| 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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly or diesel throttle body assembly, use a piece of cloth soaked with cleaning solvent. Spraying solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in solvent may damage the parts.
When replacing the ECM and/or injector assembly, perform ECM Initialization and Registration.
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
This troubleshooting procedure checks for knocking and rattling.
Knocking is most likely to occur while the engine is idling.

INSPECT 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.
When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, make sure the valve is completely closed.
Do not forcibly open the valve, as it may be damaged or deformed.
When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, use a piece of cloth soaked with cleaning solvent. Spraying solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in solvent may damage the parts.

| No light passes through (there is no clearance between the valve and body). |
If light passes through (there is clearance between the valve and body), replace the electric EGR control valve assembly.
Light passes through part A shown in the illustration even if the valve is completely closed, this is not a malfunction.

READ VALUE USING GTS (INJECTION VOLUME AND INJECTION FEEDBACK VAL #1 TO #4)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine and allow it to idle until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Allow the engine to idle for 1 minute or more.
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off with a fully warm engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Injection Volume and Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4.

| Injection Volume |
| Injection Feedback Val #1 |

Read the values during engine idling.
When reading the values of Data List, confirm that PM regeneration is not activated (value of "After Injection Period" is 0) by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / After Injection Period.
If PM regeneration is activated (value of "After Injection Period" is not 0), drive the vehicle until the PM regeneration is complete (value of "After Injection Period" becomes 0).

Cylinders that have a compensation value which is more than the value specified above are considered to be malfunctioning. Use the following steps to inspect and repair the cylinder.
If the value of Injection Volume is more than 8 mm3/st and the values of Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 is within the threshold, replace the injector assemblies for all cylinders.
In this case, there is a possibility that too much recirculated exhaust gas is entering the engine. Therefore, you should compare the Target EGR Position with the Actual EGR Valve Pos. by entering the following menus using the GTS: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Target EGR Position and Actual EGR Valve Pos.
If the difference between Target EGR Position and Actual EGR Valve Pos. exceeds +/-10%, the EGR system may be malfunctioning.
