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's age. Do not judge the vehicle to be normal even when the Data List values indicate a standard level. There are possibly some concealed factors causing the malfunction.
Check that the vehicle has not been modified in any way prior to the vehicle inspection.
This troubleshooting procedure checks for the cause of an obvious lack of engine power while the vehicle is being driven (such as the maximum speed being extremely low).

Table 2. Intake System Symptom and Corresponding Main Fault
Lack of power (no black smoke) due to air filter blockage or crushed or leaking air duct
Black smoke (no lack of power) due to leakage between the turbo and intake manifold
Data List
MAP
Target Booster Pressure
When the accelerator is fully depressed, if MAP is 20 kPa lower than Target Booster Pressure for more than 5 seconds, then a lack of power will be felt.
MAF
Table 3. Turbocharger System Main fault
Air leak in the turbocharged air passage
Turbocharger sub-assembly (turbine, bearing, variable nozzle)
Symptoms
Lack of power (when vehicle is starting, under heavy load)
(Black smoke is not emitted when racing while vehicle is stopped)
Data List
MAP, Target Booster Pressure
When the accelerator is fully depressed, if MAP is 20 kPa lower than Target Booster Pressure for more than 5 seconds, then a lack of power will be felt.
With the ignition switch ON or during idling, MAP = atmospheric pressure (standard atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa). When the engine speed is about 1500 rpm or more, the turbocharger starts to take effect and MAP becomes higher than atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure decreases by 1 kPa each time elevation increases by 100 m, and is also affected by the current weather conditions.

Common Rail (ALL)
Table 8. Supply Pump Assembly Main fault
-
Symptoms
Difficult to start, engine stalling, rough idle, lack of power
Data List
Fuel Press, Target Common Rail Pressure, Target Pump SCV Current
Fuel Press is within 5000 kPa of Target Common Rail Pressure during idling with the engine warmed up (engine coolant temperature is higher than 70°C (158°F)).
If the fuel pressure is 20000 kPa below the target pressure, then a lack of power will be felt.
If the fuel pressure is below 25000 kPa, then idling will be rough.
If Target Pump SCV Current is 3000 mA or higher, the suction control valve may be stuck.
Tip:The fuel pressure changes at engine start, but is approx. 25000 kPa at engine start after the engine is warmed up.
When Target Pump SCV Current is 3000 mA or higher, the suction control valve has a tendency to become stuck.
Diagnostic Trouble Code

Diesel EGR
Table 14. EGR System Main fault
Does not move smoothly
Does not close fully
Symptoms
Rough idle
EGR valve stuck closed: A loud turbocharger sound.
EGR valve stuck open: Difficult to start (does not stall), black smoke, white smoke (when engine is cold), lack of power, jerking (If there is an excess in the quantity of EGR and there is a heavy load, when the vehicle starts moving, a lack of power will be felt. Also, when racing the engine, there will be some black smoke).
Data List
Actual EGR Valve Pos., Target EGR Position
Generally, Actual EGR Valve Pos. = Target EGR Position +/-5% (fully closed: 0%, fully open: 100%).
Using the EGR valve Active Test, check whether Actual EGR Valve Pos. follows Target EGR Position (the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature should be considered when a malfunction occurs).
EGR valve is fully closed when the ignition switch ON (engine stopped).
EGR valve opens to the halfway point at idling after the engine is warmed up.
When the EGR valve does not close, mass air flow decreases when the vehicle is accelerated at full throttle. Manifold absolute pressure also decreases in comparison to Target Booster Pressure, however there is not a large difference.
EGR Close Lrn. Val., EGR Close Lrn. Status
When leaving the vehicle idling, when EGR Close Lrn. Status is OK, the normal range of EGR Close Lrn. Val. is 0 to 1 V.
In cases when EGR Close Lrn. Status. is NG or EGR Close Lrn. Val. is out of the normal range (0 to 1 V), it is possible that the EGR valve cannot completely close.
Diesel Throttle
Table 15. Diesel Throttle System Main fault
Stuck, does not move smoothly
Symptoms
Stuck closed: Lack of power, difficult to start, rough idle, engine stall, black smoke. These may occur when stuck almost fully closed.
Stuck open: Turbocharger sound increases. When the engine is stopped, engine vibrations may occur.
Data List
Actual Throttle Position
0%: Fully open
100%: Fully closed
When the ignition switch ON (engine stopped), the diesel throttle is fully open. When idling, the diesel throttle is at the halfway point. When the ignition switch is turned from ON to off, the throttle is fully closed temporarily.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Explanation of Symptom
Lack of Power |
The power of the diesel engine is determined by the quantity of injected fuel and the quantity of intake air. The quantity of injected fuel is determined by the fuel pressure and the amount of time the injector assembly is open. Basically, the fuel pressure is controlled so that it reaches the target fuel pressure. The throttle valve does not restrict air flow volume, so the manifold absolute pressure is almost the same as atmospheric pressure when idling. At more than approximately 1500 rpm, the turbo starts to operate causing the manifold absolute pressure to become higher than atmospheric pressure. The manifold absolute pressure is controlled so that it reaches the Target Booster Pressure when accelerating the vehicle at full throttle. Also, when accelerating the vehicle at full throttle, the throttle is fully open and the EGR valve is fully closed, preserving the mass air flow. |
