ECD SYSTEM (for CCo) Engine Knocking or Rattling

DESCRIPTION

Malfunction Condition Main Trouble Area Related Trouble Area

Combustion in diesel engines takes place by means of self-ignition. If the timing of the ignition is delayed, the pressure inside the combustion chamber will increase too fast, which leads to uncontrolled combustion and can be heard as diesel knocking.

If any of the following conditions are met, engine knocking may occur due to the fact that


  • The diesel fuel self-ignition timing takes place too late

  • The engine temperature is low

  • The intake air temperature is low

  • The self-ignition temperature of the diesel fuel is high (e.g., low cetane number)

  • Fuel is injected into a cold combustion chamber (compression temperature is too low)

  • There is inadequate fuel vaporization (air-fuel mixture formation is unsatisfactory)

  • There is pilot injection deterioration due to an injector sticking or contamination

    • Fuel injector sliding malfunction

    • Fuel injector stuck closed

    • Fuel injector stuck open

    • Deposits in fuel injector

    • Fuel injector circuit malfunction

      Data List

      Actual EGR Valve Pos., Target EGR Pos.


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

      • Using EGR valve Active Test, check whether Actual EGR Valve Pos. follows Target EGR 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 turned to ON (engine stopped).

  2. Data List Related to Knocking

    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, atmospheric pressure etc.). Therefore, use these values for reference only.


    1. Engine Control

      Engine Speed
      Data List Judgment of 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.
      MAP
      Data List Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      MAP
      • When MAP is low, there will be difficulty starting.

      • With ignition switch ON or during idling, MAP is nearly equal to Atmosphere Pressure (standard atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa).

      When MAP is low, the following conditions are possible:


      • Diesel throttle nearly fully closed.

      • Intake system blocked (turbocharger system also).

      • Exhaust system blocked.


      • When the ignition switch to ON or the vehicle is idling, MAP (intake manifold absolute pressure) and Atmosphere Pressure are approximately equal (standard atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa).

        Above approx. 1500 rpm, the turbo becomes effective, and the pressure becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.

      • Inspect while comparing with "Target Booster Pressure".

      • With the accelerator fully open, if the actual Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) is low compared to the target booster pressure by at least 20 kPa for 5 seconds or more, a feeling of insufficient power will occur.

      Results of real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 100 kPa

      • Cranking: 99 kPa

      Results of real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 0 g/sec.

      • Cranking: 4.04 g/sec.

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 8.21 g/sec. (2 minutes after starting the vehicle)

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 41 g/sec.

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 74 g/sec.

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 119 g/sec.

      Intake Air
      Data List Judgment of 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 Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Coolant Temp
      • Engine coolant temperature is approximately equal to intake air temperature after leaving 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 Judgment of 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.

      • With this Active Test, the fuel injection is stopped.

      • 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 Judgment of 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 real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 36000 kPa

      • Cranking: 40000 kPa

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 32000 kPa (2 minutes after starting the vehicle)

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 41410 kPa

      • Running without load (3500 rpm): 70140 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 149780 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 184720 kPa

      Fuel Press
      Data List Judgment of 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 real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 0 kPa

      • Cranking: 19350 kPa

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 32000 kPa (2 minutes after starting the vehicle)

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 39920 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 146600 kPa

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 176230 kPa

      Target Pump SCV Current
      Data List Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Target Pump SCV Current Idling after warming up: roughly 923 to 1123 mA. When this value is large, the pump is trying to increase the fuel discharge rate.
      • With this data, component fault not specified, use this data as a reference.

      • If the current is 3000 mA or more, there is a possibility the suction control valve is stuck.


      • ECU-calculated value for the suction control valve actuation target current.


      • Value is large when a high fuel pressure is desired.

      • When this deviates from the standard value, it indicates that for some reason, even though the pump is running hard, the actual fuel pressure is inconsistent with the target fuel pressure.

      Results of real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 998.7 mA

      • Cranking: 1165 mA

      • Running without load (2500 rpm): 1018 mA

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 2000 rpm: 1205 mA

      Injection Feedback Val #1 (to #4)
      Data List Judgment of 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 Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note

      • Driving with the accelerator fully open at 3000 rpm: 157 μs

      Main Injection Period
      Tester Display Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Main Injection Period - -
      • When the fuel pressure becomes 15000 kPa or less, "Main Injection Period" is set to 0.

