Introduction

In recent years, electrically controlled fuel injection systems and the latest emission after-treatment
technologies are being rapidly introduced into diesel engines to achieve higher environmental and
driving performance. In line with this trend, a high-level of ability to diagnose faults is required for
service technicians. In addition, concurrent with recent progress in vehicle technology, the function
of diagnostic tools (Intelligent Tester) has also been upgraded, and the diagnostic tool is becoming
essential for the fault diagnosis which can be performed using the tool.

The utilization of diagnostic tools allows service technicians to efficiently perform fault diagnose. This
reduces the vehicle service period and prevents re-service through a proper service, resulting in
increasing customer satisfaction for the services and response quality.

This manual has been developed to cover from the basics of diesel engines to the latest electronic
control technologies and effective diagnostic tool functions and the utilization methods.

Please read the manual carefully to deal with the progressing vehicle technology.

111 Outline of Diesel Engine


●●Diesel engines use diesel fuel (light oil) for running the engine, in which the fuel is self-ignited and
combusted under high temperature and pressure in the combustion chamber by compressing the
intake air, giving a high compression ratio and thermal efficiency. Therefore, diesel engines are
relatively superior to gasoline engines in fuel economy (lower CO2 emissions).
●●The diesel engine uses a self-ignition combustion system, and this allows the combustion to occur
constantly at a high air ratio. In addition, the power output is controlled by adjusting the fuel injection
amount, and which is different from that of gasoline engines.
●● The fuel injected into the combustion chamber is ignited sequentially from a section in which the
combustion conditions (air ratio and temperature) are met in accordance with the injected fuel amount,
regardless of the intake air amount. This is extremely different from gasoline engines, in which the
combustion occurs by igniting the created air-fuel mixture. Therefore, in diesel engines, the control
of the intake air amount is not required to control the output power and the throttle valve is also not
required, thus reducing any pumping loss.

●●By use of the latest engine control technologies such as the common-rail system and improvement in
the emission treatment technologies, emission gases such as PM and NOx, which are considered to
be shortcomings have been reduced while maintaining a low fuel consumption rate, which are seen
as the maximum benefits and the engine output power has been increased, leading to clean and

444 Type of Combustion Chamber


Description

[[[[ General
●●The combustion chamber of a diesel engine is the single most important component for determining
diesel engine performance. Various chamber configurations have been developed an attempt to
enhance diesel engine performance by making sure that the fuel injected into the chamber atomizes,
vaporizes, and mixes evenly with the air: Methods used include using a specially formed intake port
in the cylinder head to generate an air swirl inside the cylinder, or adding an auxiliary combustion
chamber which exploits the gas expansion at the initial ignition stage to help improve the combustion
efficiency. The combustion chambers currently in use on vehicles are:

Direct Combustion
Direct Injection Type
Chambers
Diesel Combustion
Chambers

Auxiliary Combustion
Swirl Chamber Type
Chambers

[[[[ Direct Injection Type


<<<< Outline
●●A main combustion chamber is provided between the cylinder head and the piston, in which the fuel
is directly injected into the combustion chamber from the injection nozzle/injector. Ultra-high pressure
injection via the common-rail system, porous injection nozzle/injector, and specially shaped pistons
are used, as air and fuel are mixed by the fuel injection from the injection nozzle/injector and the
squish on the piston upper face.

<<<< Advantages
●●A direct-injection type combustion chamber has a small surface area, and this reduces thermal loss,
giving a high fuel economy and output power. No pre-heating devices are required when starting the
engine at normal temperature since it has excellent ignition performance.

<<<< Disadvantages
●●A high injection pressure is required to improve fuel atomization, and this requires high strength from

Description
the fuel system.
●●Diesel engines have a high internal combustion pressure, creating a loud combustion noise, and
which is apt to induce knocking in the engine. In comparison with a swirl chamber type, the direct
injection type has a weaker swirling flow, causing the intake air to not be fully utilized, which results in
a lower maximum engine speed.
●●These disadvantages have been improved in engines which employ the common-rail system.

TIP
●●In recent years, diesel engines are equipped with a common-rail system that can inject ultra-highly
pressurized fuel at any time plunger as well as at multiple steps thanks to the electronically controlled
injectors.
●●Use of the common-rail system has allowed diesel engines to improve fuel combustion and achieve
the optimal combustion according to the engine operating conditions. As a result, the common-
rail diesel engines have successfully made the typical problems described earlier less severe to a
considerable extent.

[[[[ Swirl Chamber Type


Description

<<<< Outline
●●Basically, a spherical swirl chamber, which is connected by holes to the main combustion chamber,
is provided. During the compression stroke, air is introduced into the swirl chamber, creating a strong
swirl motion. By injecting the fuel in the swirl chamber, air and fuel are fully mixed and combusted
rapidly, injecting the air-fuel mixture into the main combustion chamber.

<<<< Advantages
●●Air introduced by the swirl motion can be fully utilized, and this increases the maximum engine speed.
In addition, a high injection pressure like in the direct injection type diesel engine is not required, and
which reduces any fault arising from the fuel systems.

<<<< Disadvantages
●●A pre-heating device is required, and knocking is apt to easily occur at low speeds since the cylinder
head has a large surface area.

555 Diesel Engine Combustion

Description
[[[[ Combustion Process
<<<< Outline
●●In gasoline engines, a uniformly premixed air-fuel mixture is combusted. By contrast, in diesel
engines, non-uniformly mixed fuel droplets, vapor and ambient air are combusted.
●●When the fuel is atomized under high temperature air conditions, the fuel in the combustion chamber
is heated and vaporized by the heat of the surrounding chamber, forming a combustion mixture and
igniting a part of the fuel. This rapidly increases the temperature and pressure in the combustion
chamber and causes the remaining fuel to be vaporized, mixed and combusted rapidly.

B→C Flame propagation period (Constant volume combustion period)
C→D Direct combustion period (Constant pressure combustion period)
D→E After burning period (Latter combustion period)

<<<< Ignition delay period (A to B)


●●This covers the period from when the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at point A to
when it is ignited at point B. This is also referred to as the combustion preparation period, in which
the injected fuel droplets are heated and vaporized by the surrounding high temperature air and
compressed air, and the fuel are mixed and heated up to the ignition temperature, forming a mixed
gas. The period is very short, and is governed by the pressure, temperature, fuel particle size,
dispersion state and air swirling state in the combustion chamber. An increase in the internal cylinder
pressure can barely be observed in this period. However, the length of the period strongly affects the
subsequent combustion.

<<<< Flame propagation period (B to C)


●●The ignition starts from the area with the optimum air-fuel ratio in the mixed gas which was generated
and accumulated during the ignition delay period. Subsequently, most of the remaining accumulated
mixed gas is combusted at the same time, increasing the internal cylinder pressure and temperature
instantaneously. The increase in the pressure and temperature at this time is affected by the fuel
amount which was injected during the ignition delay period, swirl motion of the atomized air and the
air-fuel mixture, and the fuel, which was injected at point B, is mostly combusted during this period.

11
1 Diesel Engine
Part 1

<<<< Direct combustion period (C to D)


●●The fuel is injected even after point C shown in the illustration below. However, once the combustion
Description

starts in the cylinder, the internal cylinder pressure and temperature increase dramatically. Therefore,
the fuel which is injected from the injection nozzle/injector is combusted very quickly once they are
mixed. During this period, the internal pressure and temperature can be controlled by adjusting the
fuel injection amount.

