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 MAF). 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 on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read pending DTCs.

CHECK FOR BLACK SMOKE
Start the engine and drive the vehicle until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Stop the vehicle and allow the engine to idle.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds, and then release it.*1
Repeat the above procedure *1 10 times or more.*2
Check for black smoke emission during procedures *1 and *2.
| OK |
|---|
| After repeating 10 times or more, black smoke stops being emitted. |
Tech Tips
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.

CHECK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
Check for air leakage and blockage between the air cleaner and turbocharger, and between the turbocharger and intake manifold.
Tech Tips
Make sure that the air cleaner is not clogged and the intake and exhaust system hoses are not disconnected.
When the vacuum hoses are disconnected (the swirl control valve is always fully open) or the valve is stuck open, smoke may increase without feeling a lack of power (visually check the operation of the swirl control valve when starting the engine).
Check that the intercooler is not clogged with foreign matter.
Check that there are no disconnected, pinched or leaking hoses or pipes.
Check that there are no modifications made by the user.OK:

TAKE SNAPSHOT DURING IDLING AND 4000 RPM (AFTER ENGINE WARMED UP)
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.

Compare MAP to Atmosphere Pressure when the ignition switch is 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 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 (high atmospheric pressure, low atmospheric pressure).
