INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM requires registration Click here and initialization Click here.
After replacing a fuel supply pump, the ECM requires initialization Click here.
After replacing a fuel injector, the ECM requires registration Click here.
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
CONFIRM CONDITIONS PRESENT WHEN WHITE SMOKE APPEARED WITH CUSTOMER
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?
Determine the symptoms of the problem to narrow down the possible causes.

CHECK WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED
Start the engine.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal and then release it.
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.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| White smoke is emitted just after engine start only | A |
| White smoke is always and continuously emitted | B |
| There is oil on the exhaust pipe etc. Tech Tips The oil on the exhaust pipe may be from the transmission, etc. |
C |
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.
|
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).
|
|
| 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).
|
White smoke is produced as the air/fuel ratio is too rich due to catalytic converter deterioration or characteristic deviation of the A/F sensor and MAF meter. |

CHECK TEMPERATURE WHEN WHITE SMOKE IS EMITTED
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.

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
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / EGR Close Lrn. Status.
Read the value.

| EGR Close Lrn. Status is OK |
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position.
When changing the Active Test value to 0, 30, 60, 90, 60, 30 and 0%, check that Actual EGR Valve Pos. smoothly changes to the set opening angle.
| OK |
|---|
| Value smoothly changes to set opening angle. |
Remove the EGR valve assembly Click here.
Visually check the EGR valve for deposits.
If there are deposits, clean the EGR valve.
Note
When cleaning the EGR valve, make sure the valve is completely closed.
Do not forcibly open the valve, as it may be damaged or deformed.
When cleaning the EGR valve, 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.
Hold the EGR valve up to a light, and then from the side indicated by the arrow in the illustration, visually check that there is no gap between the valve and body.
| OK |
|---|
| No light passes through (there is no gap between the valve and body). |
If light passes through (there is a gap between the valve and body), replace the EGR valve assembly.
Tech Tips
Light passes through part A shown in the illustration even if the valve is completely closed. This is not a problem.

CHECK ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Inspect the engine to see whether white smoke is being emitted due to defects in the engine itself.
Oil leaking into the combustion chamber due to a faulty valve stem oil seal.
Oil leaking into the combustion chamber due to a faulty injector nozzle sheet.
Low compression.
Tech Tips
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.
