DRIVE CYCLE
Performing the running test of the car using the following five drive cycle patterns makes it possible to
monitor all the diagnosis codes that are required for operation of the car in order to determine if the
applicable system is operating properly or not.
In other words, doing such a drive allows to regenerate any kind of trouble which involves illuminating the
Engine Warning Lamp (Check Engine Lamp) and to verify the repair procedure has eliminated the trouble
[the Engine Warning Lamp (Check Engine Lamp) is no longer illuminated].
Caution
Two technicians should always be in the vehicle when carrying out a test drive.
NOTE
Check that the diagnosis code is not output before traveling in the Drive cycle pattern. Erase the diagnosis
code if it has been output.

OUTLINE OF CHANGES
Due to the changes as shown below, the service procedures regarding the different description from
the previous version have been established.
DOn M/T, the engine-ECU has been changed as diagnosis code P1603 has been added.
DOn A/T, the engine-A/T-ECU has been changed as an on-board diagnosis system has been adopted.
The engine warning lamp control, the diagnosis function, the service data output and the actuator
test are basically the same as for M/T.
DOn A/T, an dual oxygen sensor has been adopted. This sensor is the same as for the previous

DIESEL FUEL <4M4> -General Information13C-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The electronically-controlled fuel injection system consists of sensors which detect the condition of the
diesel engine, an engine-ECU which controls the system based on signals from these sensors, and actuators
which operate according to control commands from the engine-ECU.
The engine-ECU carries out operations such as fuel injection rate control, fuel injection timing control
and idle up control. In addition, the engine-ECU is equipped with several self-diagnosis functions which
make troubleshooting easier in the event that a problem develops.
FUEL INJECTION RATE CONTROL
The fuel injection completion timing is controlled by means of a solenoid-type spill valve to ensure that
the optimum amount of fuel is supplied to the engine in accordance with gradual changes in the engine
running condition.
Before fuel injection starts, the solenoid-type spill valve is on (energized), so that the valve is closed.
As the plunger turns and rises, fuel is sent out under pressure, and when the fuel flow rate reaches
the target value for fuel injection, the solenoid-type spill valve turns off. When the solenoid-type spill
valve turns off, the fuel under high pressure inside the plunger is leaked out into the pump chamber
and fuel injection is completed.
FUEL INJECTION TIMING CONTROL
The position of the injection pump timer piston is controlled so that fuel injection is carried out at the
optimum timing in accordance with the engine running condition.
The timer piston position is determined by duty control of the timing control solenoid valve which is located
in the line between the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber of the timer piston.
The fuel injection timing is advanced by increasing the control duty of the timing control solenoid valve.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL
Controlling the fuel injection rate in accordance with the engine running condition maintains the idle speed
at the optimum condition.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
DWhen an abnormality is detected in any of the sensors or actuators, the engine warning lamp illuminates
to warn the driver.
DWhen an abnormality is detected in any of the sensors or actuators, a diagnosis code number
corresponding to the problem which occurred is output.
DThe RAM data relating to the sensors and actuators which is stored in the engine-ECU can be read
using the MUT-II. In addition, the actuators can be force-driven under certain conditions.
OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. Power Supply Control
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the relay turns on and power is supplied to components
such as the timing control solenoid valve.
2. Intake Air Throttle Control
When the engine is idling after having warmed up, the throttle valve is half opened to restrict the
amount of intake air in order to reduce vibration and noise.
3. A/C Relay Control
Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C ON and OFF
4. Fan motor relay control
The radiator fan and condenser fan operating speeds are controlled in accordance with the engine
coolant temperature and the vehicle speed.
5. Glow Control
Refer to GROUP 16.
6. EGR Control
Refer to GROUP 17.
