ECD SYSTEM (w/ EGR Cooler Bypass Valve) Engine Knocking or Rattling

DESCRIPTION

Malfunction Condition Main Trouble Area Related Trouble Area

Combustion in diesel engines takes place by means of self-ignition. If the timing of the ignition is delayed, the pressure inside the combustion chamber will increase too fast, which leads to uncontrolled combustion and can be heard as diesel knocking.

If any of the following conditions are met, engine knocking may occur due to the fact that


  • The diesel fuel self-ignition timing takes place too late

  • The engine temperature is low

  • The intake air temperature is low

  • The self-ignition temperature of the diesel fuel is high (ex., low cetane number)

  • Fuel is injected into a cold combustion chamber (compression temperature is too low)

  • Inadequate fuel vaporization (air-fuel mixture formation is unsatisfactory)

  • Pilot injection deterioration due to injector sticking or contamination


  1. Injector malfunctions


    • Injector sliding malfunction

    • Injector stuck closed

    • Injector stuck open

    • Deposits in fuel injector assembly

    • Injector circuit malfunction

  2. Abnormal common rail pressure


    • Suction control valve

    • Fuel pulsation sound

    • Air in fuel

  3. Friction between parts

  4. Compression pressure


  • Injector compensation codes

  • Fuel leak

  • Intake air system leak

  • Intake air system blockage

  • EGR system

  • Throttle valve system

  • Fuel pressure sensor

  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor

  • Atmosphere air pressure sensor (built into ECM)

  • Vehicle modifications

  • Low quality fuel

  • Lack of fuel

  • ECM

Tech Tips


  • Specified values in the following troubleshooting flowchart are for reference only. Variations in the Data List values may occur depending on the measuring conditions or the vehicle's age. Do not judge the vehicle to be normal even when the Data List values indicate a standard level. There are possibly some concealed factors of the malfunction.

  • Check that the vehicle has not been modified in any way prior to the vehicle inspection.

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

    Tech Tips

    By performing this Active Test, the engine speed is maintained at high 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. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Select the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT/ Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak / Data List / Fuel Press, Target Common Rail Pressure, and Target Pump SCV Current.

      Take a snapshot with the intelligent tester during the Active Test.

      Tech Tips

      Detailed graphs can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot from the tester to a PC (personal computer) with Intelligent Viewer installed.

    5. Measure the difference between the target fuel pressure (Target Common Rail Pressure) and the actual fuel pressure (Fuel Press) when the Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak is performed.

      Tech Tips

      To ensure accurate measurements, perform the Active Test with measurements 5 times or more.

      A01KH3ME05
      OK
      The difference between the target fuel pressure and the actual fuel pressure at 2 seconds after the Active Test starts is less than 10,000 kPa

      Tech Tips


      • The Target Common Rail Pressure means target fuel pressure controlled by the ECM.

      • The Fuel Press means actual fuel pressure.

      • If the pressure limiter mounted on the common rail assembly is malfunctioning, the actual fuel pressure will change as shown in [Pressure Limiter Malfunctioning] in the illustration.

      • If the pump is controlled using the active test [Test the Fuel Leak], when the active test is stopped, the actual fuel pressure may drop below the target common rail pressure, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

    6. Read the value of Target Pump SCV current in Data List when the Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak is performed.

      Standard
      Target Pump SCV Current is between 800 mA and 3,000 mA

      Tech Tips

      If the value of Target Pump SCV Current stored in Freeze Frame Data is higher than standard, the intermittent suction control valve is probably stuck.

      Result
      Result Proceed to

  7. CHECK INJECTOR COMPENSATION CODE

    Note

    Injector compensation codes are unique, 30-digit, and alphanumeric values printed on the head portion of each fuel injector assembly. If an incorrect injector compensation code is input into the ECM, the engine may rattle or engine idling may become rough. In addition, engine failure may occur and the life of the engine may be shortened.


    1. Check the injector compensation code.

      OK
      Compensation codes of the installed injectors are the same as the compensation codes registered in the ECM.

    NG
    OK
  8. RESET ECM


    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal or remove the EFI fuse for at least 2 minutes.

