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'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).

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. |

PROCEDURE
READ OUTPUT DTC (RELATING TO ENGINE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the pending DTCs.

TAKE SNAPSHOT DURING IDLING AND 4000 RPM (PROCEDURE 2)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Lack of power.
With no load after the engine is warmed up, take a snapshot when idling and at 4000 rpm.
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 shift lever should be in neutral and the A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

CHECK SNAPSHOT (MAP)
Check MAP in the snapshot taken in procedure 2 when the engine was running at 4000 rpm with no load.
| Result | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
The above values were measured under standard atmospheric pressure. The values are influenced by elevation, weather conditions, etc.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.
*1: There may be a problem in the turbocharger (waste gate valve) or fuel system.
*2: There may be a problem in the turbocharger system.
*3: There may be a problem in the intake system.

| Atmosphere Pressure |
| MAP |
Compare MAP to Atmosphere Pressure when the ignition switch is ON (do not start the engine).
| Standard |
|---|
| Difference between MAP and Atmosphere Pressure is less than 8 kPa. |
Tech Tips
If MAP and Atmosphere Pressure have the same value, both are normal. If there is a difference of 8 kPa or more, compare the values to the atmospheric pressure for that day. The sensor whose deviation is the greatest is malfunctioning.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.

CHECK SNAPSHOT (COMMON RAIL PRESSURE, TARGET COMMON RAIL PRESSURE AND MAP)

| Result | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
The above values are applicable under standard atmospheric pressure. The values are influenced by elevation, weather conditions, etc.
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.
The engine speed must be 1500 rpm or less before performing the inspection in which the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and the engine is accelerated to a speed of 3000 rpm.
If "Fuel pressure" follows "Target common rail pressure" during idling or low speed driving but is insufficient during acceleration or high speed driving, the fuel filter may be clogged.

When replacing the injector assembly for a cylinder, always be sure to use a new injection pipe.
Follow the procedure in the repair manual and temporarily install the injection pipes and nozzle leakage pipe, and then correctly position the injector assemblies. After that, tighten parts according to the torque specifications.
If the installation procedure is not performed correctly, injector assemblies may become out of position, which may cause the injector assemblies to deteriorate, resulting in malfunctions.
If an injector assembly deteriorates and malfunctions, other problems such as knocking, rough idle, etc. may occur.
If an injector assembly becomes out of position, it is possible that the seal between the injector assembly and injection pipe may become incomplete, resulting in a fuel leak.