<<<< After burning period (D to E)


●●The fuel injection into the cylinder stops at the point D shown in the illustration below. However, large
unburnt fuel droplets and areas that were not fully combusted because the air and fuel were not fully
mixed due to oil particle density at point D are mixed with air, and combusted during the inflation
stroke, from the point D to E.
●●The fuel combustion processes described above are summarized as follows. The ignition delay period
and the flame propagation period can be referred to as a preparation period for the direct combustion
period in other words. To activate the direct combustion period, which is featured by the diesel engine,
it is said that reducing the increase in the pressure during the flame propagation period is preferable.

[[[[ Excess air ratio


●●It is said that an adequate amount of air is necessary to completely burn the fuel through combustion,
and the optimum air-fuel ratio for diesel fuel is 14.3:1. In other words, 14.3kg of air is required to
completely burn 1kg of diesel oil.
●●However, in diesel engines, the mixing time for the air and fuel is very short as the fuel is directly
injected in the combustion chamber, and this causes some air to not fully mix with fuel, leaving the
unmixed air in the chamber. If the theoretically necessary amount of air is not introduced in the
cylinder, only the oxygen around the injected fuel is likely to be combusted, causing a lack of oxygen.
Therefore, more air than the theoretically required amount of air is required to be introduced to
completely combust the injected fuel.
●●The ratio between the actual intake air amount and theoretical air amount necessary for a complete
combustion is called excess air ratio.
●●Generally, the air ratio of the diesel engine is approximately 1.2 to 1.3 at full load (maximum injection
amount) and approximately 3.0 to 4.0 at a low speed and light load (small injection amount).

Actual intake air amount (weight)


Excess air ratio =
Theoretical air amount necessary for complete combustion (weight)

12
1 Diesel Engine

Part 1
[[[[ Exhaust emission characteristics
●●Since diesel engines have the property that the air ratio is higher, thus, even without a catalytic

Description
converter, the emission level of CO and HC is equivalent to that of gasoline engines.
●●However, since NOx reduction devices such as a three-way catalytic converter are unable to be used
due to the high air ratio, the reduction of NOx emissions is not easy to achieve. If the combustion
temperature is decreased by the EGR in order to reduce the NOx emission, the amount of PM
emissions increases.
●●The emission regulation also requires a substantial reduction of those conflicting substances.
●●Therefore, in order to reduce the trade-off NOx and PM emissions, recent diesel engines use the
common-rail system to optimize the fuel injection control, and employ DPF (Diesel Particulate Filer)
and DPNR (Diesel Particulate NOx Reduction System) to enhance the fuel combustion and emission
treatment. (Refer to TOYOTA D-CAT)

<<<< Diesel knock
●●The fuel, which was accumulated during the ignition delay period, burns rapidly in the flame
propagation period, thus, the pressure inside the combustion chamber will rise sharply.
●●The more fuel is injected during the ignition delay period, the larger the extent of the sharp increase
in the combustion chamber internal pressure, and this pressure wave vibrates all parts of the engine,
causing the noise. This is what known as diesel knock, and is unavoidable to a certain extent in diesel
engines due to the spontaneous fuel combustion initiated by self ignition.
●●The possible causes of the diesel knock are; long ignition delay period, low engine temperature, low
intake air temperature, high fuel ignition temperature, early injection timing, or poor fuel atomization.

111 Necessary conditions to run a diesel engine

[[[[ Outline
●●To run the engine efficiently, a fuel system, compression, and glow system play critical roles in diesel
engines, while air-fuel mixtures, sparks and compression are the three important elements to gasoline
engines.

[[[[ Fuel system


●●Diesel engines do not have throttle valves that are used in gasoline engines. The output of a diesel
engine is regulated by the amount of fuel injected, while that of a gasoline engine is regulated with a
throttle valve. In addition, since the combustion begins by injecting fuel, the fuel injection timing is also
regulated. This corresponds to the ignition timing control of a gasoline engine.

Output is regulated by fuel injection volume Fuel injection timing is also regulated

TIP

Currently, throttle valves are provided on a large number of TOYOTA diesel engines. However, these
throttle valves are used to ensure the EGR and reduce white and black smoke, vibrations and noise by
opening/closing the valves in accordance with the engine conditions, not to control the output power as in
gasoline engines.

●●By compressing air, the pressure prepared for the combustion can be increased. This is also applied

to gasoline engines. Additionally, in diesel engines, the intense heat that ignites the fuel is produced
by the compressed air. The compression of diesel engines corresponds to the spark plug firing of
gasoline engines.

●●The glow system is a distinctive device of diesel engines. Diesel engines need to generate sufficient
heat to burn fuel. If an engine is cold, the compression heat is difficult to be obtained, thus, a device

Thus, a self-control system in which the glow plug is equipped with a self-temperature control function
is used.

voltage that is applied to the thermal coil and the heating element that is connected in series to the
control coil. In this manner, the glow plug itself provides the function to reduce its own temperature.

Common-rail Diesel Engine

In this chapter, you will learn about the common-rail system --- leading-edge technology of the electronically
controlled fuel injection system for diesel engines, the relevant electronic control technologies, and the
troubleshooting methods for the components/parts and control systems.

1 3Common-rail Diesel Engine

111 Description
●●The common-rail system is an electronically controlled fuel injection system which has been launched
by Denso for practical use in 1995 for the first time.
●●The common-rail system accumulates high-pressure fuel supplied from the supply pump in the
common-rail and injects the fuel using the electronically controlled injectors.
●●Since the common-rail system can accurately control the fuel injection volume and injection timing via
the ECM, and can maintain a stable injection pressure even when the engine speed is unstable, such
as a low engine speed, the reduction of the diesel engine-specific black smoke and the vibration/
noise resulting from the combustion is possible.
●●Toyota has named the diesel engine system Toyota D-4D (Direct injection 4-stroke common-rail
Diesel engine), in which the common-rail system is combined with the direct injection combustion
chamber that helps minimize heat loss, resulting in good fuel economy and high power output.
●●Toyota D-4D can be divided into 3 major generations depending on the supply pumps and the exhaust
emission treatment methods.

Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Outline
●●The TOYOTA D-CAT has successfully achieved low emissions and good fuel economy simultaneously,
and is the concept engine putting all of Toyota’s modern clean diesel technologies together, and is the
integration of the engine control, combustion control, high-pressure common-rail injection and newly-
developed catalytic converter.
●●Simultaneously, NOx and combustion noise is reduced and CO and HC are emitted instead. The CO
and HC emissions and the exhaust temperature rise due to the reduction in the air volume for making
the air-fuel ratio rich allows the converter bed temperature to be high enough as to keep the catalytic
converter active enough under low load driving conditions.

<<<< Low-temperature Combustion
●●In conventional diesel engines, more smoke is emitted because the increase of EGR causes a
decrease in the oxygen volume. However, adoption of a highly efficient EGR system and further
increase in the amount of EGR by the fuel injection timing control make the air-fuel ratio rich, which
decreases the ambient combustion temperature and drastically decreases the smoke emissions.
●● Simultaneously, NOx and combustion noise is reduced and CO and HC are emitted instead. The CO
and HC emissions and the exhaust temperature rise due to the reduction in the air volume for making
the air-fuel ratio rich allows the converter bed temperature to be high enough as to keep the catalytic
converter active enough under low load driving conditions.

