DESCRIPTION


  1. Faults and Symptoms of Common Rail Diesel Components


    1. Engine Control

      Turbocharger System
      Component Turbocharger system
      Main fault
      • Air leak in the turbocharged air passage

      • Turbocharger (turbine, bearing)

      Symptoms

      Lack of power (when vehicle starting, under heavy load)

      (Black smoke is not emitted when racing the engine while the vehicle is stopped)

      White smoke

      Data List

      MAP (inside intake air pressure), Target Booster Pressure


      • When the accelerator is fully depressed, if MAP is 20 kPa lower than Target Booster Pressure for more than 5 seconds then a lack of power will be felt.

      • With the ignition switch ON or while idling, MAP = atmospheric pressure (standard atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa). When the engine speed is about 1500 rpm or more, the turbocharger starts to take effect and MAP becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.

      • Atmospheric pressure decreases 1 kPa each time altitude increases by 100 m, and is also affected slightly by the current weather conditions.

      Glow System
      Component Glow system
      Main fault Open circuit, glow plug relay fault
      Symptoms Difficult to start, rough idle, knocking, white smoke (when cold)
      Data List Check the glow plug indicator light
      Diagnostic Point Try to measure the resistance of the glow plug
      Engine
      Component 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

      Fuel Injector
      Component Fuel injector
      Main fault Blockage
      Symptoms Rough idle, lack of power, black smoke, white smoke, knocking
      Data List

      Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4


      • When an Injection Feedback Val is more than 3 mm3/st, the cylinder is abnormal. The Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 can be read after idling for 1 minute with the engine warmed up (engine coolant temperature is more than 70°C (158°F)).

      Tech Tips

      When the sliding resistance of the internal parts of the injectors (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 closing.

      Injector Driver (EDU)
      Component Injector Driver (EDU)

  2. Data List Related to White Smoke

    Note

    The Data List values in the table are the results of checking one vehicle under a specific condition (engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature etc.).

    Therefore, use these values for reference only.


    1. Engine Control

      Engine Speed
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Engine Speed Idling: 720 to 820 rpm Crankshaft position sensor When the crankshaft position sensor is malfunctioning, "Engine Speed" is approximately 0 or varies greatly from the actual engine speed.
      Intake Air
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Intake Air - Intake air temperature sensor.
      • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature are approximately equal.

      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      Coolant Temp
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Coolant Temp
      • Engine coolant temperature is approximately equal to intake air temperature after leaving the vehicle overnight. After warm-up: Engine coolant temperature is 70°C (158°F) or more.

      • In cases when the engine coolant temperature output is obviously higher than the actual engine coolant temperature, when it is cold there will be difficulty starting due to problems with glow plugs or insufficient fuel injection.

      • In cases when the engine coolant temperature sensor output is obviously lower than the actual engine coolant temperature, when it is warm there will be difficulty starting (black smoke will also occur) due to an excess of injected fuel.

      Engine coolant temperature sensor
      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      • After a long soak, the coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature are approximately equal.

      Engine Speed of Cyl #1 to #4
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Engine Speed of Cyl #1 to #4

      When cranking, the engine speed of each cylinder is the same under normal conditions. When a cylinder is approximately 100 rpm higher than the other cylinders, it is conceivable that the compression of that cylinder is being lost.

      Tech Tips

      This data is output only when the Active Test "Check the Cylinder Compression" is performed.

      -
      • Output only when the Active Test "Check the Cylinder Compression" is performed.

      • Fuel injection is stopped when this Active Test is carried out.

      • Indicates the speed of each cylinder when cranking.

        Example - Normal: "Engine speed" of all cylinders is approximately equal.

        No. 1 cylinder compression low: "Engine speed of Cyl#1" = approximately 300 rpm, "Engine speed of Cyl #2 to #4 cylinder" = approximately 200 rpm.

    2. Diesel Injection

      Target Common Rail Pressure
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Target Common Rail Pressure - -
      • Inspect the (actual) fuel pressure, comparing it against the common rail target value.

      • Considered normal when the actual fuel pressure is within +/-5000 kPa of the target fuel pressure under stable conditions.

      Results of vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 35000 kPa

      • Cranking: 50000 kPa

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 35000 kPa (2 minutes after starting the vehicle)

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 63240 kPa

      • Running without load (3500 rpm): 72950 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 138590 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 183210 kPa

      Fuel Press
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Fuel Press
      • In a stable operating condition (e.g. idling), Fuel Press is Target Common Rail Pressure +/-5000 kPa.

      • During cranking, if Fuel Press is lower than 25000 kPa, there may be difficulty starting (take care as there is a response lag when the pressure rises).

      • When Fuel Press is lower than 25000 kPa, rough idling will occur.


      • If there is a fault with the fuel supply pump (lack of discharge quantity) or pressure discharge valve (will not fully close), the fuel pressure will drop. Also, a blocked fuel filter, leakage from fuel pipes, and lack of fuel will also make the fuel pressure drop.

      • If air mixes with the fuel, the fuel pressure will shift away from the target fuel pressure.

      • When there is a fault with the fuel supply pump, there is a possibility of lack of power, engine stall, rough idle and difficulty starting.


      • Fuel press is the actual common rail fuel pressure.

      • Inspect by comparing Fuel Press with Target Common Rail Pressure.

