The VP44 fuel injection pump has a pump control unit (PSG: Pumpen Steuer Great) fitted on top of it,
that exchanges information with the engine control module (ECM) via CAN-bus.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the desired fuel quantity and fuel injection timing and
sends this information to the pump control unit (PSG).
This pump control unit then actuates the internal actuators accordingly.
The engine control module (ECM) is located inside of instrument panel just at the back of the radio
compartment.
The fuel quantity and injection timing related functions are controlled by the pump control unit (PSG).
The engine control module (ECM) performs the following functions.
-Control of the exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR)
-Control of the quick on start (QOS) glow control system
-Control of the A/C compressor
-Control of the quick warm-up system (QWS)
-Control of the exhaust brake

TIS200 Screen
The engine control module (ECM) of the 4JH1-TC engine is equipped with a flash EEPROM.
This memory has the capacity to be erased and programmed with a relative low voltage (battery
voltage).
This feature enables the service personnel to program new calibration software into an existing engine
control module (ECM) and programs a new engine control module (ECM) by using the following
hardware.
-Tech2
-Hardware Key
-PC with TIS2000 installed
The application to perform this action is called SPS (service programming system).
SPS is the software re-calibration system for engine control module (ECM).
This system can update the current module by downloading a new calibration from TIS2000 into the
Tech2, which then can be uploaded into a control unit of the vehicle.
This SPS provides the following benefits.
-Not necessary to purchase a new control module.
-Save a lot of time to repair. The repair time depends highly on the availability of parts.
-The customer satisfaction can be improved because of much shorter repair time.
-Parts on stock maintain useable because SPS can change the control module on the shelf to new
control module with new software.

The radial plunger distributor type injection pump uses two control modules to execute full control of
the engine management system.
-Engine Control Module (ECM)
-Pump Control Unit (PSG) = Pumpen Steuer Great (German)
The pump control unit (PSG) receives signals from the sensors inside the pump to determine the cam
ring rotation angle, the pump speed and the fuel temperature .
These values are then compared to the desired values sent by the engine control module (ECM) such
as the desired injection timing and the desired fuel injection quantity.
The engine control module (ECM) processes all engine data and data regarding the surrounding
environment received from external sensors to perform any engine side adjustments.
Maps for both are encoded in both control units. The control units input circuit process sensor data.
A Microprocessor then determines the operating conditions and calculates set values for optimum
running.
The interchange of data between the engine control module (ECM) and the pump control unit (PSG) is
performed via a CAN-bus system. The abbreviation CAN stands for Controller Area Network. By
having two separate control modules, the high pressure solenoid valve. This prevents the discharge of
any disturbing signals.
The information exchange between the two control modules takes place via two means.
-Via analogue signal leads
-Via the CAN-bus
The analogue signal leads are used to exchange the following information.
-Engine speed signal (ECM terminal 91)
-Pump Speed (ECM terminal 105)
-Fuel Cutoff solenoid valve signal (MAB signal) (ECM terminal 105)
TDC Signal
(ECM to PSG)
CH2 0V
The engine speed signal is sent from the ECM to PSG based on the input from the crank shaft
position (CKP) sensor.
The analogue CKP sensor signal is converted by the ECM into a square wave signal.
The fuel cutoff solenoid valve signal is also referred to as MAB signal.
MAB in this case, refers to the German abbreviation Magnet ventil ABschaltung that stands for high
pressure solenoid valve cut off.
The MAB signal wire is used for two purposes.
-As a reference for the engine control module (ECM) for the pump speed (back up for the CKP
sensor).
-To turn Off the engine.

When the key switch is turned On, the engine control module (ECM) supplies a pulse on the MAB
signal wire.
The pulse is used by the pump control unit (PSG) to perform a self-test and determine whether:
-the end-stage to control the high pressure solenoid valve works properly.
-the fuel cutoff solenoid valve itself works properly.
When the key switch is turned Off, the engine control module (ECM) supplies a 12 V pluses to the
MAB signal wire. This pulse is the command for the pump control unit (PSG) to turn Off the engine.