[[[[ Outline
●●The supply pump is a component that pressurizes fuel extremely high (up to 200 MPa) and feeds it to
the common-rail.
●●Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank into the plunger chamber by the built-in feed pump through the
electromagnetic SCV (Suction Control Valve). The fuel in the plunger chamber, where the high-
pressure is generated, is then fed to the common-rail by the plunger.
●●The fuel, which is supplied to the exhaust fuel addition injector of a DPNR and DPF equipped engine*,
is not fed by the plunger, is supplied from the feed pump passing through the flow damper.
●●Supply pumps are generally classified into two groups by the drive system of a plunger, inner cam
type (HP2), or outer cam type (HP3 and HP4).
●●The ECM learns and memorizes the pump discharge volume variances associated with the individual
differences in the supply pumps.

The small displacement engines, which are used on the Yaris and Aygo, use the common-rail and a
supply pump manufactured by Bosch (1ND-TV) or Siemens (2WZ-TV). Similar to the Denso made HP4
supply pump, their supply pumps also regulate the fuel intake with the electromagnetic valve opening
angle, and feed the pressurized fuel using the three opposed-layout plungers driven by the outer cam.

(((( SCV Opening Small


●●When the opening of the SCV is small, the fuel suction area is kept small, which decreases the

transferable fuel quantity.


●●If the plunger strokes fully, however, the suction volume becomes small due to the small suction area.
Therefore, the difference of the volume between the geometry volume and the suction volume is in
the vacuum condition.
●●Pumping will start at the time when the fuel pressure has become higher than the common-rail
pressure.

exhaust fuel addition injector, and incorporates a piston and a spring. The piston is operated by the
fuel pressure, and opens and closes the fuel supply path.
●●The fuel pumped by the feed pump is supplied to the exhaust fuel addition injector flowing through
the flow damper. The built-in spring dampens the pulses that occur when the fuel is supplied.
Furthermore, if the fuel is pressurized abnormally high, that fuel pressure will overcome the spring
force, and as a result, the fuel supply path will be closed by the piston, shutting off the fuel to the
exhaust fuel addition injector.

222 Common-rail
●● The function of the common-rail is to store the fuel that has been pressurized by the supply pump.
Common-rail Diesel Engine

●●Internally, the common-rail contains a main hole and five branch holes that intersect the main hole.
Each branch hole functions as an orifice that dampens the fluctuation of the fuel pressure.
●●The common-rail incorporates either a pressure limiter (mechanical valve) or pressure discharge
valve (electromagnetic valve), and a fuel pressure sensor.
●●The pressure limiter is a mechanical valve that consists of a spring and a valve, and if the common-
rail internal fuel pressure rises abnormally high, it opens the valve to discharge the pressure.
●●The pressure discharge valve is an electromagnetic valve that consists of a solenoid coil, a return
spring, and a plunger. In the pressure discharge valve, the plunger opens and closes in accordance
with the actuation signals from the EDU. Thus, it regulates pressure by releasing excess pressure
from the common-rail. In addition, it has a pressure reduction function in case of emergency.
●●The regulating method for the target common-rail pressure varies depending on the fuel pressure
control valves.

Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Outline
●●There are 2 types of injectors; the fuel injector that injects fuel into the combustion chamber and the
exhaust fuel addition injector that injects fuel into the exhaust port.
●●The fuel injectors atomize the high-pressure fuel accumulated in the common-rail and inject it to the
combustion chamber at the optimum injection timing, injection counts and injection rate in accordance
with the ECM signals. The injectors can be divided into 2 types; the solenoid type and piezo type in
accordance with the valve opening types.
●●The exhaust fuel addition injectors inject the fuel into the exhaust port to raise the catalyst temperature
and conduct the exhaust emission after-treatment. They are provided on the engines with DPNR or
DPF.
●●The fuel injectors have unique injection characteristics and the characteristics should be equalized
to improve the injection accuracy of the common-rail system. The equalization can be performed by
using the compensation resistance or injector compensation value.

111 Mass Air Flow Meter

[[[[ Description
●●The mass air flow meter measures the intake air amount via a platinum hot wire (heater) by passing
air through the sensor.
●●When the intake air amount changes, the bridge circuit for the platinum hot wire (heater) regulates the
current flowing through the hot wire (heater) according to the feedback control in order to maintain
the temperature difference between the temperature sensor and the hot wire (heater) at a constant
level. The current flowing through the hot wire (heater) is converted into voltage, and then output to
the ECM. The ECM calculates the air intake of an engine based on the predetermined relationship
between the output voltage and voltage flow of the mass air flow meter.
●●The ECM uses the output value from the mass air flow meter in the fuel injection volume control and
the EGR control.
●●The air flow meter has a built-in atmospheric temperature sensor.

On new Avensis AD series engines, the output voltage is converted into output frequency by a frequency
conversion circuit inside the mass air flow meter and transmitted to the ECM. By converting the mass air
flow meter output into frequency (frequency range between 250 to 11,000 Hz), a more accurate intake

volume control and fuel injection timing control.

●●The manifold absolute pressure sensor output can be checked easily by the data list functions of
the intelligent tester. When the manifold absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure values
are nearly the same with the ignition switch in the on position and the engine stopped, it can be
determined that the manifold absolute pressure sensor and the atmospheric pressure sensor work
normally. 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.

●●ECM built-in type atmospheric pressure sensor output can be checked easily by the data list
functions of the intelligent tester. When the manifold absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure
values are nearly the same with the ignition switch in the on position and the engine stopped, it can
be determined that the manifold absolute pressure sensor and the atmospheric pressure sensor work
normally. 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 altitude, pressure drops by 1
kPa. Varies by weather.

TOPICS Relationship between Atmospheric Pressure and Altitude

Common-rail Diesel Engine


In our daily lives, we do not feel the weight of air. However, since it is “mass”, air has weight.
A mass volume of air weighs about 1 kg per 1 cm2 around sea level. This is called atmospheric pressure.
Namely, “atmospheric pressure = the pressure caused by the weight of air”.

The standard unit of atmospheric pressure is “hPa* (hectopascal)”, and the standard atmospheric pressure (1
atmospheric pressure) equals 1013.25 hPa.
If translated into a unit available on the intelligent tester, it is about 101 kPa.

* 1hPa = 100Pa =0.1 kPa

Next, we will talk about the relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude.
As explained above, atmospheric pressure is the weight of air. This may prompt you to think: “If we go up to a
higher location, we have less air pushing down from above, and therefore the atmospheric pressure becomes
lower.
That’s right. As illustrated below, the higher in altitude we go, the lower the atmospheric pressure we have.
At up to an altitude of 3000 m, atmospheric pressure decreases by 1 kPa / 0.145 psi (0.01 atmospheric
pressure) every 100 m higher we go.

777 Fuel Pressure Sensor


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●The fuel pressure sensor, which outputs changes in the pressure applied to the built-in silicon chip as
electric signals, detects the fuel pressure in the common-rail.
●●Fuel pressure sensors can be classified into 2 different types; a single element type that has one
sensor circuit and a twin element type that has 2 sensor circuits.
●●As 5 V from the ECM constant-voltage power supply circuit is applied to the sensor, the silicon chip
resistance value varies with the changes in the fuel pressure. This resistance value is output to
the ECM after being converted to voltage by the IC built in the sensor. This signal is input into the
microprocessor after being digitally converted by the ADC in the ECM.
●●The ECM uses the value output from the fuel pressure sensor for the fuel injection volume control and
fuel pressure control.

Single Element Type

Twin Element Type

TIP

The twin element type sensor, which has higher reliability compared to the single element type, is provided
on common rails which are not equipped with the pressure limiter. (The higher output control value is
used.)

