Fuel Injection Volume Control
Fuel injection volume has two values, "Final Injection Volume", "Starting Injection Volume".
| Final injection volume | The ECM compares the basic and maximum injection volumes, and determines the smaller calculated value to be the final injection volume. The ECM changes injection volume to ensure drivability when the clutch switch is ON (the clutch pedal is not depressed). |
| Starting injection volume | The starting injection volume is determined in accordance with the crankshaft position sensor signal (cranking time) and engine coolant temperature sensor signal. When the engine is cold, the engine coolant temperature will be lower and the injection volume will be greater. |

Fuel Pressure Control
The ECM calculates the target injection pressure (30000 to 180000 kPa) based on the final injection volume and signals from the crankshaft position sensor.
To control fuel pressure, signals sent to suction control valve of the supply pump assembly regulate the pumping volume and signals sent to pressure control valve of the common-rail regulate the discharge volume, so that the pressure detected by the fuel pressure sensor matches the target injection pressure.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
System Control Table
The emission control system of the 1ND-TV engine has the following systems.
| System | Description |
|---|---|
| EGR Control | Based on the signals received from the sensors, the ECM determines the EGR volume via EGR valve and throttle valve in accordance with the engine condition. |

| Air fuel Ratio Sensor Heater Control | Maintains the temperature of the air fuel ratio sensors at an appropriate level to increase accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. |
EGR Control
This system is designed to reduce and control NOx formation by means of a reduction of peak temperature in the engine combustion chamber, which is accomplished by introducing exhaust gas into the intake manifold.
By sensing the engine driving conditions and actual amount of the EGR valve opening, the ECM operates the EGR valve and diesel throttle control motor, and regulates the amount of exhaust gas.

Catalyst Support Control
For effective functioning of the NOx-purifying NSR (NOx Storage Reduction) catalyst and PM-removing DPF, intake air volume and fuel injection pattern are controlled according to information from 2 exhaust temperature sensors, 2 air fuel ratio sensors and a differential pressure sensor.
| *1 | ECM | *2 | Injector Assembly |

| *9 | Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor B1S1 | *10 | Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor B1S2 |
| *11 | Differential Pressure Sensor | *12 | Air Fuel Ratio Sensor (Bank 1 Sensor 2) |
DPF Control
If the DPF catalyst temperature becomes low, catalyst performance decreases, resulting in an increase of the amount of PM stuck in the filter substrate. When the ECM detects clogs in the filter substrate by calculating the accumulated volume of PM discharged by the engine, after injection and idle-up control are performed to reduce PM. At the same time, filter substrate temperature becomes high and PM reacts with active oxygen and changes into CO2 for purification. Fuel efficiency drops during this control.
Tech Tips
In the after injection, fuel is injected into the cylinder at a timing at which the fuel is not combusted, sending the fuel into the DPF and increasing the exhaust gas temperature by catalytic oxidation reaction, resulting in increasing the catalyst temperature.
A small portion of the fuel injected by the after injection enters the crankcase via the cylinder walls, causing dilution of the engine oil. The oil level is less likely to increase during normal use, as the fuel in the oil evaporates with the increase in the engine oil temperature.
However, the engine oil is gradually diluted after consecutive driving of which the running distance per single trip is short, which results in reducing the lubricating performance. In an attempt to prevent this, the oil level sensor detects the engine oil level and turns on/blinks the oil maintenance indicator to urge the driver to change the engine oil.
NSR Control
The NSR catalyst adsorbs NOx, reducing the amount in the exhaust gas, but the amount that can be adsorbed is limited, so the NOx stored in the catalyst is periodically reduced. To reduce the NOx, the A/F of the exhaust gas passing through the catalyst must be controlled to a specified value to supply CO. For this reason, based on the information from the air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 1), intake air volume and after injection are controlled to create a reducing atmosphere. Also, judgment of whether reduction has completed is made based on information from the air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 2).
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel System Description
A common-rail system manufactured by BOSCH is used in the fuel injection system. In this system, the highly pressurized fuel that is supplied by the supply pump is stored in the common rail, and ECM sends signals to the injector assemblies in order to control the injection timing and injection volume.
The quick connectors are used to connect the fuel pipe with the fuel hose for excellent serviceability.
A fuel filter with a fuel heater is used.
