6.5 Turbo Diesel
DTC-34/P0216- Injection Timing Control Circuit
DTC-18/P0251 Injection Pump Cam System
DTC-88/P1214 - Injection Pump Timing Offset
DTC Tech & Troubleshooting
The 1994 and newer electronic 6.5L diesel PCM (Powertrain Control Module) has the ability to control fuel injection timing, depending on a variety of conditions and sensor inputs. This DTC discussion will hit the high points for DTC-34/P0216, DTC-88/P1214 and DTC-18/P0251, the titles for which are indicated above. A correct fuel injection timing is critical for performance, drive-ability and fuel economy. These codes do not necessarily mean an expensive repair, if you are equipped to resolve the problem yourself. Knowing what these codes mean and knowing how to effectively diagnose the cause of a fuel injection system generating these codes could save to a lot of time and money.