When there are any problems in either of the PCR1 or the PCR2 system fuel pressure signal circuit, the
ECM controls the engine using the fuel signal which has no errors. When any signal error is detected in the
single element type fuel pressure sensor, the normal value before error detection (fixed value) will be used to
continue the control.

888 Crankshaft Position Sensor


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●The crankshaft position sensor has a built-in pick-up coil and generates a pulse when the timing rotor
which is attached to the crankshaft rotates and passes through the sensor.
●●The air gap between the projecting portions on the timing rotor and the crankshaft position sensor
varies upon the rotation of the timing rotor. This increases and decreases the magnetic flux passing
through the pick-up coil, generating the electromotive force on the coil. The generated voltage flows
in one direction when the projecting portions on the timing rotor come close to the crankshaft position
sensor, whereas it flows in the opposite direction when the projecting portions on the timing rotor
come away from the coil. The generated pulses are converted into rectangular waves by the input
circuit in the ECM, thus generating the AC voltage.
●●The timing rotor has 34 teeth (arranged at 10 degree intervals) and 2 of them are chipped.
●●The ECM detects the crankshaft angle (top dead center point), cylinder number and engine speed in
accordance with the pulse (Ne signal) from the crankshaft position sensor and the pulse (G signal)
from the camshaft position sensor.

Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●The accelerator pedal position sensor detects the accelerator pedal opening degree using the hall IC,
which can retrieve the magnetic field strength as electric signals using the hall effect.
●●As 5 V from the ECM constant-voltage power supply circuit is applied to the sensor, the magnetic field
angle for the applied current flow inside the hall IC varies in accordance with the accelerator pedal
depression amount, therefore, the applied current and the vertical magnetic field strength vary. Thus,
the changes in the voltage generated perpendicular to the applied current and the magnetic field are
sent to the ECM as accelerator pedal depression amount signals.
●●The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 types of circuits with different characteristics, and the
ECM detects the actual degree of the accelerator pedal and the accelerator pedal position sensor
errors. This allows the detection of the degree of the accelerator pedal depression using signals from

●●The ECM performs the learning of fully closed diesel throttle valve position when the diesel throttle

●●The ECM performs the learning of the fully closed diesel throttle valve position, with the diesel
throttle valve opening degree value when the diesel throttle valve is fully closed set as the Diesel
Throttle Learning Val. When the opening degree value is within the reference values (between 14.25
and 21.25 deg.), the ECM determines that the Diesel Throttle Learn Status is OK and normally
terminates the learning of the fully closed diesel throttle valve position. When the opening degree is
outside the reference values, the ECM terminates the learning of the fully close diesel throttle valve
position and determines that the Diesel Throttle Learn Status is FAIL, with the fully closed diesel
throttle valve at the default value of 21.25 degrees.

* The EGR lift sensor output and the actual EGR valve position values are always opposite when

■■Learning of fully closed EGR valve position


●●The ECM performs the learning of the fully closed EGR valve position, with the EGR valve opening
degree value when the ignition switch is on (when the EGR control is not performed) set as the EGR
Close Learning Val.
●●Learning of the fully closed position can be checked by the 2 data list items, “EGR Close LRN.” and
“EGR Close Learn Val.”, by the data list function of an intelligent tester.
●●The ECM performs the learning of the fully closed EGR valve position, with the EGR valve opening
degree value at the time the ignition switch is on (when the EGR control is not performed) set as the
EGR Close Learn Val., when the opening degree value is within the reference values (between 3.5
and 4.5, reference values for V/AD series engine), the ECM determines that the EGR Close LRN.
Status is OK and terminates the learning of the fully closed EGR valve position normally. When the
opening degree is outside the reference values, the ECM terminates the learning of the fully closed
EGR valve position and determines that the EGR Close LRN. Status is FAIL, with the fully closed
EGR valve position set as the default value 4V or the past opening degree value when operating
normally.

1111 Air-fuel Ratio Sensor


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●The air-fuel ratio sensor is provided at the rear of the DPF catalyst and DPNR catalyst and detects the
air-fuel ratio over the entire range of rich to lean.
●●Approximately 0.4 V (AF+:3.3 V, AF-:2.9 V) is constantly applied to the A/F sensor.
●●The current flow direction and amount vary in accordance with the air-fuel ratio, however, the current
does not flow at the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This current is detected by the current detection
circuit and is input into the microprocessor after digitally converted by the ADC (A/D converter). (The
A/F sensor output can be checked by the converted voltage of 0 to 5 V for the A/F current and the air-
fuel ratio by an intelligent tester.)
●●The A/F sensor is activated only at high temperatures (650 ˚C or higher), therefore, the heater is
precisely controlled while the engine is running to detect a stable air-fuel ratio.
●●The ECM detects the air-fuel ratio on the basis of the current on the AF+ terminal which varies
depending on the magnitude of the electromotive force.

Air-fuel Ratio:
The actual air-fuel ratio is one of the important elements to know about the engine conditions when
searching for the cause of a malfunction in the common rail system. However, any items relevant to the
air-fuel ratio cannot be displayed in the Data List functions of the Intelligent Tester. Obtain the actual air-
fuel ratio from either item: Air fuel ratio fuel trim value (Air ratio) [AF Lambda B1S1] or Air-fuel ratio sensor
output voltage [AFS Voltage B1S1]. Follow the formulas below to obtain the air-fuel ratio.
1. When the value of the AF Lambda B1S1 is less than 1.99 the actual air-fuel ratio can be calculated
by using a formula below.
Actual air-fuel ratio = 14.5 x [AF Lambda B1S1]
Example calculation: if AF Lambda B1S1 is 1.2, actual air-fuel ratio = 14.5 x 1.2 = 17.4
2. When the value of the AF Lambda B1S1 is 1.99 or more, in this case use the following table to
determine the actual air-fuel ratio based on the output voltage of the air-fuel ratio sensor [AFS
Voltage B1S1]. If AFS voltage B1 S1 is 1.1 V, the actual air fuel ratio is around 33 to 34

1111 Exhaust Temperature Sensor


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●Exhaust temperature sensors are provided at the front and rear of the DPF catalyst and the DPNR
catalytic converter.
●●The exhaust temperature sensor has a built-in thermistor, in which its resistance varies depending
on the exhaust gas temperature, and detects the exhaust gas temperature at the front and rear of the
DPF catalytic converter and DPNR catalytic converter. The higher the thermistor resistance is, the
lower the exhaust gas temperature is, and similarly the higher the exhaust gas temperature is, the
lower the thermistor resistance is.
●●As 5 V from the ECM constant-voltage circuit is applied to the sensor through the resistance R, the
voltage of the signal terminal varies in accordance with the sensor resistance value. This signal is
input into the microprocessor after being digitally converted by the ADC in the ECM.
●●The upstream sensor is mainly used to determine an estimated catalyst temperature, injection amount
from the exhaust fuel addition injector and injecting timing, and the downstream sensor is used to
judge the increase in the catalyst temperature (active state of catalyst).
●●The ECM uses the value output from the exhaust temperature sensor for after-treatment control.

The coil is energized by the ECM, and when the electromagnetic force of the coil

●●Since the fuel suction timing (SCV turns ON) is constant due to the crank position sensor signal

(determined by the pump speed), the amount of fuel intake is regulated by the timing of the fuel
suction end (SCV turns OFF). Therefore, the earlier the SCV turns OFF, the smaller the fuel intake
amount becomes, and the later the SCV turns OFF, the larger the fuel intake amount becomes.
●●During the fuel suction process, the plunger moves outward along with the cam face due to the fuel
feeding pressure, however, when the fuel suction ends, the plunger will stop moving at that position.
As the fuel intake amount varies between 0 to 100%, except the situation when the fuel comes in at
the maximum extent, the roller is not coming in contact with the cam face during the period from the
fuel suction end until the fuel feeding start.

