ECM
The ECM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operations. Avoid overloading
any circuit. When testing for open circuits and short circuits, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the ECU
circuits unless instructed to do so. In some cases, these circuits should only be tested using a DMM. The ECM
should remain connected to the ECM harness. The ECM mainly controls the following items.
Fuel system control
EGR system control
Glow system control
A/C compressor control
Immobilizer system control
On-board diagnosis for engine control
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors. The ECM controls the systems that affect
vehicle performance. The ECM performs the diagnostic function of the system. The ECM can recognize
operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL, and store DTCs. DTCs identify the system faults to aid the
technician in making repairs.

MIL operation
The MIL is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL displays the engine symbol when "ON" is
commanded.
The MIL indicates that an engine performance related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required. The
following is a list of operation modes for the MIL.
The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is turned OFF. This is a light test to
confirm that the MIL is able to illuminate.
The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the ECM detects a fault. A DTC is stored any time the
ECM illuminates the MIL due to an engine performance related fault.

Boost sensor
The boost sensor is located in the air induction tubing. The boost sensor is a transducer that varies voltage
according to changes in the air pressure inside the air tubing. The boost sensor provides a signal to the ECM on
the signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes in the air tubing. The ECM should detect a low signal
voltage at a low boost pressure, such as when the engine load is low. The ECM should detect high signal voltage
at a high boost pressure, such as when the engine load is high.

CMP sensor
The CMP sensor is installed on the timing chain sprocket cover at the front of the camshaft idle gear. The CMP
sensor detects five projections in total per one engine rotation. Four projections arranged equally every 90° and
one reference projection on the timing chain sprocket surface. The CMP sensor is a magnetic resistance
element type sensor, which generates a square wave signal pulse.
CKP sensor
The CKP sensor is located on the left-hand of the cylinder block rear section. The sensor rotor is secured to the
crankshaft. There are 56 notches spaced 6° apart and a 30° opening. This opening allows for detection of top
dead center. The CKP sensor is a magnetic resistance element type sensor, which generates a square wave
signal pulse. Detecting the opening from the CKP sensor and one reference projection from the CMP sensor, the
ECM determines cylinder No. 1 compression top dead center, and confirms that they correlate with each other.

IAT sensor
The IAT sensor is attached between the air cleaner and turbocharger. It is inside the MAF sensor. The IAT
sensor is a variable resistor and it measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. When the IAT sensor
is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the air temperature increases, the sensor resistance decreases.
With high sensor resistance, the ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance,
the ECM detects a lower voltage on the signal circuit.
MAF sensor
The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air that enters the engine. It is attached
between the air cleaner and turbocharger. A small quantity of air that enters the engine indicates deceleration or
idle rotation. A large quantity of air that enters the engine indicates acceleration or a high load condition. The
MAF sensor assembly consists of an MAF sensor element and an IAT sensor. Both components are exposed to
the air flow to be measured. The MAF sensor element measures the inflow air volume through a measurement
duct on the sensor housing.

Injector
Electronic control type injectors controlled by the ECM are used. Compared with conventional injection nozzles,
a command piston, solenoid valve, etc. are added. ID codes displaying various injector characteristic are laser
marked in the connector housing. This system uses injector flow rate information indicated by the ID codes to
optimize the injection quantity control. When an injector is newly installed in a vehicle, it is necessary to input the
ID codes in the ECM. QR codes or injector flow rate information are used to enhance the injection quantity
precision of the injectors. The use of codes enables injection quantity dispersion control throughout all pressure
ranges, contributing to improvement in combustion efficiency and reduction in exhaust gas emissions.

Non-injection state
The TWV closes the outlet orifice by means of a spring force, when no current is supplied from the ECM to the
solenoid. At this point, the fuel pressure applied to the nozzle leading end is equivalent to the fuel pressure
applied through the inlet orifice to the control chamber. As for the force competition in this state, the sum of
pressure on the command piston upper surface and nozzle spring force is greater than the pressure applied to
the nozzle leading end, and therefore the nozzle is pressed down and the injection hole is closed.
Injection start
When current is supplied from the ECM to the solenoid, the TWV is raised to open the outlet orifice and the fuel
flows into the return port. As a result, the nozzle is pressed up along with the command piston by the fuel
pressure applied to the nozzle leading end and then the nozzle injection hole opens to inject the fuel.
Injection end
When the ECM finishes supplying power to the solenoid, the TWV comes down and the outlet orifice is closed.
As a result, the fuel stops flowing into the return port from the control chamber and the fuel pressure within the
control chamber sharply rises. Then, the nozzle is pressed down by the command piston and the nozzle injection
hole is closed to stop fuel injection.

Fuel rail
Along with the employment of a common rail type electronic control fuel injection system, the fuel rail is provided
to store high pressure fuel between the fuel supply pump and injectors. The FRP sensor and pressure limiter are
installed on the fuel rail. The FRP sensor detects the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail and sends signals to the
ECM. Based on these signals, the ECM controls the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail via the FRP regulator of the
fuel supply pump. The pressure limiter opens the valve mechanically to relieve the pressure when the fuel
pressure inside the fuel rail is excessive.
FRP sensor
The FRP sensor is installed onto the fuel rail and it detects the fuel pressure in the fuel rail, converts the
pressure into a voltage signal, and sends the signal to the ECM. The ECM monitors the FRP sensor signal
voltage. Higher fuel rail pressure provides higher signal voltage while lower pressure provides lower signal
voltage. The ECM calculates actual fuel pressure from the voltage signal and uses the result in fuel injection
control and other control tasks.

