Tech Tips
When the sliding resistance of the internal parts of the injector assemblies (i.e. armature shaft, command piston and plunger) has increased due to internal contamination, injection quantity will increase at high common rail pressure due to a delay in injector assembly closure.
When black smoke occurs due to contamination of the injector assemblies, there are usually other symptoms, such as engine knocking noise at cold idling, rough idling, difficulty starting, etc. which are also present when the common rail pressure is low.
| Main fault | Circuit fault: The injector assembly does not open. |

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 age. Do not assume the vehicle to be normal when the Data List outputs standard values. There may be concealed factors of the malfunction.
Explanation of Symptom
| Black Smoke | The fuel used in diesel engines has a higher boiling point and evaporates much slower than that used in gasoline engines. Additionally, the fuel is injected directly, so the air fuel mixture in diesel engines is formed in a very short period of time and is less homogenous. This is why diesel engines must operate with a larger air fuel ratio across the entire operating range. An insufficient quantity of air results in imperfect combustion and increased particulate (soot) emissions. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, a large amount of fuel is injected. As a result, the air fuel ratio becomes rich. In this relatively rich environment, fuel droplets lacking in oxygen burn imperfectly producing soot, which is emitted as black smoke. In order to prevent black smoke production, the maximum injection quantity for a given intake air mass is limited (final injection quantity is limited by mass air flow). Black smoke is emitted when either 1) a lack of oxygen is present during combustion, or 2) Too much fuel is injected for a given intake air mass and the air fuel ratio becomes temporarily rich. |
PROCEDURE
READ OUTPUT DTC (RELATING TO ENGINE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the pending DTCs.

CHECK FOR BLACK SMOKE
Start the engine and drive the vehicle until the engine coolant temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) or higher.
Stop the vehicle and allow the engine to idle.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds, and then release it [A].
Repeat the above procedure [A] 10 times or more [B].
Check for black smoke emission during procedures [A] and [B].
| OK |
|---|
| Black smoke is emitted less than 5 times. |
Tech Tips
Even if the black smoke is very thin, count the number of black smoke emissions if there is any visible smoke.
If the procedure is repeated 10 times or more and black smoke stops being emitted, this probably means that the black smoke was caused by a temporary accumulation of soot which occurred when driving at low speeds, and is not a malfunction.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONVERTER SUB-ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED
Even though it has been determined that the DPNR catalytic converter (exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly) needs to be replaced, make sure to complete diagnosis for this problem before replacing it.
Tech Tips
This problem is occurred because an excessive amount of PM has accumulated and resulted in abnormal combustion. It is necessary to diagnose the cause of abnormal PM accumulation and repair the problem. Therefore, do not perform replacement at this time.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data.
Take a snapshot of the following Data List items.
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 list below is that of a normal vehicle, but as the data varies between individual vehicles, this data should only be used for reference.
Check the Data List at idling and at 4000 rpm with no load after the engine is warmed up.

REPLACE INJECTOR ASSEMBLIES OF ALL CYLINDERS
Replace the injector assemblies.
Note
When replacing the injector assembly for a cylinder, always be sure to use a new injection pipe.
Follow the procedure in the repair manual and temporarily install the injection pipes and nozzle leakage pipe, and then correctly position the injector assemblies. After that, tighten parts according to the torque specifications.
If the installation procedure is not performed correctly, injector assemblies may become out of position, which may cause the injector assemblies to deteriorate, resulting in malfunctions.
If an injector assembly deteriorates and malfunctions, other problems such as knocking, rough idle, etc. may occur.
If an injector assembly becomes out of position, it is possible that the seal between the injector assembly and injection pipe may become incomplete, resulting in a fuel leak.

READ VALUE USING GTS (MAP AND ATMOSPHERE PRESSURE)

| Atmosphere Pressure |
| MAP |
Compare MAP to Atmosphere Pressure when the ignition switch ON (engine stopped).
Tech Tips
If MAP and Atmosphere Pressure have the same value, both are normal. If there is a difference of 10 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.5 psi) 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 (1.0 kgf/cm2, 15 psi). For every 100 m (328 ft.) increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa (0.01 kgf/cm2, 0.1 psi). This varies by weather (high atmospheric pressure, low atmospheric pressure).

Take a snapshot with the GTS during the Active Test.
Measure the difference between the target fuel pressure (Target Common Rail Pressure) and the actual fuel pressure (Fuel Press) when the "Test the Fuel Leak" Active Test is performed.
Tech Tips
In order to obtain an exact measurement, perform the Active Test 5 times and measure the difference once each time the Active Test is performed.
| OK |
|---|
| The difference between the target fuel pressure and the actual fuel pressure 2 seconds after the Active Test starts is less than 10000 kPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1451 psi). |
Tech Tips
"Target Common Rail Pressure" is the target fuel pressure controlled by the ECM.
"Fuel Press" is the actual fuel pressure in common rail assembly.
When the pressure discharge valve on the common rail assembly has a malfunction, the actual fuel pressure changes as shown by "Pressure Discharge Valve Abnormal Fuel Press" in the illustration.
The pressure discharge valve operates to discharge fuel pressure when the internal pressure of the common rail exceeds the target fuel pressure.
There are 2 fuel pressure sensor circuits and both of them display the same value. If the difference between Fuel Press and Common Rail Press Sens 2 exceeds 10000 kPa (102 kgf/cm2, 1451 psi) for 2 seconds or more, it is necessary to inspect or repair the wiring for the fuel pressure sensor.

Note
When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, make sure the valve is completely closed.
When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, perform initialization procedure.
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 the solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in the solvent may damage the parts.
Tech Tips
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 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.