222 Pressure Discharge Valve


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●If the fuel pressure inside the common-rail is higher than the target pressure, the pressure discharge
valve is opened while releasing the excess pressure such as during deceleration and engine stop
to return the fuel to the fuel tank using the fuel return pipe. The pressure discharge valve is an
electromagnetic valve that consists of a coil, a spring, and a plunger.
●●When the coil is energized, the plunger is lifted up and the fuel is released to the return pipe. The coil
is energized by the EDU (Electronic Driving Unit) controlled by the drive request signal transmitted
from the ECM. However, for the models with both the pressure limiter and the pressure discharge
valve, the pressure discharge valve is directly connected to the ECM and driven directly.
●●By releasing the excess pressure using the pressure discharge valve, the actual fuel pressure
decrease ability and the adherence to the common-rail target fuel pressure is improved to apply
appropriate injection pressure to the injectors while the engine is running. In addition, if the fuel
pressure inside the common-rail is too high, the ECM sends the valve open signal to the pressure
discharge valve and releases the fuel pressure to protect the system.*
* For models with both the pressure limiter and the pressure discharge valve, the pressure limiter
mechanically releases the pressure if too high.

Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●In order to drive the injectors at high speeds with high voltage and high current, the ECU incorporates
an injector driver equipped with a DC-DC converter that is exclusively used for the injectors. The EDU
converts injection request signals, which are transmitted from the ECM, into injector signals to control
the injectors.
●●Since the EDU generates high voltage and high current, it is separated from the ECM to prevent the
noise affecting the ECM.
●●In engines in which the common-rail has a pressure discharge valve, the EDU drives the pressure
discharge valve and transmits valve drive confirmation signals to the ECM in the same way as the
injectors.

REFERENCE  
●●When the common-rail has both the pressure limiter and the pressure discharge valve, the ECM drives
the pressure discharge valve directly.

[[[[ Operation
●●By receiving the injection timing signal from the ECM, which is calculated based on the sensor
signals, the EDU transmits the injector drive signal to the injectors. In addition, the EDU transmits the
injection confirmation signal, which can be obtained from the current flowing through the injector drive
circuit, to the ECM.
●●The power is not constantly supplied to the positive terminal of an injector, for the duration that the
ECM requests injection, a high voltage is applied. Simultaneously with the power supply activation,
the EDU connects the negative terminal of an injector to the ground, energizing the injector. The EDU
has the high side SW for the injector power control and the driver circuit for the ground control, and
accurately drives the injectors through the controls.
●●The EDU regulates the injector to decrease the injector operation voltage and speed upon receiving
a signal, that indicates idling conditions, from the ECM in order to reduce the injector operation noise
while idling.

reduce smoke emissions. In addition, the swirl control ensures combustion stability while driving with
a large amount of EGR.
●●There are two types of swirl control valves; one that controls vacuum for the vacuum controller in two
stages, open and closed, using one VSV and the other that controls the vacuum in three stages, fully
open, half open and fully closed using two VSVs.

●●In the low engine speed range, the valve is closed and the swirl inside the cylinder becomes stronger
to enhance the mixture of fuel and air in order to achieve stable combustion. As a result, smoke was
reduced. However, when the engine is cold, white smoke is reduced by fully opening the valve and

●●The battery voltage is applied to the coil built into the step motor while the engine is running, and the
ground side of the coil is connected to the ECM. The ECM operates the step motor in incremental
steps by switching the coil ground, to regulate the diesel throttle valve angle.
●●The built-in rotor of the step motor rotates in the normal or reverse direction by an incremental angle
according to the signal transmitted from the ECM to the stator coil. The throttle valve opens or closes
by the angle determined by the motor input speed that is reduced by the drive gear, the ECM drives
the step motor so that the actual step position of the step motor can follow the target step position.

■■Step Motor Movement:


●●The 1-2 phase excitation drive method and the 2-phase excitation drive method are used to operate
the step motor.
●●While the 1-phase excitation rotates the rotor by energizing a coil phase-by-phase, the 2-phase
excitation energizes a coil two-by-two, increasing the torque that rotates the rotor. The 1-2 phase
excitation can halve the amount of rotor rotation per energization by alternating the 1-phase and
2-phase excitations.
●●In accordance with the engine operating conditions, the ECM accurately controls the step motor
with the 1-2 phase excitation or the 2-phase excitation. The step motor is controlled in up to 209
incremental steps (104 steps if only 2-phase excitation), and the throttle valve is controlled in an
operating angle range of 83°(full close at 7°and full open at 90°).

REFERENCE  

■■Accelerator pedal opening degree to calculate the fuel injection volume


Common-rail Diesel Engine

●●Torque control for the cruise control and the VSC are controlled by virtually changing the accelerator
opening degree to calculate the fuel injection volume. The fail-safe torque limit, such as when there is a
malfunction in the system parts, is performed by limiting the accelerator opening degree to calculate the
injection volume.
●●The accelerator pedal opening degree to calculate the fuel injection volume can be checked by the item
“Accel. Position” on the data list.
●●When there are no requests from the cruise control, ETC, or VSC system, or when the acceleration is
not limited by the fail-safe, the “Accel. Position” value varies in proportion to the accelerator depression
amount.
●●If the “Accel. Position” value ranges between 10 and 25% when the MIL illuminates and the accelerator
is fully opened, the acceleration is limited (engine output is limited) by the fail-safe.
●●When the voltage applied to the accelerator is in a normal range (Accel Sensor Out No.1 and No.2), the
accelerator is limited (engine output is limited) by the fail-safe due to a malfunction in other actuators.

Part 2
<<<< Pilot Quantity Learning

Common-rail Diesel Engine


(((( Outline of Pilot Quantity Learning
●●In recent common-rail injection systems, the fuel injection pressure is being progressively increased
to meet engine’s high power output and emission regulations. On the negative side, the fuel injection
volume per valve opening time increases under high-pressure injection conditions, therefore, the
variation in the fuel injection accuracy for each cylinder (variations in the injector open valve accuracy)
causes a big difference in the fuel injection volume.
●●In order to correct differences in the engines (fuel injection systems) and variations in the fuel injection
accuracy for each cylinder, a small amount of fuel is injected at the request of the ECM while the fuel
is not injected for the output control during deceleration, and the actual fuel injection volume from the
injector is estimated based on the fluctuation in the engine speed corresponding to the fuel injection.
The ECM learns the difference between the estimated actual injection volume value and commanded
very small injection volume value and then corrects the actual injection volume, thus equalizing the
fuel injection volume for each cylinder.

(((( Learning Process


●●When the ECM determines a decrease in the engine speed (vehicle speed) which meets a
predetermined condition, a small amount of fuel is injected once and the pulse width for the injection
signal and the fluctuation (angular speed) in the engine speed are detected. The fluctuation in the
engine speed is once converted into torque and then the torque is converted in the fuel injection
volume. The ECM learns the difference between the converted fuel injection volume and the actual
fuel injection volume and applies corrections to each cylinder injection volume.
●●The small injection volume correction control has 2 modes: automatic mode in which the control is
performed while the vehicle is running, and manual mode in which the control is performed using an
intelligent tester.