FRP regulator
The FRP regulator is installed on the fuel supply pump. The ECM controls the duty ratio of the FRP regulator in
order to control the quantity of fuel supplied to the high-pressure plungers. Since only the quantity of fuel that is
required for achieving the target fuel rail pressure is drawn in, the drive load of the fuel supply pump is
decreased. When current flows to the FRP regulator, variable electromotive force is created in accordance with
the duty ratio, moving the solenoid plunger to the right side and changing the opening of the fuel passage and
thus regulating the fuel quantity. With the FRP regulator is off, the return spring stretches, completely opening the
fuel passage and supplying fuel to the plungers. When the FRP regulator is on, the fuel path is closed by the
return spring force. By turning the FRP regulator on and off, the fuel is supplied in an amount corresponding to
the actuation duty ratio, and the fuel is discharged by the plungers.
EGR system
The EGR system re-circulates a part of the exhaust gas to the intake manifold, and by mixing in inert gas to the
intake air, the combustion temperature is lowered and the generation of NOx is suppressed. The EGR control
system uses an electronic control system to ensure both drivability and low emission. A control current from the
ECM operates a motor to control the lift amount of EGR valve. Also, the actual valve lift amount is fed back to the
ECM for more precise control of the EGR amount.
The EGR control starts when the conditions for engine speed, coolant temperature, intake air temperature and
barometric pressure are satisfied. Then, the valve opening is calculated according to the engine speed, and the
target fuel injection quantity is determined. Based on this valve opening, the drive duty of the motor is provided
and the valve is driven accordingly.

EGR valve
The EGR valve is mounted on the inlet manifold. The ECM controls the EGR valve opening based on the engine
running condition. The ECM controls the EGR valve by controlling the motor. The motor is controlled based on
pulse width modulation signal sent from the ECM via CAN. The EGR valve control is performed by changing the
duty ratio from 0 % to an appropriate percentage. When the duty ratio increases, the valve opens. When the duty
ratio decreases, the valve closes.
The EGR valve position is detected by the controller installed inside the EGR valve body, and signals are sent to
the ECM via CAN. The ECM should detect a low signal voltage at a small lift amount or closed position. The
ECM should detect high signal voltage at a large lift amount.
Turbocharger
The turbocharger is used to increase the amount of air that enters the engine cylinders. This allows a
proportional increase of fuel to be injected into the cylinders, resulting in increased power output, more complete
combustion of fuel, and increased cooling of the cylinder heads, pistons, valves, and exhaust gas. This cooling
effect helps extend engine life.
Heat energy and pressures in the engine exhaust gas are utilized to drive the turbine. Exhaust gas is directed to
the turbine housing. The turbine housing acts as a nozzle to direct the shaft wheel assembly.
Since the compressor wheel is attached directly to the shaft, the compressor wheel rotates at the same speed as

the turbine wheel. Clean air from the air cleaner is drawn into the compressor housing and wheel. The air is
compressed and delivered through a crossover pipe to the engine air intake manifold, then into the cylinders.

2. Wastegate valve
3. Turbine wheel
4. Compressor wheel
5. Air cleaner
6. Intercooler
The amount of air pressure rise and air volume delivered to the engine from the compressor outlet is regulated
by the wastegate in the exhaust housing. The wastegate valve position is controlled by the pressure amount
accumulated at the intake side of the turbocharger. The diaphragm inside the wastegate is sensitive to pressure.
It controls the valve position inside the turbocharger. The valve position increases or decreases boost amount to
the turbocharger. (Standard output engine)
The amount of air pressure rise and air volume delivered to the engine from compressor outlet is regulated by a
turbocharger nozzle control actuator indirectly. The position of the turbocharger nozzle is controlled by the ECM.
The ECM utilizes a turbocharger nozzle control solenoid valve and a boost pressure sensor to control the
turbocharger nozzles. When the engine is not under load, the turbocharger nozzles are in open position A, or no
boost condition. When the engine is under load, the ECM commands the control solenoid valve to close the
turbocharger nozzles as B, thus increasing the boost. The ECM varies the boost dependent upon the load
requirements of the engine. The ECM uses a pulse width modulation on the control circuit to open and control
the solenoid valve. (High-output engine)
The intercooler also helps the performance of the diesel. Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and into the
turbocharger compressor housing. Pressurized air from the turbocharger then flows forward through the
intercooler located in the front of the radiator. The air from the intercooler flows back into the intake manifold.
The intercooler is a heat exchanger that uses air flow to dissipate hear from the intake air. As the turbocharger
increases air pressure, the air temperature increases. Lowering the intake air temperature increases the engine
efficiency and power by packing more air molecules into the same space.

Cooling system
The cooling system is a force-circulation system, and its main components are the water pump, the thermostat,
the cooling fan, and the radiator.
To quickly increase cold engine coolant temperature for smooth engine operation, the coolant is circulated by the
water pump and the thermostat through the bypass pipe and back to the cylinder body. At this time, the coolant
does not circulate through the radiator.
When the coolant temperature reaches the specified value, the thermostat begins to open to gradually increase
the amount of coolant circulating through the radiator.
When the coolant temperature reaches the specified value, the thermostat is fully opened. Then all of the coolant
circulates through the radiator to cool the engine effectively.
