pressure fuel
system is pressurized. If the engine is not started, the pump runs for up to 30 seconds. The PCM obtains information from
the Ambient Air Temperature (AAT), Engine Coolant Temperature (ETC) , Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) , and Fuel Rail
Temperature (FRT) sensors for fuel delivery calculations. The Volume Control Valve (VCV) and Pressure Control Valve
(PCV) are open.
During engine cranking the PCM identifies Top Dead Center (TDC) within approximately 120 degrees of crankshaft
rotation and PCV is closing, allowing fuel pressure in the rail to achieve the calibrated value. This allows the engine to
start very quickly.
Once the Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor detects the required fuel pressure, the PCM begins fuel injection operation to
meet the desired idle RPM based upon the temperature sensors and engine load. During this initial start up mode, the
high pressure fuel system is run in PCV mode for a calibrated amount of time. The VCV is set to a specified point while
PCV is duty cycled to meet the desired fuel rail pressure.
The high pressure fuel system operates in PCV mode until a calibrated fuel temperature and time is achieved.
In VCV mode the fuel volume entering the high pressure fuel pump is adjusted by the VCV to meet the required fuel rail
pressure while still being trimmed by the PCV. VCV mode is a more efficient operating mode because only the amount of
fuel required for combustion is being compressed by the pump and sent to the fuel rails.
During acceleration, the VCV and PCV are commanded to meet the driver’s demand (accelerator pedal input/engine
load). The PCM’s commands to the VCV and PCV are based upon: FRT, ECT, EOT, ATT, engine load, and regeneration
state.
On deceleration, the VCV is closed and the PCV is opening to max position to reduce fuel pressure. When RPM is
approaching the desired idle speed, the VCV begins to open to prepare for injector usage.
During regeneration, the left side injectors perform post injection. The right side injectors do not provide fuel for
regeneration because right side cylinders supply exhaust gas to the EGR valve and EGR cooler.
Under certain conditions, like battery disconnect and fuel system reset, the fuel system operates in Adaptive PCV (APCV)
mode on the first start. In the APVC mode, the PCM is learning the duty cycle needed for the PCV to achieve the desired
fuel pressure.
High pressure fuel system operating mode:
• High pressure fuel system runs in PCV mode at
start up until a calibrated time and temperature
have been met.
• Thermal recirculation valve is fully open up to
between 24-27°C (75 - 80°F) and fully closed at
38°C (100°F) (all fuel goes back to tank)

• After the fuel is conditioned by the DFCM, the clean pressurized fuel is sent to the engine mounted fuel filter assembly
where particles larger than 4 micron are filtered out of the fuel. After the fuel is filtered, it is routed to the high pressure
fuel pump.

Low Pressure Fuel Pump

The low pressure fuel pump is located Low Pressure
inside the DFCM assembly. Fuel Pump
The low pressure fuel pump draws
fuel from the fuel tank through the 10
micron primary fuel filter and pushes
it to the engine mounted fuel filter.
The fuel pump pressure relief valve
is integral to the fuel pump and is not
serviceable separately. The fuel pump
pressure regulator limits fuel pressure
to 827 kPa (120 psi).
The low pressure fuel pump
supplies approximately 3 times the
maximum amount of fuel required for

Fuel Cooler
A fuel cooler is located on the left
frame rail forward of the DFCM. The
black fuel line is used for fuel return
from the engine to the cooler. The
gray fuel line returns fuel from the
cooler to the DFCM. Depending on
the temperature of the fuel from the
injectors, the fuel cooler can be used
to cool or heat the fuel going back to
the DFCM. The powertrain secondary
cooling system provides the coolant
for the fuel cooler.

Injector Low Pressure Connectors

The injector low pressure connectors
have a dual purpose. First, it is not
really a return but a low pressure
feed to keep fuel pressure inside
the hydraulic coupler. Without fuel
pressure in the hydraulic coupler, the
injector will not deliver fuel. Second,
the fuel that passes through the
injector during the injection process
exits the injector through the low
pressure connectors.

Fuel Management System

The Volume Control Valve (VCV) controls how much fuel enters the two high pressure pump pistons. The high pressure
fuel pump is restricted as required by the PCM. Under varying conditions the fuel system is in PCV or VCV mode.
Two high pressure fuel lines from the high pressure fuel pump transport the fuel to the diverter volume area of the left
(driver’s side) fuel rail. From the diverter volume area, fuel goes through an orifice to supply the left fuel rail and through a
high pressure fuel line over to the right fuel rail.
Excess fuel from the high pressure fuel pump is routed back to the DFCM/fuel tank. The left fuel rail supplies fuel to the 4
injectors in the left cylinder head via high pressure fuel lines and it supplies fuel to the right side fuel rail via another high
pressure fuel line.
The left side fuel rail contains the Pressure Control Valve (PCV) mounted in the rear of the fuel rail and the Fuel Rail
Pressure (FRP) sensor in the front of the fuel rail The PCV regulates the pressure in the fuel rails under specific operating
conditions. When operating in PCV mode, fuel released by the PCV is returned to the DFCM/fuel tank.
The high pressure fuel pump is capable of producing up to 199,948 kPa (29,000 psi) to the fuel injectors.
Each fuel rail has 4 individual high pressure fuel lines to supply fuel to the injectors. Injector return fuel is directed back to
the low pressure line supplying the secondary fuel filter. The injector return line assembly contains a single throttle (orifice)
to generate back flow for proper injector operation. Fuel being directed back to the DFCM/fuel tank goes through the fuel
cooler first then to the DFCM.