■■Confirmation of Injection Volume:


●●The fuel system can be easily inspected by checking the injection volume and the injection feedback
value, which are displayed on the data list.
●●When there are significant variations in the fuel injection correction volume for each cylinder “injector
feedback value #”, there may be a malfunction in one or more of the cylinders. The fuel injection
correction volume is used to correct the crankshaft angular speed for each cylinder. Therefore,
it cannot specify that the cylinder of which the correction volume significantly deviates may be a
malfunctioning cylinder, since the correction value may be increased or decreased to correct the
malfunctioning cylinder.
●●In addition, even when there are no extreme variations in the fuel injection correction volume for
each cylinder, if the “Injection Volume” on the data list is extremely high, there may be a malfunction
in the fuel system relating to all the cylinders (including all injectors).

POINT

At this moment, the actual fuel injection volume from the injector cannot be detected and the feedback
cannot be given. The fuel injection correction volume for each cylinder which is displayed using tools
is corrected based on the angular speed at the time of the fuel injection from each cylinder which is
detected from NE signals, therefore, some mechanical or electrical malfunctions may not be able to be
reflected in the volume.

●●The multiple injection control, in which the fuel is injected separately in multiple times (Max.: 5 times)
per cycle, improves fuel combustion in the main injection by injecting a small amount of fuel before
and after the main injection.
●●Aside from the pilot injection (pilot 1), pre-injection (pilot 2), main injection and after injection which
are related to combustion (engine output control), the post injection, which is used for exhaust gas
treatment for engines equipped with DPF or DPNR that is not related to combustion (engine output

<<<< Outline
●●Based on the vehicle driving conditions, intake air amount, and differential pressure sensor outputs,
the amount of PM which has been deposited on the DPF catalyst is calculated, and when the level of
PM deposits exceeds a predetermined level, catalyst regeneration control is conducted.
●●During catalyst regeneration, when the amount of residual PM estimated from the engine operating
conditions and the sensor signals, which are sent by the two exhaust gas temperature sensors fitted
on the catalytic converter, is 0g, or when the differential pressure between the before and after the
catalyst fall below a certain value, the catalyst regeneration control ends.
●●The catalyst regeneration control (converter bed temperature rise) is performed via fuel addition,
where fuel is added to the exhaust system without affecting engine output, and combustion control,
which increases the temperature of the exhaust gas emitted from the engine.
●●Using the temperature rise multiple injection control , the DPF catalyst regeneration control raises the
converter bed temperature to a temperature where fuel can be added into the exhaust system, and
then starts the exhaust fuel addition control, burning PM.
●●During normal engine combustion, when it is determined that the DPF catalyst is clogged with PM,
the ECM increases the converter bed temperature to a temperature where fuel can be added into the
exhaust system via the combustion control (temperature rise multiple injection). After that, fuel will be
added into the exhaust system, and the converter bed temperature will rise to near 600 ˚C where PM
can burn.

Part 2
<<<< Exhaust fuel addition
●●During the catalyst regeneration, a converter bed temperature rise is primarily performed by adding

Common-rail Diesel Engine


fuel to the exhaust system.
●●There are two types of fuel addition methods; one is that fuel is added in accordance with the ECM
injection signal via the exhaust fuel addition injector fitted on the exhaust port of the cylinder, the
other is that a normal fuel injector performs a post fuel injection inside the cylinder (120-150˚ after the
crankshaft compression TDC) in order to add fuel into the exhaust system.
●●The fuel addition amount and timing used in the catalyst regeneration control are calculated in
accordance with the engine operating conditions such as the accelerator pedal position and engine
speed, and are determined after the corrections from the engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and manifold absolute pressure. Also, feedback control is conducted based on the
exhaust gas temperature during the catalyst regeneration. During the catalyst regeneration, when
the exhaust gas temperature is lower than the target, the ECM increases the correction value of
calculated exhaust fuel addition amount, and conversely when it is higher, the ECM reduces the
correction value.

TIP

Common-rail Diesel Engine


●●There are variations depending on the driving conditions, the catalyst regeneration control is
conducted every several hundred kilometers, and a 5-10km distance drive is necessary when the
regeneration control is completed. Under normal driving conditions, the catalyst regeneration control is
automatically conducted when PM has been deposited on the catalyst, so deposits and regeneration
occur alternately. However, when the vehicle is successively driven for only short distance trips, the
catalyst regeneration control may not be fully conducted.
●●The catalyst regeneration control begins when the converter bed temperature is in the normal active
range (more than 200 ˚C) and it is determined that the catalyst is clogged after the engine has warmed
up. If the vehicle is driven and the engine is turned off before the engine has fully warmed up, or the
vehicle is successively driven for short distances in which the catalyst regeneration control is unable to
be completed, PM will continue to be deposited on the catalyst.
●●If the catalyst regeneration control is conducted when a large amount of PM has been deposited,
the heat developed by the PM combustion will exceed the catalyst heat-resistance range, and may
cause the catalyst to melt. Thus, in order to prevent the catalyst from being damaged, the catalyst
regeneration control will not be conducted either when the calculated value of deposited PM amount,
or the signal output from the differential pressure sensor before and after the catalyst, indicates that
the amount of PM deposits exceeds a predetermined level. However, if the catalyst regeneration
control is conducted when the PM deposit amount is around the predetermined level, the catalyst may
be seriously damaged due to heat deterioration.

Exhaust Temperature, represents the conditions of the exhaust fuel addition and PM combustion,
and AF Lambda B1S1 shows the actual air-fuel ratio based on the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio 14.5

FB), to what degree the exhaust fuel addition amount, which is added by the exhaust fuel addition
injector, has been corrected can be checked. The degree of how much PM has been deposited on

[[[[ Description
<<<< Purification Mechanism
●●The DPNR catalytic converter employs an NSR catalyst, which stores and reduces NOx, and a DPNR
catalyst, which oxidizes CO and HC, stores and reduces NOx, and traps and oxidizes PM.
●●NOx contained in the exhaust gas is catalytically reduced and purified as long as the air-fuel ratio
is rich and the exhaust gas temperature is high. During normal combustion where the air-fuel ratio
is lean, NOx is stored in the catalyst. The NOx stored in the catalyst will be reduced and purified by
regulating the air-fuel ratio to rich with the rich spike control that adds fuel in to the exhaust system.
●●The PM contained in the exhaust gas is trapped by the DPNR catalyst, and in addition to that, will be
successively oxidized by the active oxygen that is generated by catalysis while the NOx is stored and
reduced.

