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.

  • This troubleshooting procedure checks for the cause of an obvious lack of engine power (such as the maximum speed being extremely slow) while the vehicle is being driven.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • After replacing the supply pump, the ECM needs initialization Click here.

    OK
  2. PERFORM CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

    Tech Tips

    Drive the vehicle according to the driving pattern below to allow the ECM to set DTCs relating to malfunctions of the fuel system, EGR system and throttle valve. If DTCs are set, problem areas can be identified.


    1. Enter CHECK MODE Click here.

    2. Fully warm up the engine.

    3. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes or more.

    4. Drive the vehicle at more than 40 km/h (25 mph) for several tens of seconds.

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

    Tech Tips

    By performing this Active Test, the engine speed is maintained at 2,000 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. Start the engine and turn the intelligent tester ON.

    3. Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak.

      A

      Inspect and repair cylinder injector with revised injection volume of less than -3.0 mm3:


      • Perform power balance inspection and identify malfunctioning cylinder

      • Replace malfunctioning cylinder injector

      Abnormal value cylinder injector 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, then check and repair it

      Abnormal value cylinder injector injects excessively small quantity of fuel:


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

      • Abnormal value cylinder injector compression decreases

      • Abnormal value cylinder injector injects excessively large quantity of fuel

      C

      Inspect and repair all cylinder injectors:

      Clean all cylinder injectors, and then inspect and repair them

      All cylinder injectors inject excessively small quantity of fuel:

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

      Tech Tips

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


      • Despite the injector 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.