      • When the engine will not start, confirm that injection is performed.

      • When P0093, P0627 or P062D is stored, there is an engine stall request. At that time, "Main Injection Period" equals 0.

        Tech Tips

        As the engine stalls 1 minute after the MIL illuminates, freeze frame data cannot be checked.

      Data List Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      Actual Throttle Position
      • When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine stopped), the diesel throttle is fully open. When the ignition switch is turned from ON to off, the diesel throttle is fully closed temporarily.

      • With the diesel throttle stuck almost fully closed, there is a possibility of rough idling, engine stall, black smoke, difficulty starting and lack of power.

      Diesel throttle body

      Actual Throttle Position is the closing percentage of the throttle valve.


      • Fully closed: 100%

      • The EGR valve Active Test can be used to check whether the Actual EGR Valve Pos. = Target EGR Pos.

      EGR valve assembly
      • Inspect while comparing to "Target EGR Valve Pos.".

      • Sometimes the malfunction only occurs around a certain temperature, so refer to the engine coolant temperature and outside temperature at the time the malfunction occurred.

      Results of real-vehicle check:


      • Ignition switch ON: 0%

      • Cranking: 0%

      • Idling (warm up the engine): 35%

      EGR Close Lrn. Status
      Data List Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      EGR Close Lrn. Status
      • "OK" means the fully closed position learning has completed normally.

      • When NG, the learned fully closed position may be outside of the normal range.

      - After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cable, if the ignition switch has not been turned off once, learning may not be completed.
      EGR Close Lrn. Val.
      Data List Judgment of Data List Values Faulty Component Diagnosis Note
      EGR Close Lrn. Val. When leaving the vehicle idling, with the EGR Close Lrn. Status OK, the normal range of EGR Close Lrn. Val. is within 0.34 to 0.70 V. In cases when EGR Close Lrn. Status is NG or EGR Close Lrn. Val. is at the maximum or minimum (0.34 to 0.70 V) of the normal range, it is possible that the EGR valve is not completely closed or a foreign object is lodged in the EGR valve seat area. -
      • This value is the EGR position sensor output voltage.

      • As the maximum and minimum settings are 0.34 V and 0.70 V, if the value becomes stuck at either of these, there is a malfunction in the lift sensor or the valve position is shifted (due to foreign matter, etc.).

  • After replacing a fuel injector, the ECM needs registration Click here.

Tech Tips


  • This troubleshooting procedure checks for knocking and rattling.

  • Knocking is most likely to occur while the engine is idling.


  1. Explanation of Symptom

    Engine knocking or rattling

    Combustion in diesel engines takes place by means of self-ignition. If the timing of the ignition is delayed, the pressure inside the combustion chamber will increase too fast, which leads to uncontrolled combustion and can be heard as diesel knocking.

    If one of the following conditions is met, engine knocking may occur due to the fact that


    • The diesel fuel self ignition timing takes place too late

    • The engine temperature is low

      OK
      The difference between the target fuel pressure and the actual fuel pressure 2 seconds after the Active Test starts is less than 10000 kPa.

      Tech Tips


      • Target Common Rail Pressure means the target fuel pressure controlled by the ECM.

      • Fuel Press means the actual fuel pressure.

      • If the pressure discharge valve mounted on the common rail is malfunctioning, the actual fuel pressure will change as indicated by "Pressure Discharge Valve Malfunctioning" in the illustration.

      • If the pump is controlled using the Active Test "Test the Fuel Leak", when the Active Test is stopped, the actual fuel pressure may drop below the target common rail pressure, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

    6. Read the value of Target Pump SCV Current in the Data List when the "Test the Fuel Leak" Active Test is performed.

      Standard
      Target Pump SCV Current is between 800 mA and 3000 mA.

      Tech Tips

      If the value of Target Pump SCV Current stored in the snapshot is higher than the standard, the intermittent suction control valve is probably stuck.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Both results are within standard A