The fuel injection quantity metering is performed by high pressure solenoid valve in the injection
pump. And it is determined depends on control duration of the high pressure solenoid valve and pump
camshaft angular position.
When the drive shaft rotates, the pump camshaft speed sensor receives signal form the sensor wheel,
and an electric pulse is sent through the flexible connecting harness to the pump control unit (PSG).
From these signals the pump control unit (PSG) can determine the average pump speed and the
momentary pump speed.
The pump camshaft speed sensor is mounted to the cam ring. Thus, the relationship between the cam
ring and the pump camshaft speed sensor signal is constant.
The pump camshaft speed sensor signal is utilized for the following purposes.
To determine the momentary angular position of the cam ring.
To calculate the actual speed of the fuel injection pump.
To determine the actual timing plunger position.

The pump camshaft sensor signal has a tooth gap, and the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor on the
flywheel housing is used as a reference signal of engine top dead center (TDC) for the start timing of
fuel delivery or injection which is to be set.
1. Valve Needle
2. Magnet Anchor
3. Coil
4. High Pressure Passage
When current from the pump control unit (PSG) flows to the high pressure solenoid valve coil, the
magnet anchor (a movable iron core) pushes the valve needle, toward the valve seat.
When the valve seat is completely closed by the valve needle, the way, of the fuel in the high pressure
passage to the low pressure circuit is closed.
The pressure of the fuel in the high pressure passage is rapidly increased by radial plunger lift, and
the high pressure fuel is delivered through the constant pressure valve (CPV) to the nozzle holder
assembly and is injected into the engine cylinder.
1. Valve Needle
2. Coil
When the fuel injection quantity demanded by the engine is reached, the current to the coil is cut and
the valve needle re-opens the valve seat.
As a result of this, a path is opened for the fuel in the high pressure passage to the low pressure
circuit and the pressure decreases. With a decrease in injection pressure the nozzle closes and
injection ends.

12. Timing Control Valve (TCV)
The pressure of the fuel fed from the feed pump is adjusted in accordance with speed by the
regulating valve. This delivery pressure acts on the hydraulic stopper's annular chamber as control
pressure.
The chamber pressure of the annular chamber is controlled by the timing control valve (TCV).
The timing plunger is connected to the cam ring by a ball pin. Axial movement of the timing plunger is
transferred to the cam ring in the form of rotational movement. Movement to the right of the timing
plunger (to the spring side) advances injection timing.

2. From Annular Chamber
3. To Feed Pump
4. Orifice
5. Valve Needle
When control current flows to the timing control valve (TCV) coil, the valve needle opens and the fuel
annular chamber flows through the orifice to the feed pump inlet.
Consequently, the pressure of the annular chamber decreases and the hydraulic stopper is moved to
the retard side.

The pump control unit (PSG) is constantly comparing the set start of injection timing and the actual
start of injection timing. If there is a difference, the timing control valve (TCV) is controlled by the duty
ratio. (The actual start of injection timing is determined from the pump camshaft speed sensor.)

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is part of the intake air system.
It is fitted between the air cleaner and turbocharger and measure the mass air flowing into the
engine.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot film element to determine the amount of air flowing into
the engine.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor assembly consist of a mass air flow (MAF) sensor element and an
intake air temperature sensor that are both exposed to the air flow to be measured.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor element measures the partial air mass through a measurement duct
on the sensor housing.
Using calibration, there is an extrapolation to the entire mass air flow to the engine.
The measuring element is fitted to the housing with two screws but is not separately replaceable.
The sensor element is only supplied as an assembly with the housing.

The IAT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changes the resistance value. And it changes voltage.
In other words it measures a temperature value. Low air temperature produces a high resistance.
The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the IAT sensor through resisters in the ECM and measures the
voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the air temperature is cold, and it will be low when the
air temperature is hot.
The values for the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor can be measured on terminal 84.

Engine Coolant Temp (deg. C) (Tech2 Reading)
The ECT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changes the resistance value. And it changes
voltage. In other words it measures a temperature value. It is installed on the coolant stream. Low
coolant temperature produces a high resistance.
The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the ECT sensor through resisters in the ECM and measures the
voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine temperature is cold, and it will be low when
the engine temperature is hot. The ECM uses to this value, and calculates fuel injection timing,
injection volume and an EGR control.
The signal from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor can be measured using a multi meter
by performing a measurement on terminal 89 of the engine control module (ECM).

