ECM Input & Output
ECM Voltage Description
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensors. The ECM can do this because
resistance in the ECM is so high in value that a test
lamp may not illuminate when connected to the circuit.
An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megaohm input impedance DMM, to
ensure accurate voltage readings. The input and/ or
output devices in the ECM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special
drivers. The ECM controls most components with
electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned ON. Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum Equipment
Aftermarket or add-on electrical and vacuum
equipment is defined as any equipment which connects
to the vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is
installed on a vehicle after the vehicle leaves the
factory. No allowances have been made in the vehicle
design for this type of equipment. No add-on vacuum
equipment should be added to this vehicle. Add-on
electrical equipment must only be connected to the
vehicle's electrical system at the battery power and
ground. Add-on electrical equipment, even when
installed to these guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also
include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system such as portable telephones and
audios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing any
powertrain fault is to eliminate all aftermarket electrical
equipment from the vehicle. After this is done, if the
fault still exists, the fault may be diagnosed in the
normal manner.

Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the ECM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. By comparison, as much as
4,000 volts may be needed for a person to feel even
the zap of a static discharge. There are several ways
for a person to become statically charged. The most
common methods of charging are by friction and
induction.
• An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
Important: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
• Do not touch the ECM connector pins or soldered components on the ECM circuit board.
• Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
• Before removing the part from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
• If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
• Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly charged
object and momentarily touches ground. Charges
of the same polarity are drained off leaving the
person highly charged with opposite polarity.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Operation
The MIL is located in the instrument panel cluster. The
MIL will display the following symbols when
commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emission related fault (Type
A or B) has occurred (Euro 4 specification) or engine
performance related fault has occurred (except Euro 4
specification) and vehicle service is required. The
following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL:
• The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test
to ensure 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
emission related fault (Euro 4 specification), and
engine performance related fault has occurred
(except Euro 4 specification).
Service Vehicle Soon (SVS) Lamp Operation (Euro
4 Specification)
The service vehicle soon (SVS) lamp is located in the
instrument panel cluster. The SVS lamp will display the
following symbol when commanded ON:
The SVS lamp indicates that a non-emission related
fault (Type C) has occurred and vehicle service
required. The following is a list of the modes of
operation for the SVS lamp:
• The SVS lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb
test to ensure the SVS lamp is able to illuminate.
• The SVS lamp turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present.
• The SVS lamp remains illuminated after the engine is started if the ECM detects a fault. A DTC is
stored any time the ECM illuminates the SVS lamp
due to a non-emission related fault.

Engine Control Component Description
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
Legend1. Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor
2. Accelerator pedal bracket
3. Nut

The APP sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal
control assembly. The sensor is made up of three
individual sensors within one housing. The ECM uses
the APP sensors to determine the amount of
acceleration or deceleration that is desired. The APP
sensors are potentiometer type sensors. Each APP
sensor provides a different signal to the ECM on the
each signal circuit, which relative to the position
changes of the accelerator pedal angle. The APP
sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as
the pedal is depressed. The APP sensor 2 and APP
sensor 3 signal voltage is high at rest and decreases as
the pedal is depressed. Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
The BARO sensor is located on the intake manifold.
The BARO sensor is a transducer that varies voltage
according to changes the barometric pressure. The
BARO sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the
signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes
of the barometric pressure. The ECM should detect a
low signal voltage at a low barometric pressure, such
as high altitude place. The ECM should detect high
signal voltage at a high barometric pressure. The ECM
uses this voltage signal to calibrate the fuel injection
quantity and injection timing for altitude compensation.

The boost pressure sensor is located in the air
induction tubing. The boost pressure sensor is a
transducer that varies voltage according to changes in
the air pressure inside the air tubing. The boost
pressure 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 low engine
load. The ECM should detect high signal voltage at a
high boost pressure, such as high engine load.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Legend 1. Timing chair sprocket
2. Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
3. Rotating direction

The CMP sensor is installed on the timing chain
sprocket cover at the front of the camshaft idle gear.
The CMP sensor detects total of five projections per
one engine cycle (four projections arranged equally
every 90 ° and one reference projection on the timing
chain sprocket surface). The CMP sensor is a magnetic
resistance element (MRE) type sensor, which
generates a square wave signal pulse. Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Legend
1. Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor

Legend
1. Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
2. Sensor rotor
3. Rotating direction

The CKP sensor is located on the left-hand of the
cylinder block rear and it is behind the starter motor.
The sensor rotor is fixed on the crankshaft. There are
56 notches spaced 6 ° apart and a 30 ° section that is
open span. This open span portion allows for the
detection of top dead center (TDC). The CKP sensor is
a magnetic resistance element (MRE) type sensor,
which generates a square wave signal pulse.
Detecting the open span portion from the CKP sensor
and one reference projection from the camshaft
position (CMP) sensor, the ECM determines cylinder
#1 compression TDC to ensure they correlate with
each other.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Legend1. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor

The ECT sensor is installed to the thermostat housing.
The ECT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures
the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT
sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the
engine coolant 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.
Fuel Temperature (FT) Sensor
Legend 1. Fuel temperature (FT) sensor
2. Fuel rail pressure (FRP) regulator