High Pressure Fuel Pump Operation

The high pressure fuel pump is a
2-cylinder design. The main shaft has
two actuating lobes. The actuating
lobes are offset 180 degrees from
each other. Each pump piston
is actuated twice per crankshaft
revolution.

Piston Assemblies
The pistons are actuated via the
actuating lobes and are returned to
rest via spring pressure. The pistons
receive fuel from the through a one-
way check valve. Fuel is drawn
into the cylinder while the piston is
returning to rest. The fuel flow to the
cylinders of the pump are metered by
the Volume Control Valve (VCV).

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Pressure Control Valve (PCV)
The PCV is threaded into the rear of
the left fuel rail. The PCM controls
the fuel rail pressure by modulating
the PCV which regulates the fuel rail
pressure.
The PCM regulates fuel rail pressure
by controlling the on/off time of the
PCV solenoid. A high duty cycle
indicates a high fuel rail pressure is
being commanded. A low duty cycle
indicates a low fuel rail pressure is
being commanded.

Volume Control Valve (VCV)

VCV
The fuel VCV is mounted on the high
pressure fuel pump. The PCM controls
the volume of low pressure fuel
that enters the inlet one-way check
valve and two main pump pistons by
activating the fuel VCV.
The PCM regulates fuel volume
by controlling the on/off time of
the fuel VCV solenoid. A high duty
cycle indicates less volume is being
commanded. A low duty cycle
indicates a high fuel volume is being
commanded.

Fuel Injectors
The fuel injectors are connected to
the high pressure fuel rail and deliver
a calibrated amount of fuel directly
into the combustion chamber. The
on and off time of the fuel injectors
are controlled by the piezo actuator
device, which allows extreme
precision during the injection cycle.

 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Wastegate Control Solenoid
The PCM provides a duty cycle to the
solenoid which changes the vacuum
flow to the actuator causing the
wastegate to open and allow exhaust
gases to bypass the turbine.
The wastegate helps maintain the
required intake manifold pressure.
It is used when mostly when
intake manifold pressure needs to
be decreased quickly. When the
wastegate is opened, exhaust back
pressure is decreased, reducing the
turbocharger turbine speed.

 EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust gases exit the exhaust ports into the inboard exhaust manifolds and are directed to the dual turbine inlet of the
turbo through the right and left side up-pipes. The exhaust gas and heat spins the turbine wheel inside the turbocharger.
The turbine wheel spins the compressor wheel(s) via their common shaft. Some of the exhaust from the passenger side
manifold is directed to the EGR valve through the EGR inlet pipe. When the EGR valve is being operated, exhaust flow
goes through the valve and is routed through either the EGR cooler or bypasses the cooler. This is done by the EGR
cooler bypass valve. The exhaust gas enters the lower intake manifold and combines with the fresh air.

The DOC is a ceramic catalytic
converter which oxidizes hydrocarbons
in the exhaust and generates heat for
the SCR and DPF to function properly.

are active, passive and manual.

DPF Pressure Sensor

The DPF pressure sensor is an
input to the PCM and measures the
pressure before the DPF. The sensor
is a differential-type sensor that is
referenced to atmospheric pressure.
The DPF pressure sensor is used
by the PCM to monitor the amount
of exhaust pressure produced by
the DPF. An active regeneration is
performed when the reading reaches a
specified point.

The following can be negatively
affected by not using the
recommended API rated engine oil
are:
• increased Particulate Matter (PM)
in the aftertreatment system may
cause more ash build up in the DPF
• more frequent DPF regenerations
• reduction of DPF service life.
• engine oil system

