A No. 2 EGR valve assembly (EGR cooler bypass switching valve) is used. If EGR gas is cooled down in the EGR cooler with light engine load and low engine coolant temperature, compression air temperature decreases. To prevent this, the EGR gas passage is switched by the EGR cooler bypass switching valve. The EGR passage is switched in 2 stages.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor (Models Compliant with EURO 5 Emission Regulations)
The planar type air fuel ratio sensor is used.
The planar type air fuel ratio sensor uses alumina, which excels in heat conductivity and insulation, to integrate the sensor element with the heater, thus improving the warm-up performance of the sensor.
This sensor is based on a sensor developed for gasoline engines. The cover has been changed for diesel engine application in order to eliminate the influences of the sensor temperature and the PM. This sensor, which is mounted after the DPF catalyst, detects the air fuel ratio after the gas has been reduced.

The air fuel ratio sensor data is approximately proportional to the existing air fuel ratio. The air fuel ratio sensor converts the oxygen density to the current and sends it to the ECM.
As a result, the detection precision of the air fuel ratio has been improved. The air fuel ratio sensor data can be read using an intelligent tester II.

On the models compliant with EURO 4 and EURO 2 emission regulations, EGR system carries out the following controls:
By sensing the engine driving conditions and actual amount of EGR valve opening, the ECM electrically operates the E-VRV (for EGR valve control) and VSV (for EGR valve close)*, which control the magnitude of vacuum introduced into the diaphragm of the electric EGR control valve assembly. In addition, the ECM controls the diesel throttle valve opening position using the throttle control motor. As a result, the amount of recirculating exhaust gas is regulated. EGR valve opening lift is controlled by modulated negative pressure.
*: Models compliant with EURO 4 emission regulations and models compliant with EURO 2 emission regulations with variable nozzle vane type turbocharger
On the models compliant with EURO 4 emission regulations and models compliant with EURO 2 emission regulations with variable nozzle vane type turbocharger, the VSV (for EGR valve close) is activated when the EGR control is stopped, in order to introduce the atmospheric pressure to the diaphragm of electric EGR control valve assembly and improve EGR valve closure response to maintain driveability.

Catalyst Support Control (Models Compliant with EURO 5 Emission Regulations)
If the DPF catalyst temperature is high under normal driving conditions, PM captured by the DPF catalyst is oxidized by the temperature of the DPF catalyst and is emitted as CO2and H2O.
If the DPF catalyst temperature becomes low, catalyst performance decreases, resulting in an increase of the amount of PM stuck in the filter substrate. The ECM detects that the filter substrate is clogged by calculating the accumulated volume of the PM discharged by the engine. To reduce PM, the ECM controls the injection timing and the injection frequency of the injectors, and activates the exhaust fuel addition injector. At the same time, ECM controls the engine speed and glow plug assembly temperature via the glow plug controller.
As a result, filter substrate temperature becomes high and PM reacts with active oxygen and changes into CO2for purification. This is known as catalyst support control.
When PM has accumulated in the DPF catalyst while driving normally, the ECM automatically performs catalyst support control.
However, sufficient purification of the PM by the catalyst support control may not be possible when driving repeatedly over short distances. As a result, the PM accumulation limit may be surpassed. If a predetermined level of PM accumulation has been surpassed, the DPF indicator in the combination meter is illuminated. This prompts the driver to drive at a constant speed (60 km/h or more) for automatic catalyst support control to be carried out.
In addition, if the driver keeps driving without driving at a constant speed (60 km/h or more), the DPF indicator blinks when a predetermined level of PM accumulation is surpassed. This prompts the driver to bring the vehicle to a dealer for manual catalyst support control to be carried out.
Moreover, if the driver keeps driving without bringing the vehicle to a dealer, PM accumulates further. In this situation, if the catalyst support control is conducted, the DPF catalyst could be destroyed. To prevent this, the MIL will be illuminated when a predetermined driving distance is reached. At the same time, the ECM changes the engine control to the fail-safe mode, thus controlling the amount of fuel injection to a minimum.

Tech Tips
When replacing the front exhaust pipe with a new one, it is necessary to perform initialization of the DPF catalyst deteriorate data history in the ECM by using an intelligent tester II.
When replacing the ECM with a new one, it is necessary to read DPF catalyst deteriorate data history from the installed ECM and then transfer that data history to the new ECM by using an intelligent tester II. When the DPF catalyst deteriorate data history is not transferred, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1601 is stored in the ECM, and the MIL comes on.
When replacing both the front exhaust pipe and the ECM, it is necessary to perform initialization of the DPF catalyst deteriorate data history in the ECM using an intelligent tester II. When DPF catalyst deteriorate history initialization is not performed, DTC P1601 is stored in the ECM and the MIL comes on.
A DPF switch for the manual catalyst support control is provided as optional equipment. The manual catalyst support control methods differ with provision of the DPF switch. For details of catalyst support control, refer to the corresponding Repair Manual.