The FT sensor is installed to the fuel supply pump. The
FT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures the
temperature of the fuel entering the fuel supply pump.
When the FT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is
high. When the fuel 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.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The IAT sensor is fitted between the air cleaner and
turbocharger. It is internal to the mass air flow (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.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) SensorThe MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the
amount of air that enters the engine. It is fitted between
the air cleaner and turbocharger. A small quantity of air
that enters the engine indicates deceleration or idle
speed. A large quantity of air that enters the engine
indicates acceleration or a high load condition. The
MAF sensor assembly consists of a MAF sensor
element and an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor that
are both exposed to the air flow to be measured. The
MAF sensor element measures the partial air mass
through a measurement duct on the sensor housing.
Fuel System Description
The common rail system uses a type of accumulator
chamber called the fuel rail to store pressurized fuel,
and injectors that contain electronically controlled
solenoid valves to spray the pressurized fuel in the
combustion chambers. The injection system (injection
pressure, injection rate, and injection timing) is
controlled by the ECM, and therefore the common rail
system can be controlled independently, free from the influence of engine speed and load. This ensures a
stable injection pressure at all time, particularly in the
low engine speed range, so that black smoke specific
to diesel engines generated during vehicle starting or
acceleration can be reduced dramatically. As a result,
exhaust gas emissions are clear and reduced, and
higher output is achieved.

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 on the connector housing, and ID codes showing these in numeric form (24 alphanumeric
figures). This system uses fuel injector flow rate
information (ID codes) to optimize injection quantity
control. When an injector is newly installed in a vehicle,
it is necessary to input the ID codes in the ECM.
QR (Quick Response) codes or fuel injector flow rate
(ID codes) have been adopted to enhance the injection
quantity precision of the injectors. The adoption of
codes enables injection quantity dispersion control
throughout all pressure ranges, contributing to
improvement in combustion efficiency and reduction in
exhaust gas emissions.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1) 6E-361
1) Non-injection state
The two way valve (TWV) closes the outlet orifice by
means of a spring force, when no current is supplied
from the ECM to the solenoid. At this time, the fuel
pressure applied to the nozzle leading end is equal to
the fuel pressure applied to the control chamber
through the inlet orifice. As for the force competition in
this state, the pressure on the command piston upper
surface + nozzle spring force defeat the pressure on
the nozzle leading end, and consequently the nozzle is
pushed downward to close the injection holes.
2) Injection start
The TWV is pulled up to open the outlet orifice, and
thus the fuel leaks toward the return port, when the
current is supplied from the ECM to the solenoid. As a
result, the nozzle is pushed up together with the
command piston by the fuel pressure applied to the
nozzle leading end, and then the nozzle injection holes
open to inject the fuel.
3) Injection end
The TWV lowers to close the outlet orifice, when the
ECM shuts off a current supply to the solenoid. As a
result, the fuel cannot leak from the control chamber,
and thus the fuel pressure in the control chamber rises
abruptly and then the nozzle is pushed down by the
command piston to close the nozzle injection holes,
resulting in the end of fuel injection.

Fuel Supply Pump
The fuel supply pump is the heart of the common rail
type electronic fuel injection system. The fuel supply
pump is installed at the same location as the
conventional injection type pump, which spins at a 1 to
1 ratio of fuel supply pump to crankshaft speed. A fuel
rail pressure (FRP) regulator and fuel temperature
sensor are part of the fuel supply pump assembly.
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank via the fuel supply
pump by the use of an internal feed pump (trochoid
type). This feed pump pumps fuel into a 2-plunger
chamber also internal to the fuel supply pump. Fuel into
this chamber is regulated by the FRP regulator solely
controlled by current supplied from the ECM. No
current to the solenoid results in maximum fuel flow
whereas full current to the solenoid produces no fuel
flow. As the engine spins, these two plungers produce
high pressure in the fuel rail. Since the ECM controls
the flow of fuel into this 2-plunger chamber, it therefore
controls the quantity and pressure of the fuel supply to
the fuel rail. This optimizes performance, improves
economy and reduces NOx emissions. Fuel Rail (Common Rail)

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1) 6E-363
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 supply
pump and injectors. A pressure sensor and a pressure
limiter are installed on the fuel rail. The pressure sensor
detects the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail and sends
its signal to the ECM. Based on this signal, the ECM
controls the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail via the fuel
rail pressure (FRP) regulator of the supply pump. The
pressure limiter opens the valve mechanically to relieve
the pressure when the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail
is excessive.
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
The FRP sensor is installed to 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 rail pressure
(fuel pressure) from the voltage signal and uses the
result in fuel injection control and other control tasks.
Pressure Limiter Valve
Legend 1. Valve
2. Valve body
3. Valve guide
4. Spring
5. Housing
6. Fuel rail
7. Fuel return pipe

The pressure limiter relieves pressure by opening the
valve if abnormally high pressure is generated. The
valve opens when pressure in rail reaches
approximately 220 MPa (32,000 psi), and closes when
pressure falls to approximately 50 MPa (7,250 psi).
Fuel leakage through the pressure limiter re-turns to
the fuel tank. Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Regulator
The ECM controls the duty ratio of the linear type fuel
rail pressure (FRP) regulator (the length of time that the
current is applied to the FRP regulator), in order to
control the quantity of fuel that is supplied to the high-
pressure plungers. Since only the quantity of fuel that is
required for achieving the target rail pressure is drawn
in, the drive load of the supply pump is decreased.
When current flows to the FRP regulator, variable
electromotive force is created in accordance with the
duty ratio, moving the armature to the left side. The
armature moves the cylinder to the left side, changing
the opening of the fuel passage and thus regulating the
fuel quantity. With the FRP regulator OFF, the return
spring contracts, completely opening the fuel passage
and supplying fuel to the plungers (Full quantity intake
and full quantity discharge). When the FRP regulator is
ON, the force of the return spring moves the cylinder to
the right, closing the fuel passage (normally opened).
By turning the FRP regulator ON/OFF, fuel is supplied
in an amount corresponding to the actuation duty ratio,
and fuel is discharged by the plungers.