Regeneration Process
As soot gathers in the aftertreatment system, the exhaust begins to become restricted. Regeneration is the process in
which soot is burned off from the inside of the DPF. Regeneration is commanded by the PCM.
The PCM starts regeneration of the DPF if the soot load exceeds a calibrated value. The PCM determines the load
condition of the DPF, based on the exhaust gas pressure upstream of the DPF. The DPF pressure sensor provides the
pressure input to the PCM.
This soot can be cleaned by passive, active, or manual regeneration. Manual regeneration is performed by using the IDS.
Passive Regeneration
Passive regeneration takes place when exhaust temperatures exceed 300°C (572°F). This process does not affect engine
performance and is transparent to the driver.
Active Regeneration
Active regeneration occurs when exhaust temperatures are insufficient to achieve passive regeneration and the DPF
pressure sensor is indicating the need for regeneration.
The PCM automatically activates the left bank fuel injectors only during the exhaust stroke to raise exhaust temperature to
begin regeneration while the vehicle is in motion.
Engine performance is not affected by active regeneration, however the engine or exhaust tone may change.
Manual Regeneration
The IDS can be used to perform a manual regeneration of the DPF in the shop and set the ash value under stationary
conditions to clean and calibrate the system. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate when service or
maintenance of the DPF is necessary.
CAUTION: The manual regeneration of the DPF produces high temperatures in the exhaust system. Due to high exhaust
gas temperatures, always follow the Workshop Manual Cautions, Warnings, and procedures when performing a manual
DPF regeneration.
Frequency of Regeneration
The mileage between regenerations varies significantly, depending on vehicle usage.
Post Regeneration
After regeneration, the PCM reads the pressure at the DPF pressure sensor and compares it with a calibrated value. From
this comparison, the PCM determines the ash quantity inside the DPF.
Non-Burnable Ash
Over time a slight amount of non-burnable ash builds up in the DPF which is not removed during the regeneration
process. Ash comes from the fuel, oils and other materials that remain after the DPF regeneration process. The DPF may
need to be removed for ash cleaning and replaced with a new or remanufactured part.
Handle the DPF with care. Dropping the DPF may cause internal damage.

Reductant or Diesel Exhaust Fluid

(DEF)
Reductant, also known as Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is 32.5% urea/
water solution. When injected into the
exhaust, there is a chemical reaction
that converts NOx into N2 and H2O.
The freezing point of reductant is
-11°C (12°F).
Reductant is very caustic; take care
not to spill onto connectors, wiring
harnesses or the vehicle’s paint.

Reductant Tank
The reductant tank stores the
reductant or DEF. Under normal use
it needs to be refilled at the same

Reductant Dosing Module
The reductant dosing module is
controlled by the PCM. The reductant
dosing module injects reductant
into the exhaust system to reduce
NOx coming out of the tailpipe. The
injector is made to resist the corrosive
properties of the reductant.

Reductant Pump
Reductant Pump The reductant pump supplies urea
to the dosing module. One unique
function of the pump is that when the
ignition is turned off, the pump pulls all
of the reductant out of the lines. This
prevents damage to the lines if the
reductant was to freeze.

Heated Supply Reductant Heaters

Line Below a specified temperature the
PCM commands the Glow Plug
Control Module (GPCM) to activate
the heaters in the reductant system.
The reductant system has heaters in
the tank, pump, and lines. The heaters
in the tank thaw the DEF if it is frozen
and allow it to flow to the pump without
freezing. The heaters in the pump
and lines allow the DEF to flow to the
injector without freezing.

Reductant Fluid Level Sensors
The reductant fluid level sensor
operates by using four electrodes
(one not visible in the picture) that are
mounted on the sensor at different
levels. The reductant solution closes
the electric circuit between electrodes
for each level interface. The signal is
then converted before being sent to
the PCM.

Reductant Purge Valve

The reductant purge valve is opened
by the PCM allowing the pressure to
equalize in the fluid tank.

Reductant Pressure Sensor

The PCM monitors the reductant
pressure sensor to calculate how
much reductant to be injected into
the exhaust. The reductant pressure
sensor is also be used to shut the
pump off when the lines are being
drained after the ignition is shut off.

NOx Sensor Module
The NOx sensor module is mounted
to the vehicle frame under the body.
It controls the NOx sensor mounted
in the diesel aftertreatment exhaust
system downstream of the SCR and
DPF. It communicates to the PCM
via the CAN2 to report NOx and O2
concentrations as well as sensor and
controller errors.

NOx Sensor
The NOx sensor is used primarily to
NOx sense O2 and NOx concentrations
Sensor in diesel exhaust gas. The sensor is
mounted in a vehicle’s exhaust pipe,
perpendicular to exhaust gas flow. The
sensor is mounted downstream of the
SCR and DPF. The sensor interfaces
with the NOx sensor module that
controls the sensor and heater circuits.

Reductant Exhaust Mixer

There is an exhaust mixing system
in the exhaust stream to mix the
reductant with the exhaust gas. The
Twist Mixer mixer is made up of an atomizer and
a twist mixer. The atomizer breaks up
and vaporizes the reductant droplets.
The twist mixer evenly distributes the
reductant in the exhaust gases for
maximum efficiency.

Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) System Operation
The SCR system reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) present in the exhaust stream to nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O). The SCR
contains a ceramic catalyst washcoated with copper and iron on a zeolite substrate. At the inlet of the SCR catalyst is a
port for the reductant dosing module, followed by a grate diffuser and a twist mixer. When Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is
introduced into the system, it finely atomizes in the grate diffuser and mixes evenly with exhaust gases in the twist mixer.
During this time, the heat of the exhaust gases causes the urea to split into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3). As
the ammonia and NOx pass through the ceramic SCR catalyst, a reduction reaction takes place and the ammonia and
NOx are converted to N2 and H2O.
The engine is able to run leaner and therefore more efficiently because of the efficiency of the SCR system eliminating the
high NOx levels that are produced under lean conditions.
