  1. Faults and Symptoms of Common Rail Diesel Components


    1. Engine Control

      Table 1. Turbocharger System
      Main fault Turbocharger Sub-assembly (compressor side seal ring, turbine side seal ring, shaft, oil drain)
      Symptoms

      White smoke

      Excessive oil consumption
      Table 2. Glow System
      Main fault Glow system malfunction
      Symptoms Difficult to start, rough idle, knocking, white smoke (when cold)
      Diagnostic Point

      • Measure the resistance of the glow plug

      • Check the glow plug indicator light
      Table 3. Engine
      Main fault Loss of compression
      Symptoms Rough idle (constant lack of power)
      Data List

      Engine Speed of Cyl #1 to #4


      • When cranking during the "Check the Cylinder Compression" Active Test, if there is a high speed cylinder (approx. 100 rpm more than the other cylinders) that cylinder may lose compression.

      Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4


      • If Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 is more than 3 mm3/st, the cylinder may have a fault.

    2. Diesel Injection

      Table 4. Injector Assembly
      Main fault Blockage
      Symptoms Rough idle, lack of power, black smoke, white smoke, knocking
      Data List

      Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4


      • When an Injector Feedback Val is more than 3 mm3/st, there may be a malfunction in the corresponding cylinder. Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 can be read after idling for 1 minute with the engine warmed up (engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F)).
      Tip:

      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.

      Table 5. Poor Quality Fuel
      Main fault -
      Symptoms Difficult to start, rough idle (especially when cold)

    3. Diesel EGR

      Table 6. EGR System
      Main fault

      • Does not move smoothly

      • Does not close fully
      Symptoms

      • Rough Idle

      • EGR valve stuck closed: A loud turbocharger sound.

      • EGR valve stuck open: Difficult to start (does not stall), black smoke, white smoke (when engine is cold), lack of power, jerking (If there is an excess in the quantity of EGR and there is a heavy load, when the vehicle starts moving, a lack of power will be felt. Also, when racing the engine, there will be some black smoke).
      Data List

      Actual EGR Valve Pos, Target EGR Valve Pos


      • Generally, Actual EGR Valve Pos = Target EGR Valve Pos +/-5% (fully closed: 0%, fully open: 100%).

      • Using the EGR valve Active Test, check whether Actual EGR Valve Pos follows Target EGR Valve Pos (the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature should be considered when a malfunction occurs).

      • EGR valve is fully closed when the ignition switch is ON (engine stopped).

      • EGR valve opens to the halfway point at idling after the engine is warmed up.

      • When the EGR valve does not close, MAF (Mass Air Flow Sub-assembly) decreases when the vehicle is accelerated at full throttle. MAP also decreases in comparison to Target Booster Pressure, however there is not a large difference.

      EGR Close Lrn. Val.


      • When leaving the vehicle idling, the normal range of EGR Close Lrn. Val. is 0 to 1 V.

      • In cases when EGR Close Lrn. Val. is out of the normal range (0 to 1 V), it is possible that the EGR valve cannot completely close.

  1. Explanation of Symptom

    White Smoke When the engine is misfiring, any fuel that has been injected but remains unburned is emitted as white smoke.

    Turbocharger internal oil leak (Click here)

    If oil leak occurs from turbine side seal, large amount of white smoke will be emitted from exhaust pipe.

    Internal oil leak is not visible from outside of turbocharger sub-assembly.

PROCEDURE

    CONFIRM CONDITIONS PRESENT WHEN WHITE SMOKE APPEARED WITH CUSTOMER


    1. Ask the customer about the conditions when the white smoke was emitted.

      - What were the driving conditions when the white smoke was generated.

      - Is the white smoke constantly emitted, or only occasionally?

      - Does the white smoke occur only when the vehicle is cold, or when the vehicle is both cold and hot?

      - Is the white smoke emitted just after starting the vehicle only, or does it continue while the vehicle is idling?

    2. Determine the symptoms of the problem to narrow down the possible causes.

    CHECK WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED


    1. Start the engine.

    2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, and then release it.

    3. B0026YXC03
      *a Example

      Check whether white smoke is emitted or not when racing the engine.

      Note:

      Be sure not to check for white smoke indoors.

      Tip:

      • If the white smoke is emitted only just after engine start and disappears later, the smoke is not from the turbocharger.

      • If the turbocharger is the cause of the problem, regardless of whether the engine is cold or warmed up, there will be a large amount of white smoke to the extent that visibility is obstructed for a few meters in the area of the smoke (as shown in the illustration).

      • Depending on whether there is oil mixed with the fuel, or whether there is unburned fuel present, the smell of the exhaust gas differs. When oil is mixed in, the exhaust gas smells such as burning oil.

      • When continuously traveling with the engine close to idle for 1 hour or more, such as when in heavy traffic, unburned fuel accumulates in the catalytic converter, and can produce white smoke when accelerating.

    CHECK TEMPERATURE WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED


    1. Check whether the white smoke is emitted only when the engine coolant temperature is below 0°C (32°F).

      Tip:

      • If so, the smoke is not from the turbocharger and may be the smoke of unburned fuel.

      • If misfiring occurs, unburned fuel is emitted.

    CHECK ENGINE ASSEMBLY


    1. Inspect the engine to see whether white smoke is being emitted due to defects in the engine itself.


      1. Check for oil leaking into the combustion chamber due to a faulty valve stem oil seal.

      2. Check for oil leaking into the combustion chamber due to a faulty injector assembly nozzle sheet.

      3. Check for low compression.

        Tip:

        If the engine runs too rough, Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 cannot be corrected and the readout will (incorrectly) show that Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 are within the normal range.

        Tip:

        If defects are found, perform repairs, and then check that the symptoms are no longer present.

    It can be determined that the injector assembly is faulty as the corresponding cylinder is malfunctioning, but has no compression loss.


    1. Replace the injector assembly of the malfunctioning cylinder.

      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, 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.

      If the pressure in the crank case has risen, white smoke will be produced just after the engine is started. In this case, if blow-by gas is ejected when the oil level gauge is slightly removed*, it is possible that the piston is damaged.