    2. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    6. Read the MAF value displayed on the tester when engine idling.

    7. Select the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate The VSV for EGR Cut.

    8. Read the MAF value when the VSV for EGR cut is turned from off to on using the Active Test function.

      Tech Tips


      • If idling continues for 15 minutes or more, the EGR valve opening angle target becomes 0% (EGR valve fully closed). As this makes diagnosis impossible, it becomes necessary to run the vehicle or to restart the engine.

      • Before performing the diagnosis, confirm that the EGR valve opening angle target value is not 0%.

      Result
      Active Test Result Proceed to

      Activate The VSV for EGR Cut.:

  10. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (EGR CLOSE LEARN VAL. AND EGR CLOSE LRN. STATUS)


    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off, and wait for 15 seconds or more.

    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    5. Select the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT/ Data List / EGR Close Learn Val. and EGR Close Lrn. Status.

    6. Read values.

      Standard
      EGR Close Lrn. Status is OK

      Tech Tips


      • When the EGR Close Lrn. Status is NG, the value of the EGR Close Learn Val. is unavailable because the EGR fully closed learn value is out of standard range.

      • When the EGR Close Lrn. Status is NG, the ECM suspends the learn value update. The value indicated on the tester is the past data when the EGR valve works properly or the initialized data remaining from when the battery cable was reconnected, i.e., the value is not current data.

      • As the EGR valve opens, the sensor output voltage decreases.

      • If the amount of EGR is insufficient, engine knocking may occur.


    NG
    OK
  11. INSPECT DIESEL THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY


    1. Inspect the diesel throttle body assembly (using intelligent tester).


      1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      2. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 5 seconds or more.

        Tech Tips

        Be sure to turn off the ignition switch before performing this inspection. The fully closed position of the diesel throttle valve is learned when the ignition switch is turned off.

      3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

      5. Select the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Actual Throttle Position.

        Accelerator pedal fully depressed

        0%

        and value changes smoothly in transition

        Tech Tips


        • Check the Throttle Motor DUTY in the Data List items at the same time. If the value in Throttle Motor DUTY is outside the range of 50 +/-40% for 30 seconds or more, the throttle valve may not be sliding properly.

        • The Actual Throttle Position in the Data List items is indicated as follows:

        Standard
        Throttle Valve Condition Actual Throttle Position
        Fully closed 100%
        Fully open 0%
      7. Select the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT/ Data List / Throttle Close Learning Val. and Diesel Throttle Learn Status.

      8. Read values when the ignition switch is ON.

        OK
        Diesel Throttle Learn Status is OK

        Note

        Extremely cold conditions might cause the throttle valve movement to be delayed.

        Tech Tips


        • When the Diesel Throttle Learn Status is NG, the value of the Throttle Close Learning Val. is unavailable because the throttle fully closed learn value is out of standard range.

        • When the Diesel Throttle Learn Status is NG, the ECM suspends the learn value update. The value indicated on the tester is the past data when the diesel throttle works properly or the initialized data remaining from when the battery cable was reconnected. i.e., the value is not current data.

        • If the diesel throttle condition is normal the fully closed position is learned when the ignition switch is turned off and 5 seconds or more elapse.

    2. Inspect the diesel throttle body assembly (does not use intelligent tester).


      1. Inspect throttle valve operation visually.

      Glow plug terminal - Body ground 20°C (68°F) Approximately 0.7 Ω

      Tech Tips

      If any of the glow plug assembly has an open circuit, the engine power will be insufficient only when the engine is cold.

      Note


      • Exercise extreme care not to damage the glow plug pipes. Damaging them could cause an open circuit or shorten the life of the glow plug assembly.

      • Keep the glow plug assembly free of oil and fuel while cleaning.

      • Wipe any oil off of the terminal and Bakelite washer with a clean, dry cloth during inspection.

      • Do not apply more than 11 V to the glow plug assembly as it may cause an open circuit.

  21. BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM


    1. A01KETN

      Using a hand pump mounted on the fuel filter cap, bleed the air from the fuel system. Continue pumping until the pump resistance increases.