<<<< Outline
●●Not only for HC and CO purification, in order to make it possible that NOx and PM are reduced
simultaneously, the after-treatment system conducts the following controls; PM combustion control
[catalyst regeneration control (PM combustion)] that burns PM when the catalyst is determined to be
clogged with PM, NOx reduction control, and sulfur poisoning recovery control [catalyst regeneration
control (S discharge)] that prevents the NOx purification performance from becoming less effective.
●●Similar to the DPF catalyst, when the amount of PM deposits becomes higher than a certain amount,
the catalyst regeneration control (PM combustion) is conducted.
●●In order to periodically discharge the sulfur that was contained in the fuel and oils and has been stored
and deposited on the catalyst, the after-treatment system conducts the catalyst regeneration control (S
discharge) after completion of the catalyst regeneration control (PM combustion) in succession when
the ECM-estimated amount of the sulfur deposited on the catalyst exceeds a predetermined value.
●●In addition to the exhaust fuel addition via the exhaust fuel addition injector provided on the
cylinder head, the catalyst regeneration control is conducted through use of the combustion control
(temperature rise multiple injection, low temperature stoichiometric combustion, and low temperature
lean combustion) that raises the temperature of the exhaust gas emitted from the engine.
●●Furthermore, the NOx stored in the DPNR catalyst is reduced and purified through the following two
controls; rich spike control (that makes the air-fuel ratio richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by
adding fuel into the exhaust system), and combustion control (low temperature lean combustion).

exhaust gas temperature and air-fuel ratio sensor signals during the catalyst regeneration. During the
catalyst regeneration, when the exhaust gas temperature is lower than the target, or the air-fuel ratio
is less lean than the target, the ECM increases the correction value of the calculated exhaust fuel

TIP

Common-rail Diesel Engine


●●There are variations depending on the driving conditions, the catalyst regeneration control (PM
combustion) is conducted per several hundred kilometers, and a 5-10km distance drive is necessary
when the regeneration control is completed. Under the normal driving conditions, the catalyst
regeneration control is automatically conducted when PM has been deposited on the catalyst, so
deposits and regeneration occur alternately. However, when the vehicle is successively driven for a
short distance on one trip, the catalyst regeneration control may not be fully conducted.
●●The catalyst regeneration control (PM combustion) begins when the converter bed temperature is in
the normal active range (more than 200 ˚C) and it is determined that the catalyst is clogged after the
engine has warmed up. If the vehicle is driven and the engine is turned off before the engine has fully
warmed up, or the vehicle is successively driven for a short distance in which the catalyst regeneration
control is unable to be completed, PM will continue to be deposited on the catalyst.
●●If the catalyst regeneration control (PM combustion) is conducted when a large amount of PM has
been deposited, the heat developed by the PM combustion will exceed the catalyst heat-resistance
range, and may cause the catalyst to melt. Thus, in order to prevent the catalyst from being damaged,
the catalyst regeneration control will not be conducted either when the calculated value of deposited
PM amount, or the signal output from the differential pressure sensor, indicates that the amount of PM
deposits exceeds a predetermined level. However, if the catalyst regeneration control is conducted
when the PM deposit amount is around a predetermined level, the catalyst may be seriously damaged
due to heat deterioration.

999 EGR Control


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Description
●●On diesel engines, since the excess air ratio during combustion is high (1.2 to 4.0), a three-way
catalyst that is effective for NOx reduction cannot be used. Therefore, through use of the EGR
system, the exhaust gas is partially taken into the intake side in order to adjust the combustion
conditions to be less efficient to a degree where the driving performance is not affected, and then the
peak combustion temperature is allowed to fall, reducing the amount of NOx. However, when high-
temperature EGR gases are taken the the filling efficiency becomes low, so EGR gases are cooled
by the EGR cooler to increase the EGR amount and reduce the combustion temperature, attempting
further NOx reduction. Also, some vehicles are equipped with a DPNR catalytic converter that is
effective for NOx and PM reduction, reducing NOx using catalysts too.

●●Even if the EGR valve opening degrees are the same, the EGR flow amount varies depending on
the engine load, diesel throttle valve opening degree, and amount of carbon deposited on the EGR
passage. In order to achieve the target EGR flow amount (EGR rate), the ECM calculates the EGR
flow amount by comparing the following values; the fresh air volume from the mass air flow meter,
intake air amount calculated from engine displacement and engine speed, and manifold absolute
pressure signal, and then performs feedback control increasing or reducing the opening degree of the
EGR valve.
●●In addition, to obtain the target EGR flow amount (EGR rate) as accurate as it can be, the EGR
cooperative control in association with diesel throttle control, in which the intake manifold vacuum and
fresh air volume is regulated, is conducted at the same time. (Refer to Diesel Throttle Control - EGR

thus, the intake pipe pressure is basically constant when the engine not turbocharged. When the
EGR valve is opened, the exhaust gas coming through the EGR valve will be taken into the engine,
so the amount of fresh air taken from the air cleaner will decrease, as a result, the intake air amount
detected by the mass air flow meter will be less. The ECM monitors the EGR flow amount by reading

(((( Cooperative Control of EGR


●●By performing the cooperative control of the EGR valve control and the diesel throttle control, the
Common-rail Diesel Engine

optimal EGR rate in the intake air is ensured in accordance with the engine operating conditions. The
EGR rate varies in accordance with the diesel throttle valve opening degree even if the engine speed
and the lift amount of the EGR valve are constant. By monitoring the diesel throttle valve opening
degree by the throttle valve position sensor and performing feedback correction based on that
information, an appropriate valve opening degree and a target EGR rate in the intake air are obtained.
●●The intake air into the cylinder contains fresh air from the air cleaner and EGR gas, however, the
diesel throttle valve opening degree is a crucial element to determine the EGR rate in the amount of
the EGR gas/intake air into the cylinder. This also significantly affects the air-fuel ratio which is used
for combustion control.

■■Effects of Diesel Throttle Valve and EGR Valve Opening Degree


Item Effects
The more the valve is closed, the more the vacuum increases. When
Diesel throttle vale opening degree the EGR valve is open, the EGR rate increases and fresh air rate
decreases.
The more the EGR valve is opened, the more EGR gas enters the
EGR valve opening degree
intake pipe and the lower the vacuum is.
Under the control of the EGR, the MAP pressure decreases due
to a pressure loss in the diesel throttle, however, the decrease in

■■Check of Air Intake Systems (Corrected MAF Value)


●●Carbon deposits or icing in the diesel throttle body may cause the diesel throttle valve to malfunction.
When carbon deposits are visible in the diesel throttle body, the deposits may be formed in the EGR
systems, catalyst or other intake/exhaust air systems. Therefore, troubleshooting the causes of the
deposits must be performed and the areas of depositions must be cleaned. Especially, the carbon
deposition is relatively easily formed when the engine emits black smoke.
●●In the intake air system including the diesel throttle body, black smoke is generated when the intake
air volume deviates from the injection volume due to air leakage or clogging. In this case, calculate a
value at near maximum engine speed at no load (at the cancellation of the EGR) using the following
formula, and narrow down the areas of air leakage by comparing the calculated data with the
reference value.

Corrected MAF Value (Reference values for AD engines)


Calculation formula Reference value
1AD: 95 +/- 5 g/sec
MAF (g/sec) x 4500 / Engine Speed (rpm) x 145 / MAP (kPa)
2AD: 105 +/- 5 g/sec

●●Calculation Ex.: Reference data (for 2AD engines):


●●Engine speed: 4350 rpm, MAP: 142.1 kPa, MAF: 96.7 g/sec
●●96.7 x 4500 / 4350 x 145 / 142.1 = 102.08
●●The calculated value of 102.08 is within standard range of 105 +/- 5 g/sec
●●When the corrected MAF value, calculated by the above formula, is above the reference value, air
leakage may occur between the turbocharger and the intake manifold. When the value is below the
reference value, air leakage may occur between the air cleaner (behind the intake air flow meter) and
the turbocharger.

●●When the vacuum actuator, which is controlled by DUTY control of the E-VRV, is used for the nozzle
vane actuator, the ECM directly drives the E-VRV and controls the nozzle vane position.
●●When the EGR control is performed, the exhaust gas after-treatment control using things such as DPF
or DPNR is changed to an open loop control, in which the feedback is not carried out, to stabilize the
combustion control.