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) sensor is located on top of the flywheel housing of the flywheel
and fixed with a bolt.
The flywheel is added crankshaft position (CKP) sensor pulsar function. The sensor reads the four
slots that are incorporated in the flywheel. The CKP sensor located at the flywheel housing uses
these slots to generate an inductive signal. This signal is required by the ECM to identify the
crankshaft position and the engine speed.

6. Flywheel With Four Gaps
The CKP sensor is of the magnet coil type and is also called an inductive pickup. The CKP sensor
consists of a soft iron core, a permanent magnet and coil. The magnetic field responds (collapses
and restores) to the passing gap of the sensor disc by generating an AC voltage.
The analogue CKP sensor signal is converted by the engine control module (ECM) into a square
wave signal.
The conditioned signal is then provided to the pump control unit (PSG) via engine control module
(ECM) terminal 91.
The windings of the coil have a resistance value of approximately 0.9 K ohm at a temperature of 20
deg. C.
The AC voltage generated by the CKP sensor can be measured using a multi meter on terminal 90
and 98 of the ECM. With the engine at idle, the AC voltage indicated on the multi meter is as follows.

The TPS is a potentiometer connected to throttle shaft on the throttle body. It is installed to the main
TPS and idle switch.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle
position. As the throttle valve angle is changed when accelerator pedal moved. The TPS signal also
changed at a moved throttle valve. As the throttle valve opens, the output increases so that the
output voltage should be high.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle.

OVERVIEW
As a retail service technician, you are part of the Isuzu service team. The team goal is "FIX IT RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME" for satisfaction of every customer.
You are a very important member of the team as you diagnose and repair customer vehicles.
You have maximum efficiency in diagnosis when you have an effective, organized plan for your work.
Strategy Based Diagnostics provides you with guidance as you create and follow a plan of action for
each specific diagnostic situation.
Hints
Though the symptoms may vary, basic electrical failures are generally caused by:
Loose connections:
Open/high resistance in terminals, splices, connectors or grounds
Incorrect connector/harness routing (usually in new vehicles or after a repair has been made):
Open/high resistance in terminals, splices, connectors of grounds
Corrosion and wire damage:
Open/high resistance in terminals, splices, connectors of grounds
Component failure:
Opens/short and high resistance in relays, modules, switches or loads
Aftermarket equipment affecting normal operation of other systems
You may isolate circuits by:
Unplugging connectors or removing a fuse to separate one part of the circuit from another part
Operating shared circuits and eliminating those that function normally from the suspect circuit
If only one component fails to operate, begin testing at the component
If a number of components do no operate, begin tests at the area of commonality (such as power
sources, ground circuits, switches or major connectors)
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following resources to assist in the diagnostic process:
Service manual
Technical equipment (for data analysis)
Experience
Technical Assistance
Circuit testing tools
2. Heat
This method is important when the complaint suggests that the problem occurs in a heated
environment. Apply moderate heat to the component with a hair drier or similar tool while monitoring
the system for a malfunction.
CAUTION: Care must be take to avoid overheating the component.
3. Water and Moisture
This method may be used when the complaint suggests that the malfunction occurs on a rainy day or
under conditions of high humidity. In this case, apply water in a light spray on the vehicle to duplicate
the problem.
CAUTION: Care must be take to avoid directly exposing electrical connections to water.
4. Electrical loads
This method involves turning systems ON (such as the blower, lights or rear window defogger) to
create a load on the vehicle electrical system at the same time you are monitoring the suspect
circuit/component.

