  4. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL LEAK TEST)

    Tech Tips

    By performing this Active Test, the engine speed is maintained at 2000 rpm and the common rail internal fuel pressure is raised to the maximum operating pressure. As a result, a fuel leak check can be conducted while retaining the high common rail pressure.


    1. Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.

      Note

      Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Turn the tester on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak.

    6. Visually check the injection or supply pump assembly, injector assembly, and fuel line located between the injection or supply pump assembly and common rail assembly for fuel leaks and fuel pressure leaks. Also, perform the same check on the fuel line between the common rail assembly and the injector assembly.

      Inspect and repair cylinder injector assembly with revised injection volume of less than -7.0 mm3/st:


      • Perform power balance inspection and identify malfunctioning cylinder

      • Replace malfunctioning cylinder injector assembly

      		 Abnormal cylinder injector assembly injects excessively large quantity of fuel
      B

      Identify malfunctioning cylinders by conducting power balance inspection:


      • Perform power balance inspection to identify malfunctioning cylinders

      • Clean malfunctioning cylinder injector assembly, then check and repair it

      • Fuel injection volume too low due to injector assembly nozzle being blocked by deposits

      • Abnormal cylinder injector assemblies compression decreases

      • Abnormal cylinder injector assembly injects excessively large quantity of fuel
      C

      Inspect and repair all cylinder injector assemblies:

      Clean all cylinder injector assemblies, inspect, and repair them

      All cylinder injector assemblies inject excessively small quantity of fuel:

      Fuel injection volume too low due to all cylinder injector assembly nozzles being blocked by deposits

      Tech Tips

      *: When the Injection Volume displayed on the intelligent tester is large despite the Fuel Press and Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 in the Data List being normal, the injector assembly may be clogged. In this case, there may be deposits inside or outside the tip of the injector assembly.


      • Despite the injector assembly functioning normally, the indicated Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 value may be outside the normal operating range due to compensation for other problems (such as low compression).

      • Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 is the value used to correct the fuel injection volumes of each cylinder, in order to optimize (compensate for the unevenness between) all the cylinder combustion conditions. If any of the cylinders malfunction, the fuel injection volumes for the normal cylinders are corrected simultaneously. As a result, the Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 may deviate from the standard range.
