INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Explanation of Symptom
| Lack of Power | The power of the diesel engine is determined by the quantity of injected fuel and the quantity of intake air. The quantity of injected fuel is determined by the fuel pressure and the amount of time the injector assembly is open. Basically, the fuel pressure is controlled so that it reaches the target fuel pressure. The throttle valve does not restrict air flow volume, so the manifold absolute pressure is almost the same as atmospheric pressure when idling. At more than approximately 1500 rpm, the turbo starts to operate causing the manifold absolute pressure to become higher than atmospheric pressure. |
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).
After replacing the fuel supply pump, the ECM needs initialization (Click here).
After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (Click here).
PROCEDURE
READ OUTPUT DTC (RELATING TO ENGINE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read pending DTCs.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| No DTCs are output | A |
| Engine related DTCs are output | B |
TAKE SNAPSHOT DURING IDLING AND 4000 RPM (PROCEDURE 2)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Diesel Lack of Power.
With no load after the engine is warmed up, take a snapshot when idling and at 4000 rpm.
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 shift lever should be in neutral and the A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.
TAKE SNAPSHOT DURING LACK OF POWER (PROCEDURE 3)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Diesel Lack of Power.
Take a snapshot of the Data List items with the GTS during lack of power.
A snapshot can be used to compare vehicle data from the time of the malfunction to normal data and is very useful for troubleshooting.
Move the shift lever to 2nd gear and accelerate the vehicle with the accelerator pedal fully depressed so that the engine speed is around 3000 rpm (obey all laws and regulations, and pay attention to traffic conditions while driving the vehicle). Then, check the Data List with the engine warmed up and idling (the shift lever should be in neutral and the A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off).
Check for a lack of power during the driving test.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Apparent lack of power is present | A |
| Apparent lack of power is not present | B |
CHECK SNAPSHOT (MAP)
Check MAP in the snapshot taken in procedure 2 when the engine was running at 4000 rpm with no load.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Except below*1 | A |
| MAP is below 90 kPa*2 | B |
| MAP is 210 kPa or higher*3 | C |
The above values were measured under standard atmospheric pressure. The values are influenced by elevation, weather conditions, etc.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.
*1: There may be a problem in the intake system or fuel system.
*2: There may be a problem in the turbocharger system.
*3: There may be a problem in the turbocharger (waste gate valve).
CHECK SNAPSHOT (COMMON RAIL PRESSURE, TARGET COMMON RAIL PRESSURE AND MAP)
Check Common Rail Pressure, Target Common Rail Pressure and MAP in the snapshot taken in procedure 3 when the vehicle was accelerating with the accelerator pedal fully depressed in 2nd gear and the engine speed around 3000 rpm.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| MAP is 230 kPa or higher at an engine speed of 3000 rpm | A |
| Difference between Common Rail Pressure and Target Common Rail Pressure is 20000 kPa or more | B |
| Except above | C |
The above values are applicable under standard atmospheric pressure. The values are influenced by elevation, weather conditions, etc.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.
The engine speed must be 1500 rpm or less before performing the inspection in which the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and the engine is accelerated to a speed of 3000 rpm.
If the turbocharger movement is not smooth, etc., the value of MAP in the snapshot taken during lack of power will not reach the target value.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and the engine speed is 3000 rpm, MAP should be higher than 230 kPa.
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR - ECM)
Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.
Disconnect the ECM connectors.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
| Standard Resistance | |||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Make sure that there is no evidence of any wire harnesses being crushed and that there are no wires that are about to snap.
Make sure that no terminals are worn down and that there are no bad connections.
Make sure there are no shorts between wires in areas where the wires bend or where a clamp might have slid along the wire harness.
Make sure there are no shorts to body ground in areas where wire harnesses are attached to metal parts.
CHECK OR REPLACE TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the actuator hose from the compressor housing.
Close the compressor housing side tube with a hose clip or equivalent.
Using SST, apply pressure to the actuator to open the waste gate valve.
| Valve opening pressure |
|---|
| Specified pressure* (See table below) |
Never apply more than the predetermined maximum pressure* to the actuator.
*: Valve opening pressure and predetermined maximum pressure above differ according to the turbocharger. For the specifications, see the table below.

| 17201-30080 | 119 | 136 | 0.98 to 1.91 |
| 09992-00242 |
Check that the actuator rod moves and that the waste gate valve opens.
If the waste gate valve does not open, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.
CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED
READ VALUE USING GTS (MAP AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAP and Atmosphere Pressure.
Compare MAP to Atmosphere Pressure when the ignition switch is ON (do not start the engine).
| Standard |
|---|
| Difference between MAP and Atmosphere Pressure is less than 8 kPa. |
If MAP and Atmosphere Pressure have the same value, both are normal. If there is a difference of 8 kPa or more, compare the values to the atmospheric pressure for that day. The sensor whose deviation is the greatest is malfunctioning.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.

REMOVE DEPOSIT (ELECTRIC EGR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY)
Remove the electric EGR control valve assembly.
Visually check the electric EGR control valve assembly for deposits.
If there are deposits, clean the electric EGR control valve assembly.
If the EGR valve does not open properly or is stuck closed, the amount of intake air increases and combustion sounds and engine vibration may increase.
If the EGR valve does not operate due to clogging or disconnection of the vacuum hose, repair the hose.
If the EGR valve does not close properly or is stuck open, EGR becomes excessive and combustion becomes unstable. Also, there may be a lack of power. In this case, clean the electric EGR control valve assembly.
When cleaning the electric vacuum regulating valve assembly, use a piece of cloth soaked with nonresidue solvent. Spraying the solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in solvent may damage the parts.