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before using this section, perform the "On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check" and verify all of
the following items:
-The engine control module (ECM) and check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction indicator lamp are
operating correctly.
-There are no Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) stored.
-Tech 2 data is within normal operating range. Refer to Typical Scan Data Values.
-Verify the customer complaint and locate the correct symptom in the table of contents. Perform the
procedure included in the symptom chart.
VISUAL/PHYSICAL CHECK
Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful visual/physical check. This can lead to correcting
a problem without further checks and can save valuable time. This check should include the following
items:
-ECM grounds for cleanliness, tightness and proper location.
-Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper connection. Check thoroughly for any type of leak or
restriction.
-Air intake ducts for collapsed or damaged areas.
-Air leaks at throttle body mounting area, mass air flow (MAF) sensor and intake manifold sealing
surfaces.
-Wiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.
INTERMITTENT
Important: An intermittent problem may or may not turn on the check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction
indicator lamp) or store a Diagnostic Trouble Code. Do NOT use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
charts for intermittent problems.
The fault must be present to locate the problem.
Most intermittent problems are cased by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Perform a careful
visual/physical check for the following conditions.
-Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not fully seated in the connector (backed out).
-Improperly formed or damaged terminal.
-All connector terminals in the problem circuit should be carefully checked for proper contact tension.
-Poor terminal-to-wire connection. This requires removing the terminal form the connector body to
check.
-Check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction indicator lamp) wire to ECM shorted to ground.
-Poor ECM grounds. Refer to the ECM wiring diagrams.
Road test the vehicle with a Digital Multimeter connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal voltage
when the malfunction occurs is a good indication that there is a fault in the circuit being monitored.
Using Tech 2 to help detect intermittent conditions. The Tech 2 have several features that can be
used to located an intermittent condition. Use the following features to find intermittent faults:
To check for loss of diagnostic code memory, disconnect the MAF sensor and idle the engine until the
check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction indicator lamp) comes on. Diagnostic Trouble Code P0100
should be stored and kept in memory when the ignition is turned OFF.
If not, the ECM is faulty. When this test is completed, make sure that you clear the Diagnostic Trouble
Code P0100 from memory.
An intermittent check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction indicator lamp) with no stored Diagnostic Trouble
Code may be caused by the following:
-Check engine lamp (MIL=malfunction indicator lamp) wire to ECM short to ground.
-Poor ECM grounds. Refer to the ECM wiring diagrams.
Check for improper installation of electrical options such as light, cellular phones, etc. Check all wires
from ECM to the ignition control module for poor connections.
Check for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and check for other open diodes (refer to
wiring diagrams in Electrical Diagnosis).
If problem has not been found, refer to ECM connector symptom tables.
-Check the "Broadcast Code" of the ECM, and compare it with the latest Isuzu service bulletins and/or
Isuzu EEPROM reprogramming equipment to determine if an update to the ECM's reprogrammable
memory has been released.
This identifies the contents of the reprogrammable software and calibration contained in the ECM.
If the "Broadcast Code" is not the most current available, it is advisable to reprogram the ECM's
EEPROM memory, which may either help identify a hard-to find problem or may fix the problem.
The Service Programming System (SPS) will not allow incorrect software programming or incorrect
calibration changes.

Rough Idle
Typical Condition
Stall
time
Definitions: Engine runs unevenly at idle. If severe, the engine or vehicle may shake. Engine idle
speed may vary in RPM. Either condition may be severe enough to stall the engine.
4. Surges and/or Chugs Symptom
rpm
Surge
Typical Condition
time
Definitions: Engine power variation under steady throttle or cruise. Feels like the vehicle speeds up
and slows down with no charge in the accelerator pedal.
rpm
Sug
Hesitation
Typical Condition
time
Definitions: Momentary lack of response as the accelerator is pushed down. Can occur at any vehicle
speed. Usually most pronounced when first trying to make the vehicle move, as from a stop sign. May
cause the engine to stall if severe enough.
6. Cuts Out, Misses Symptom
rpm
Typical Condition
time
Definitions: Steady pulsation or jerking that follows engine speed; usually more pronounced as engine
load increases.
7. Lack of Power, Sluggish or Spongy Symptom
Definitions: Engine delivers less than expected power. Attempting part-throttle acceleration results in
little or no increase in vehicle speed.
8. Poor Fuel Economy Symptom
Definitions: Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road test, is noticeably lower than expected.
Also, economy is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time, as previously shown by an
actual road test. (Larger than standard tires will cause odometer readings to be incorrect, and that
may cause fuel economy to appear poor when it is actually normal.)
9. Excessive White Smoke
10. Excessive Black Smoke
