EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

Tech Tips

In a malfunction where the EGR system is always on, black or white smoke may emit from the exhaust pipe.


  1. CHECK SEATING OF EGR VALVE


    1. Start the engine. Check that the engine starts and then idles.

  2. INSPECT FOR ENGINE CONDITION


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine, then run it at idle.

    3. Warm up the engine.

      The coolant temperature should be between 75°C (167°F) and 90°C (194°F).

    4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

    5. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / EGR Position.

    6. Check that the value of EGR position is within the specification.

      Standard
      Engine condition EGR valve opening position expressed as percentage
      During idling 40 to 60%

      If the result is not as specified, refer to the INSPECTION section Click here.

  3. VISUALLY CHECK HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS


    1. A01CJ72

      Check the appearance.


      1. Check if there are any cracks, damage, or leaks on the indicted portions of the engine assembly.

        Note


        • Detachment or other problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may cause the engine to run improperly.

        • Air suction caused by disconnections, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will cause engine failure or engine malfunction.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the parts as necessary.

  4. AIR BLOW OPERATION

    Tech Tips

    Clean the filter with compressed air if the DPF differential pressure is higher than the standard value. It is probable that excessive particulate matter has accumulated in the DPF.


    1. A01CJ3NE01

      Remove the center pipe plug shown in the illustration.

      Note

      The center pipe may be hot. Make sure that the pipe is not hot before removing the plug.

      Tech Tips

      Do not remove the center pipe.

    2. Remove the exhaust gas temperature sensor shown in the illustration Click here.

      Tech Tips

      Temporarily cover the hole with tape after removing the exhaust gas temperature sensor.

    3. Apply compressed air.


      1. A01CHB3E01

        Close the air valve as illustrated and connect an air hose to SST securely.

        SST
        09950-E9010
      2. A01CJFKE01

        Face the SST air holes towards the front of the vehicle and fully insert SST through the plughole until it contacts the inner wall of the center pipe.

        09950-E9010

        Tech Tips

        The tab on the disc of SST is provided to allow the operator to determine the direction of the air holes when SST is inside the plughole.

      3. A01CGOBE01

        Open the air valve and move SST within the range as shown in the illustration for 5 minutes while lightly pushing on the inner wall of the center pipe with SST.

        09950-E9010

        Note


        • Be careful not to hit the catalytic converters with SST.

        • Do not apply compressed air to the rear catalytic converter.

    4. Close the air valve and remove SST.

    5. Remove the air hose from SST.

    6. Install the exhaust gas temperature sensor Click here.

      Tech Tips

      Remove the tape and any particulate matter on or around the exhaust gas temperature sensor installation hole.

    7. Install the plug.
