  2. SYSTEM CONTROL


    1. The engine control system of the 2WW engine has the following systems:

      System Outline
      Fuel Injection Control Based on the signals received from the sensors, the ECM determines the fuel injection volume and fuel injection timing in accordance with the engine condition.
      Fuel Pressure Control Based on the signals received from the fuel pressure sensor, the ECM controls fuel pressure using the fuel quantity control valve and pressure discharge valve in accordance with engine operating conditions. For details of the fuel quantity control valve operation, see the 2WW Fuel section.
      Fuel Pump Control Fuel pump operation is controlled by signals from the ECM in order to feed fuel to the supply pump.
      Glow Plug Control
      • The ECM sends signals to the glow plug controller in accordance with engine conditions. Based on the signals, the glow plug controller controls the length of time for which the current is applied to the glow plug assemblies in each cylinder.

      • Detects individual disconnections of circuit wires and short circuits by the use of the glow plug controller.

      Diesel Throttle Control
      • Controls the diesel throttle valve opening angle in accordance with the engine condition.

      • Fully closes the diesel throttle valve in order to reduce vibration when the engine is stopped.

      Fuel Heater Control Based on the signals received from the pre-fuel pressure and pre-fuel temperature sensors in the fuel filter, the ECM controls the fuel heater.
      Swirl Control Based on the signals received from the sensors, the ECM controls the actuator (for swirl control), in order to open and close the valve.
      Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Heater Control The ECM controls the air fuel ratio sensor heater according to the engine condition in order to promote the warm-up of the air fuel ratio sensor.
      Turbocharger Control Based on the signals received from the sensors, the ECM controls the actuator in accordance with the engine condition.
      Cooling Fan Control
      • Cooling fan operation is controlled by signals from the ECM based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning condition, engine speed and vehicle speed.

      • After the engine is stopped (the ignition switch is off*1 or the engine switch is off*2), the ECM operates the cooling fan according to the driving conditions and engine condition.

      Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Control
      • Based on the signals received from the sensors, the ECM determines the EGR volume via the EGR valve and EGR cooler bypass switching valve in accordance with the engine condition.

      • For details, see the 2WW Emission Control section.

      Catalyst Regeneration Control
      • The ECM judges the NSR catalyst condition based on the fuel injection volume, intake air mass, and exhaust gas temperature to control the injector assemblies for NSR catalyst regeneration control.

      • For details, see the 2WW Emission Control section.


      • The ECM judges the DPF catalyst condition based on signals from the exhaust gas temperature sensor, differential pressure sensor assembly and air fuel ratio sensor to control the throttle control motor and injector assemblies for DPF catalyst regeneration control.

      • For details, see the 2WW Emission Control section.

      Starter Control*2
      • Once the engine switch is pushed, this control continues to operate the starter until the engine is started. For details, see the 2WW Starting section.

      • For details, see the 2WW Starting section.

      Air Conditioning Cut-off Control This control turns the air conditioning compressor on or off in accordance with the engine condition to maintain driveability.
      Engine Immobiliser Prohibits fuel injection if an attempt is made to start the engine with an invalid key.
      Oil Maintenance Management System
      • The oil maintenance information message is shown on the multi-information display according to the vehicle condition to inform the driver.

      • Remaining oil maintenance mileage is shown on the multi-information display to inform the driver.

      • For details, see the Meter / Gauge / Display section.

      Brake Override System The driving torque is restricted when both the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed. (For the activation conditions and inspection method, refer to the Repair Manual.)
      Diagnosis When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM diagnoses and memorizes the failed section.
      Fail-safe When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops or controls the engine in accordance with the data already stored in the memory.
