INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Explanation of Symptom
| Starting Trouble | For good starting it is essential to have:
The fuel is ignited by the heat which is generated by compression pressure. With problems such as a depleted battery, the crankshaft speed can become low, or if the engine compression is poor due to leakage, the compression pressure will not rise and there will be difficulty starting. When the engine is cold, even if there is compression heat, it will escape from the combustion chamber. For this reason, when the engine is started when it is cold, the glow plugs heat the compressed air. Also, after starting the engine, by charging the glow plugs for a fixed time set according to the engine coolant temperature, diesel knocking and white smoke are prevented. The quantity of fuel injected is determined by the fuel pressure and also the amount of time the injector assembly is 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 is normal when the Data List outputs standard values. There may be concealed factors of the malfunction.

TAKE SNAPSHOT DURING STARTING AND IDLING (PROCEDURE 3)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data.
| *1 | Snapshot Button |
Take a snapshot when idling with no load after the engine is warmed up and when starting trouble is occurring.
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 illustration below is that of a normal vehicle, but as the data varies between individual vehicles, this data should only be used for reference.
When there is trouble starting with a cold engine, take the snapshot when the engine is cold. Then warm up the engine (engine coolant temperature is 70°C (158°F) or higher) and after idling the vehicle for 1 minute (A/C off, electrical load off), take a snapshot of the data for 15 seconds while idling.
Graphs like the ones shown below can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot from the tester to a PC. Intelligent Viewer must be installed on the PC.
Take a snapshot when the problem is occurring, such as when the engine is cold. However, if the problem does not reoccur, it is acceptable to only take a snapshot after the engine is warmed up and when the engine is started.

|
CHECK SNAPSHOT (FUEL PRESS)
Check Fuel Press in the snapshot taken in procedure 3 when the engine was started.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| At the point in the illustration labeled "a", Fuel Press is less than 10000 kPa from the value of Fuel Press when cranking started | A |
| At the point in the illustration labeled "c", Fuel Press is below Target Common Rail Pressure by 15000 kPa or more | B |
| Fuel Press increases to a value that is higher than Target Common Rail Pressure immediately after cranking, and, at the point in the illustration labeled "d", Fuel Press is higher than Target Common Rail Pressure | C |
| Except above | D |
Tech Tips
Even if Fuel Press is temporarily higher than Target Common Rail Pressure, as shown at the point in the illustration labeled "b", the fuel supply pump is normal.
Fuel pressure is about 25000 to 35000 kPa when the engine is cranking and the engine coolant temperature is 0°C (32°F) or higher.
Fuel pressure increases rapidly during cranking.

INSPECT INJECTOR ASSEMBLY (INSPECTION FOR VALVE CLOSING PROBLEM)
Remove the glow plug assembly for all the cylinders Click here.
Visually check if there is fuel on the glow plugs.
Tech Tips
If there is fuel on a glow plug, fuel may be leaking from an injector assembly.
After replacing an injector assembly, make sure that the common rail pressure (fuel pressure) is within 5000 kPa of the target fuel pressure while cranking the engine.
If there is fuel on a glow plug, fuel may have mixed with the engine oil. Check the engine oil amount and whether the engine oil smells of diesel fuel. If the oil level is above the full line or the engine oil smells of diesel fuel, replace the engine oil.

| Except below | A |
| The values of Engine Speed Cyl #1 to #4 are within +/-10 rpm of each other. | B |
Tech Tips
When cranking, if the speed of a cylinder is approximately 100 rpm more than the other cylinders, there is probably a complete loss of compression in that cylinder.

INSPECT INJECTOR DRIVER
Even in cases where DTC P062D is not stored even though the engine cannot be started, perform the DTC P062D (No. 1 Fuel Injector Driver Circuit Performance) troubleshooting procedure Click here.
When troubleshooting the injector driver (EDU) system, the source of the malfunction is likely to be in one of the following areas, so be sure to inspect these areas carefully.
Injector driver (EDU) system power source circuit
Injector assembly circuit
Injector driver (EDU)
ECM
Tech Tips
When the engine cannot be started due to a malfunction in the injector driver (EDU) system, once the DTCs are cleared, the system cannot store DTC P062D even if it is confirmed that the engine cannot be started when trying to reproduce the problem symptoms.
As DTC P062D cannot be stored when starting the engine, fuel injection signals are output by the ECM, but fuel is not actually injected. Therefore, an excessive amount of fuel is supplied to the common rail by the fuel supply pump assembly, and as a result, the fuel pressure is higher than the target common rail pressure in the data recorded at the time the engine was having trouble starting.
If the problem cannot be determined even after performing the DTC P062D (No. 1 Fuel Injector Driver Circuit Performance) troubleshooting procedure and the fuel pressure is higher than the target common rail pressure when attempting to start the engine, proceed to the next step.
Perform the troubleshooting procedure for DTC P062D and proceed to the diagnostic flow situations where the engine does not start.
