      Data List MAF

      Tech Tips

      The maximum fuel injection volume is controlled according to the output from the mass air flow meter.

      Intake System
      Symptom and Corresponding Main Fault
      • Lack of power (no black smoke) due to air filter blockage or crushed or leaking air duct

      • Black smoke (no lack of power) due to leakage between the turbo and intake manifold

      Data List

      MAP


      • With the ignition switch ON or during idling, MAP = atmospheric pressure (standard atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa [758 mmHg, 29.8 in.Hg]). When the engine speed is about 1500 rpm or more, the turbocharger starts to take effect and MAP becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.

      • Atmospheric pressure decreases by 1 kPa (7.5 mmHg, 0.29 in.Hg) each time elevation increases by 100 m (328 ft.), and is also affected by the current weather conditions.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE


  1. Explanation of Symptom

    Starting Trouble

    For good starting it is essential to have:


    • Sufficient cranking speed.

    • Properly operating engine preheating system.

    • Good quality fuel.

    The fuel is ignited by the heat which is generated by compression pressure.

    With problems such as a depleted battery, the crankshaft speed can become low, or if the engine compression is poor due to leakage, the compression pressure will not rise and there will be difficulty starting.

    When the engine is cold, even if there is compression heat, it will escape from the combustion chamber. For this reason, when the engine is started when it is cold, the glow plugs heat the compressed air.

    Also, after starting the engine, by charging the glow plugs for a fixed time set according to the engine coolant temperature, diesel knocking and white smoke are prevented. The quantity of fuel injected is determined by the fuel pressure and also the amount of time the injector assembly is open.

      *1 Snapshot Button
      *a Reference

      Take a snapshot when idling with no load after the engine is warmed up and when starting trouble is occurring.

      Tech Tips


      • A snapshot can be used to compare vehicle data from the time of the malfunction to normal data and is very useful for troubleshooting. The data in the illustration below is that of a normal vehicle, but as the data varies between individual vehicles, this data should only be used for reference.

      • When there is trouble starting with a cold engine, take the snapshot when the engine is cold. Then warm up the engine (engine coolant temperature is 70°C (158°F) or higher) and after idling the vehicle for 1 minute (A/C off, electrical load off), take a snapshot of the data for 15 seconds while idling.

      • Graphs like the ones shown below can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot from the tester to a PC. Intelligent Viewer must be installed on the PC.

      • Take a snapshot when the problem is occurring, such as when the engine is cold. However, if the problem does not reoccur, it is acceptable to only take a snapshot after the engine is warmed up and when the engine is started.

    1. Remove the glow plug for all the cylinders Click here.

    2. Visually check if there is fuel on the glow plugs.

      Tech Tips


      • If there is fuel on a glow plug, fuel may be leaking from an injector assembly.

      • After replacing an injector assembly, make sure that the common rail pressure (fuel pressure) is within 5000 kPa (50.9 kgf/cm2, 725 psi) of the target fuel pressure while cranking the engine.

      • If there is fuel on a glow plug, fuel may have mixed with the engine oil. Check the engine oil amount and whether the engine oil smells of diesel fuel. If the oil level is above the full line or the engine oil smells of diesel fuel, replace the engine oil.

  28. INSPECT INJECTOR DRIVER (EDU)


    1. Even in cases where DTC P062D is not stored even though the engine cannot be started, perform the DTC P062D (No. 1 Fuel Injector Driver Circuit Performance) troubleshooting procedure Click here.

      When troubleshooting the injector driver (EDU) circuit, the source of the malfunction is likely to be in one of the following areas, so be sure to inspect these areas carefully.


      • Injector driver (EDU) system power source circuit

      • Injector assembly circuit

      • Injector driver (EDU)

      • ECM

      Tech Tips


      • When the engine cannot be started due to a malfunction in the injector driver (EDU) circuit, once the DTCs are cleared, the system cannot store DTC P062D even if it is confirmed that the engine cannot be started when trying to reproduce the problem symptoms.

        As DTC P062D cannot be stored when starting the engine, fuel injection signals are output by the ECM, but fuel is not actually injected. Therefore, an excessive amount of fuel is supplied to the common rail by the fuel supply pump assembly, and as a result, the fuel pressure is higher than the target common rail pressure in the data recorded at the time the engine was having trouble starting.

      • If the problem cannot be determined even after performing the DTC P062D (No. 1 Fuel Injector Driver Circuit Performance) troubleshooting procedure and the fuel pressure is higher than the target common rail pressure when attempting to start the engine, proceed to the next step.

      • Perform the troubleshooting procedure for DTC P062D and proceed to the diagnostic flow situations where the engine does not start.
