to prevent dust or rain water from entering.






140R100036
Reuse of Quick–Connector
• Replace the port and connector if scratch, dent or crack is
found.
• Remove any dirt build up on the port when installing the
connector. Replace the connector, if there is any forms o
f
rust, dent, scratch.
• After cleaning the port, insert it straight into the connecto
r
until it clicks. After it clicks, try pulling at 49N (5kgf) it out to
make sure that it is not drawn and is securely locked.


Assembling Advice
By applying engine oil or light oil to the pipe, port makes pipe
assembly easier. The pipe assembly should take place
immediately after applying oil (to prevent dust from sticking to
the pipe surface – which may decrease sealing ability). Test/Inspection After Assembling
1. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Start the engine and observe the engine idle speed. The presence of dirt in the fuel system may affect the fuel
injection system.
3. Check for fuel leakage from the connector.

Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-103
DTC P0216 (Symptom Code A, B) (Flash Code 54)
Description
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the
desired fuel injection quantity and timing using data sent
from various sensors. These desired data are sent to
the fuel injection pump control unit (PCU) via a
controller area network (CAN) communication bus. The
PCU also receives signals from the internal inputs:
pump camshaft position (CMP) sensor that is located
inside the fuel injection pump to determine the cam ring
rotation angle and the fuel injection pump speed. The
fuel temperature (FT) sensor is internal the PCU. These
values are used to compare the desired values sent
from the ECM then PCU determines the injection time
r
piston position and fuel injection quantity, and actuates
timing control valve (TCV) & fuel injection solenoid
valve based on control maps in the PCU.
The timing device changes the optimum injection
timing against various engine conditions. The
pressure of the fuel fed from the feed pump is
adjusted and it acts to the timing plunger by TCV
controlled fuel pressure. (
The TCV is installed to the
fuel injection pump rear side and it is controlled by dut
y
ratio cycle from the PCU.) 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 plunge
r
advances injection timing.
If the PCU detects an
excessive difference between actual and desired fuel
injection timing, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC
Symptom Code A
• The engine speed is higher than 700 RPM.
• The fuel injection quantity is higher than 4 mg/strk.
Symptom Code B
• The engine speed is higher than 2014 RPM.
Condition for Setting the DTC
Symptom Code A
• The PCU monitored actual fuel injection timing is
advanced more than desired by 3°CA for longe
r
than 12 seconds or retarded more than desired by
6°CA for longer than 12 seconds.
Symptom Code B
• The PCU monitored actual fuel injection timing is
oscillated higher than desired by 5.2°CA.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The ECM limits fuel injection quantity.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.
Notice:
• The fuel injection pump installation with incorrect
mechanical timing may set this DTC.
• This DTC most likely indicate loss fuel pressure by
restricted fuel line. Inspect the fuel line restriction
between the fuel injection pump and fuel tank.
• The fuel system from the fuel tank(s) to the fuel
injection pump is under a slight vacuum with the
engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel
system if these connections are not tight or if there
is a crack in one of the fuel hoses. Air in the fuel
system will cause fuel injection pump internal
pressure fluctuations especially at high engine
speed and load, which may set this DTC.
• Improper fuel will cause this DTC to set. Inspect
fuel waxing or icing that is caused by an incorrect
fuel type used in winter season or water intrusion
in the fuel system.
• Contaminated fuel will cause this DTC to set.
Inspect the pipe connector fixing bolt (eye bolt) on
the fuel injection pump suction side.
Important:
If the fuel tank is empty or near empty, air might be
allowed to go into the fuel system. W ith air in the fuel
system, smooth flow of fuel into the fuel injection pump
is interrupted and this DTC may set. Perform bleeding
of fuel system after refilling. Refer to air bleeding
procedure in fuel system section.

4 1. Turn OFF the ignition. 2. Check the fuel system line connections between the fuel tank and the fuel injection pump for
tightness and all fuel hoses for cuts, cracks and
for the use of proper clamps.
Notice: The fuel system from the fuel tank(s) to the
fuel injection pump is under a slight vacuum with the
engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel
system if these connections are not tight. Air in the
fuel system will cause fuel injection pump internal
pressure fluctuations especially at high engine
speed and load, which may set this DTC.
3. Pump the priming pump on the fuel filter until it becomes firm. If there is a leak on the suction
side of the fuel system between the priming
pump and the fuel injection pump, the priming
pump will not build up sufficient firmness and fuel
leakage may occur.
4. Repair or replace as necessary.

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on top
of the flywheel housing. There are 4 slits spaced 90 °
on the flywheel circumference. The CKP sensor is a
magnetic coil type sensor, which generates an AC
signal voltage based on the crankshaft rotational speed.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors both the
CKP sensor and injection pump camshaft position
(CMP) sensor signals to ensure they correlate with each
other.
If the ECM receives extra or missing CKP sensor signal
pulses, this DTC will set. (Symptom Code B)
If the ECM receives a certain amount of injection pump
CMP sensor signal pulses without a CKP sensor signal,
this DTC will set. (Symptom Code D)

• The controller area network (CAN) communication
between the ECM and PCU is normal.
Condition for Setting the DTC
Symptom Code B • The ECM detects extra or missing CKP senso
r
signals while engine is running.
Symptom Code D
• The ECM detects that the CKP sensor signals are
not generated when doubled fuel injection pump
rotation speed is higher than 50 RPM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The ECM uses an engine speed substitution o
f
doubled fuel injection pump speed for engine
control.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
