Tech Tips


  • The cylinder which has the compensation value, indicated by Injection Feedback Val #1, #2, #3 and #4, that varies from the other cylinders may be malfunctioning.

  • If DTC P0093 (fuel leaks from high-pressure area) is stored simultaneously, a leakage malfunction of a specific cylinder has probably occurred.

  • If DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204 and/or P062D (open or short in the injector circuit or ECM internal malfunction) is stored simultaneously, there is probably a faulty circuit located between the ECM and the injector assembly.

  • If only DTC P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or P0304 (injector malfunction) has been stored, an injector assembly mechanical malfunction or insufficient compression (valve clearance, etc.) has probably occurred. An open or short malfunction of the ECM or injector circuit is unlikely.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC will be stored if the engine speed fluctuation between each cylinder is large. The ECM monitors changes in the crankshaft rotation speed using the crankshaft position sensor in order to detect improper combustion. The camshaft position sensor also plays a role in determining which cylinder has the problem. The fluctuation counter increases when irregular crankshaft rotation speed variation exceeds the threshold with the engine idling. Therefore, if any one of the cylinders is operating poorly (rough idle), the ECM stores this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here ) and initialization Click here.

  • After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration Click here.

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • When this DTC is stored, be sure to carefully examine "Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4", "Injection Volume", "Common Rail Pressure", "Target Common Rail Pressure", "Engine Speed", "MAF", "Coolant Temp" and "Vehicle Speed" in the freeze frame data.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0301, P0302, P0303 OR P0304)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    4. Read the DTCs.

      P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips


      • If any DTCs other than P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

      • If DTCs other than P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 are not output, check the fuel condition before proceeding to the next step.

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (COMPENSATORY INJECTION VOLUME FOR EACH CYLINDER)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
      Tester Display
      Injection Feedback Val #1
      Injection Feedback Val #2
      Injection Feedback Val #3
      Injection Feedback Val #4

    4. Read the value.

      Standard value
      The compensatory injection volume is less than 3.0 mm3/st

      Tech Tips


      • If the injector assembly is malfunctioning, the compensatory injection volume remains at 5.0 mm3/st.

      • If there is a disconnection, the feedback value will increase and +5.0 mm3/st will be indicated, because it will become impossible for the injector assembly to inject.

    5. Inspect and repair the cylinder that has an improper compensation value according to the following steps.

  5. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE SELECT CYLINDER FUEL CUT)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Select Cylinder Fuel Cut.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test
      Tester Display
      Control the Select Cylinder Fuel Cut

    4. Check the 4 cylinders in sequence to identify any faulty cylinders by performing the power-balance inspection.

      Tech Tips


      • If the engine idle speed does not change when an injector assembly is disabled, the cylinder being tested is malfunctioning.

      • If the cylinder being tested is normal, there will be a significant change in idle speed when the fuel injection is stopped for that cylinder.

  7. REPLACE INJECTOR ASSEMBLY


    1. Replace the injector assembly.

      Click here

      Note


      • When replacing the injector assembly for a cylinder, always be sure to use a new No. 1 injection pipe sub-assembly and a new No. 2 injection pipe sub-assembly.

      • Follow the procedure in the repair manual and temporarily install the No. 1 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 2 injection pipe sub-assembly and No. 1 nozzle leakage pipe assembly 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 sub-assembly may become incomplete, resulting in a fuel leak.