      Note


      • Hand pump pumping speed: Max. 2 strokes/sec.

      • The hand pump must be pushed full stroke during pumping.

      • When the fuel pressure at the supply pump inlet port reaches a saturated pressure, the hand pump resistance increases.

      • If pumping is interrupted during the air bleeding process, fuel in the fuel line may return to the fuel tank sub-assembly. Continue pumping until the hand pump resistance increases.

      • If the hand pump resistance does not increase despite consecutively pumping 200 times or more, there may be a fuel leak between the fuel tank sub-assembly and fuel filter assembly, the hand pump may be malfunctioning, or the vehicle may have run out of fuel.

      • If a large amount of air remains inside the fuel system, the common rail pressure does not rise to the pressure range necessary for normal use, and the engine cannot be started.

    2. Start the engine.

      Note


      • If a large amount of air remains inside the fuel system, the starter may need to be cranked for 10 seconds or more to start the engine.

      • Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 20 seconds. The battery may be discharged.

      • Use a fully-charged battery.


      1. When the engine can be started, proceed to the next step.

      2. If the engine cannot be started, bleed the air again using the hand pump until the hand pump resistance increases (refer to step (a)). Then start the engine.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

    4. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    5. Measure the difference between the target fuel pressure (Target Common Rail Pressure) and the actual fuel pressure (Fuel Press) when the Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak is performed.

      Tech Tips

      To ensure accurate measurements, perform the Active Test with measurements 5 times or more.

      A01KH3ME05
      OK
      The difference between the target fuel pressure and the actual fuel pressure at 2 seconds after the Active Test starts is less than 10,000 kPa

      Tech Tips


      • The Target Common Rail Pressure means target fuel pressure controlled by the ECM.

      • The Fuel Press means actual fuel pressure.

      • If the pressure limiter mounted on the common rail assembly is malfunctioning, the actual fuel pressure will change as shown in [Pressure Limiter Malfunctioning] in the illustration.

      • Under normal conditions, the pressure limiter opens and relieves abnormal high-pressure to the return pipe when the fuel pressure inside the common rail assembly reaches to 190 MPa. If the actual fuel pressure suddenly drops to 40 to 50 MPa despite the fuel pressure inside the common rail assembly not reaching to 190 MPa, replace the common rail assembly because the pressure limiter opening pressure is probably deteriorated.

      • If the pump is controlled using the active test [Test the Fuel Leak], when the active test is stopped, the actual fuel pressure may drop below the target common rail pressure, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

      Detailed graphs can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot from the tester to a PC (personal computer) with Intelligent Viewer installed.

    5. Measure the difference between the target fuel pressure (Target Common Rail Pressure) and the actual fuel pressure (Fuel Press) when the Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak is performed.

      Tech Tips

      To ensure accurate measurements, perform the Active Test with measurements 5 times or more.

      OK
      The difference between the target fuel pressure and the actual fuel pressure at 2 seconds after the Active Test starts is less than 10,000 kPa

      Tech Tips


      • The Target Common Rail Pressure means target fuel pressure controlled by the ECM.

      • The Fuel Press means actual fuel pressure.

      • If the pressure limiter mounted on the common rail assembly is malfunctioning, the actual fuel pressure will change as shown in [Pressure Limiter Malfunctioning] in the illustration.

      • Under normal conditions, the pressure limiter opens and relieves abnormal high-pressure to the return pipe when the fuel pressure inside the common rail assembly reaches to 190 MPa. If the actual fuel pressure suddenly drops to 40 to 50 MPa despite the fuel pressure inside the common rail assembly not reaching to 190 MPa, replace the common rail assembly because the pressure limiter opening pressure is probably deteriorated.

      • If the pump is controlled using the active test [Test the Fuel Leak], when the active test is stopped, the actual fuel pressure may drop below the target common rail pressure, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

    Note

    Injector compensation codes are unique, 30-digit, and alphanumeric values printed on the head portion of each fuel injector assembly. If an incorrect injector compensation code is input into the ECM, the engine may rattle or engine idling may become rough. In addition, engine failure may occur and the life of the engine may be shortened.