      • The ECM uses Fuel Press for feedback control of Target Fuel Pressure via the supply pump.

        The injection amount is determined based on the injection timing and fuel pressure.

        Also, the spray pattern is selected based on the fuel pressure.

      Results of vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 0 kPa

      • Cranking: 35390 kPa

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 33640 kPa (2 minutes after starting the vehicle)

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 62920 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 134390 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 178670 kPa

      Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4
      • When idling after the engine is warmed up, the fuel quantity of each fuel injector is corrected to make each cylinder engine speed equal.

      • Cylinders more than 3 mm3/st may have a fault.

      Tech Tips

      Read the value after one minute of idling after warm up (engine coolant temperature above 70°C (158°F)). This value is only calculated when idling.


      • Fault with a fuel injector or lack of compression of a cylinder with a large Injection Feedback Val.

      • Do a compression Active Test. If there is a cylinder that is around 100 rpm more than the other cylinders, there is a possibility that the compression of that cylinder is being lost.

      • If all the cylinder speeds are even according to the compression Active Test result, the fuel injector of the cylinder may have a fault.

      • With fuel injector faults, other than difficulty starting, there is a possibility of rough idling, lack of power, black smoke, white smoke and knocking.


      • When idling after warm up, the injection amount for each cylinder is corrected to optimize the difference of each cylinder engine speed.

        Example: For cylinders that are slowing the engine speed compared to other cylinders, the injection volume is increased.

      • "Injection Feedback Val" more than 3.0 mm3/st: Injector breakdown or insufficient compression is causing poor combustion.

      Injection Volume
      Data List Normal Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Injection Volume - -

      After warming up the engine, when Injection Volume during idling is 10 mm3/st or more, there is tendency for the injector to clog.

      -
      • Check the air fuel ratio sensor output with the exhaust gas temperature (Exhaust Temperature B1S1) at 200°C (392°F) or higher (example: driving at speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) or more in 3rd gear).

      • If the exhaust fuel addition injector is clogged, the AF Lambda B1S1 value will not change even if DPNR catalyst regeneration is performed with the intelligent tester.

      • Furthermore, if the main injectors become clogged, the AF Lambda B1S1 value will increase under all circumstances while the engine is running (the value increases regardless of whether the DPNR catalyst regeneration has been performed).

  1. Explanation of Symptom

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

    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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CONFIRM CONDITIONS PRESENT WHEN WHITE SMOKE APPEARED WITH CUSTOMER


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

      - 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.

  3. CHECK WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED

    A01IRABE01

    1. Start the engine.

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

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

      Note

      Be sure not to check for white smoke indoors.

      Tech Tips


      • 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 like burning oil.

      Tech Tips


      • White smoke may be emitted at a specific exhaust gas temperature. Listed are possible symptoms and causes for this case. Please use this information as reference when carrying out malfunction diagnosis.

      • The exhaust gas temperature may be checked using "Exhaust Temperature B1S1, Exhaust Temperature B1S2" in the Data List.

      Symptoms Causes

      White smoke emitted when the exhaust temperature is below 200°C (452°F) and the vehicle is traveling at low speed or when accelerating after decelerating.


      • Related Data List

        - Exhaust Temperature B1S1

        - Exhaust Temperature B1S2

      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*.

      *: In this case the white smoke is not caused by a defect, so explain to the customer that the white smoke is caused by an accumulation of unburned fuel due to low-speed driving etc., and monitor the situation.

      (If the customer reports that the problem only occurs after continuous driving in heavy traffic/low speed driving, the problem may resolve itself when the catalytic converter temperature is raised through high-speed driving. However, if the catalytic converter activity is reduced, this will not resolve the problem, so the catalytic converter must be replaced. Deterioration of the catalytic converter can cause EGR malfunction and injector malfunction, so if there has not been any repair in the past, check and repair these components as well.)

      White smoke is emitted when accelerating while the exhaust gas temperature is around 200 to 300°C (452 to 572°F) (in the process of rising to 500°C (932°F) for DPF regeneration).


      • Related Data List

        - DPNR/DPF Status Reju (PM)

        - Exhaust Temperature B1S1

        - Exhaust Temperature B1S2


      • Deterioration of the exhaust gas temperature sensor may be causing the sensor to read lower than the actual temperature, so the amount of fuel added is increased and white smoke is produced. In this case the sensor will need to be replaced.

      • If catalytic converter activity has decreased, more fuel will be added without an increase in exhaust gas temperature, possibly resulting in white smoke.

        In this case the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. Deterioration of the catalytic converter can cause EGR and injector malfunction, so if there has not been any repair in the past, check these components as well and repair if necessary.

      Intermittent emission of white smoke that coincides with high catalytic converter temperature (500°C (932°F) or more) and rich air/fuel ratio (D-CAT only).

  4. CHECK TEMPERATURE WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED


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

      Tech Tips


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

      • If misfiring occurs unburned fuel is emitted.

  25. CHECK EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY

    Tech Tips


    • If the amount of EGR is excessive due to a failure of the EGR valve, combustion when the coolant temperature is cold becomes unstable and leads to misfire.

    • When the EGR valve cannot completely close, a lack of power is felt and the MAF sensor value deviates from the standard value


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / EGR Close Lrn. Status.