REFERENCE  
●●When running the engine in a high altitude area such as mountains, the boost pressure becomes
hard to raise due to low atmospheric pressure. Therefore, if the atmospheric pressure decreases in
a situation where the target boost pressure value is set to be constant, the turbocharger speed must
be increased by controlling the nozzle vane to closer than normal to make the target boost pressure
equal to the actual target boost pressure. In short, if the atmospheric pressure decreases while the
turbocharger operates at a high rotation speed, this may cause the turbocharger to rotate excessively.
To prevent the turbocharger from overrotating in a low atmospheric pressure, the ECM controls the
nozzle vane position by monitoring the atmospheric pressure correction, mass air flow (MAF) at a low
atmospheric pressure and the engine speed.

111 Exhaust Gas Control System

[[[[ Description
●●The exhaust gas control system closes the valve located downstream of the oxidation catalytic
converter when the engine conditions meet the predetermined conditions while the engine is cold, to
ensure the engine warm-up performance and heater performance.
●●This system consists of an idle-up switch, an exhaust gas control valve, a vacuum actuator that
is linked with the valve, a vacuum switching valve (VSV), and the ECM that controls the vacuum
switching valve.
●●The ECM operates the electronic vacuum switching valve in accordance with the engine operating
conditions and also operates the vacuum actuator that is linked with the exhaust gas control valve.
When the exhaust gas control valve is closed, the engine back pressure becomes larger, and so does
the pumping loss. The loss makes the engine load larger, causing the exhaust temperature to rise. As
a result, time it takes to warm up the engine is reduced.

222 In-Tank Fuel Pump System

Common-rail Diesel Engine


[[[[ Description
●●On the vehicles with a separate fuel sub tank (Land Cruiser Prado for Australia) and with a saddle-
shaped fuel tank (LEXUS IS220d), in order to use the fuel stored in the divided reservoirs equally, an
electric fuel pump provided inside the fuel tank is employed to equalize the amounts of the remaining
fuel. (Fuel transfer mode)
●●Also, vehicles equipped with a saddle-shaped fuel tank (LEXUS IS220d) can operate priming mode,
which is used when air enters between the fuel tank and the supply pump when running out of fuel, by
an electric fuel pump. (Priming mode)
●●The in-tank fuel pump system consists of an electric fuel pump, a jet pump, a fuel pump relay, and the
ECM that drives the relay. Furthermore, on the vehicle models that have priming mode, a fuel route
switching valve and a PCV relay are provided. The PCV relay supplies the power to the fuel route
switching valve.

●●When the fuel remaining in the main fuel tank (main chamber) decreases below a certain amount
(approximately 17.1L), the ECM drives the electric pump until the remaining fuel amount exceeds
the predetermined amount (more than approximately 20.3L). However, this operation will not be

<<<< Fuel transfer mode
(((( General
●●According to the remaining fuel amount calculated from the fuel consumption, the ECM turns on the
relay to drive the fuel pump when the amounts of fuel remaining in the separate reservoirs need to
be equalized. Or, the ECM calculates the difference between the amounts of fuel remaining in the
separate fuel tanks, and when the amount of fuel remaining in the sub fuel tank is larger than that of
the main fuel tank, it drives the pump.
●●The fuel from the fuel pump passes through the orifice inside the jet pump, and returns to the fuel
tank. When the fuel is passing through the orifice of the jet pump, a pressure difference develops
around the orifice outlet port and it sucks the fuel out of the sub fuel tank (sub chamber), and that fuel
is transferred to the main fuel tank (main chamber).

8 11Initialization and Registration

111 Description
●●The sensors and actuators will also change characteristics due to their own individual differences
and age deterioration. The ECM identifies the variations and changes to improve the sensor output
accuracy and actuator operations, correcting them so that the vehicles can provide their best
performance. The ECM judges the results of the actuator drive requests through the sensor signals,
and then corrects the drive requests. Learning values are index parameters that allow the ECM to
judge and correct the actuator drive requests.
●●If the actuator operating conditions have changed significantly due to repair or parts replacement, the
ECM needs to identify the operating conditions of new sensors and actuators, and in order to conduct
appropriate system controls corresponding to the engine operating conditions, some of the stored
system control learning values will need to be manually updated or reset (initialized).
●●If the engine has been operated without necessary learning value updates or initialization, the
amplitude of correction will be extremely large, therefore, the ECM may not be able to recognize the
engine conditions precisely, or may not be able to drive the actuators accurately. Depending on the
parts that are repaired or replaced, usually, the following operations are necessary: Learning sensor
output individual differences, or transmitting stored leaning value data; Learning actuator individual
differences, initializing learned values, or registering actuators; Transmitting stored learning value
data from old ECMs.

222 Injection Volume Compensation


Common-rail Diesel Engine

[[[[ Outline
●●The injectors have their own individual injection characteristics. To correct the injection characteristics,
the ECM finely regulates the injection durations of each injector through use of the compensation
resistors or compensations codes.
●●Each injector injection characteristics are identified through the amount of fuel injected at a specified
point that is determined from the common-rail pressure and injection duration. When the ECM
recognizes the compensation resistor or code preset in an injector itself, the injection volume of that
injector can be corrected.
●●The injection volume of an injector with a compensation resistor is corrected at between 2 to 4 points,
and for an injector with a compensation code, the injection volume is corrected at between 10 to
12 points. These correction points are determined through the common-rail pressure and injection
duration.

Check the Cylinder Compression:
When performing the Active Test item “Check the Cylinder Compression” and then cranking the engine, the
ECM stops the fuel injection, and measures the engine speed for each cylinder.
If one cylinder’s speed is higher than the others, that cylinder’s compression pressure can be concluded to
be lower than the others.
111 Warm up the engine.
222 Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

333 System Check Function“ Pressure Discharge Valve Check” (applicable to


some engines since September 2008)
Effective Use of Intelligent Tester

[[[[ Outline of Pressure Discharge Valve Check


●●“Pressure Discharge Valve Check” in the System Check is used to diagnose the fuel pressure control
and improper combustion.
●●Malfunctions can be determined by checking the fuel pressure when performing a fuel cut and
operating the pressure discharge valve with the intelligent tester.
●●During “Pressure Discharge Valve Check”, the intelligent tester measures the fuel pressure while the
engine is running, after the engine is stopped, and after the pressure discharge valve operates.

[[[[ Conducting Pressure Discharge Valve Check


●●Enter the menu options in this order: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Pressure Discharge Valve
Check.
●●Unless all the following conditions are met, the Pressure Discharge Valve Check cannot be
performed.
●●Vehicle is stopped.
●●Fuel pressure is less than 100000 kPa.
●●Fuel pressure sensor is normal.
●●Battery voltage is more than 8V.
●●There are two types of Pressure Discharge Valve Check as follows. Select either of them, and then
press Next.
●●“Close to Open Check” opens the pressure discharge valve after the engine stops.
●●“Always Closed Check” holds the pressure discharge valve closed during the check.

Example:

discharge valve is closed while the engine is running and after the engine is stopped, and if the value
is 0 kPa when the pressure discharge valve is open, the system is normal.
●●Perform “Always Closed Check” if the value is not 0 kPa when the pressure discharge valve is open
during “Close to Open Check”. If the results are the same as during “Close to Open Check”, there is a
pressure discharge valve operation malfunction.
●●If the fuel temperature is high, perform “Pressure Discharge Valve Check” after the fuel has cooled to
the outside air temperature.
●●If a large amount of fuel is leaking, the fuel pressure decreases when the engine is stopped. However,
the condition of the pressure discharge valve can still be determined by comparing the measurement
results of “Close to Open Check” and “Always Closed Check”.
