This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in the
EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions.
The EGR volume control valve remains close under the following
conditions.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
EGR volume control valve
The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow
rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the
ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each
time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing
the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM
does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued
so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

Description
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM and the electronic control fuel injection pump control unit
(abbreviated as the injection pump control unit) perform the real
time communication (signal exchange).
The ECM transmits the signals of the target fuel injection amount,
target fuel injection timing, and engine speed, etc., and receives the
signals of the pump speed and fuel temperature, etc. from the
injection pump control unit.
By those signals, the injection pump controls the optimum fuel
injection amount and injection timing of the spill valve and timing
control valve.
Injection pump control unit has an on board diagnostic system,
which detects malfunctions related to sensors or actuators built-into
electronic control fuel injection pump. These malfunction informa-
tion are transferred through the line (circuit) from injection pump
control unit to ECM.
FUEL INJECTION AMOUNT CONTROL
In accordance with the target fuel injection amount signal from the
ECM, the injection amount is controlled by controlling the spill valve
in the injection pump and by changing the needle opening time.
FUEL INJECTION TIMING CONTROL
Based on the target fuel injection timing signal from the ECM, the
injection timing is controlled in accordance with the timer spring by
performing the duty control of the timing control valve in the injec-
tion pump and by adjusting the pressure of the timer piston high
pressure chamber.
FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The sensor detects the fuel temperature in the injection pump and
calibrates the injection amount change by the fuel temperature.
CAM RING POSITION SENSOR
The sensor detects the passing of the protrusion on the sensor
wheel in the injection pump by the semiconductor magnetic resis-
tance element sensor. The cam ring position sensor synchronizes
with the cam ring, and detects the actual advance amount. The
injection pump control unit measures the injection pump revolution
by the signal of the cam ring position sensor.

When engine coolant temperature is more than approximately 75ÉC
(167ÉF), the glow relay turns off, inactivating the quick-glow control
until coolant temperature drops below approximately 55ÉC (131ÉF).

IIgnition switch ON
After ignition switch has turned to ON, the glow relay turns ON
for a certain period of time in relation to engine coolant
temperature, allowing current to flow through glow plug.
ICranking
The glow relay turns ON, allowing current to flow through glow
plug.
IStarting
After engine has started, current continues to flow through glow
plug (after-glow mode) for a certain period in relation to engine
coolant temperature.
When engine speed exceeds approximately 4,800 rpm, current
flow through glow plug is interrupted.
The glow indicator lamp turns ON for a certain period of time in
relation to engine coolant temperature at the time glow relay is
turned ON.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Glow plug
IThe glow plug is provided with a ceramic heating element to
obtain a high-temperature resistance. It glows in response to a
signal sent from the ECM, allowing current to flow through the
glow plug via the glow relay.
IThis engine uses two types of glow plugs.
Type A has a blue or yellow paint mark.
Type B has no paint mark.
The location of the paint mark is shown in the figure.
WARNING:
Do not use two types of glow plugs at the same time.

The amount of fuel leaking at or around high-pressure parts inside the fuel injection pump varies with the fuel
temperature and engine speed. This will result in a difference between the target amount of fuel injected and
the actual amount. The ECM compensates for the actual amount depending on the signal obtained from the
fuel temperature sensor.

Component Description
INJECTION TIMING CONTROL VALVE
The injection timing control valve is built into the fuel injection
pump. It controls the timer piston to change the fuel injection tim-
ing.
The timing control valve is a solenoid valve located in the line
between high-pressure chamber and low-pressure chamber. It
changes fuel pressure in the high-pressure chamber.
When current flows through the solenoid (the solenoid turns ON),
the timing control valve opens, advancing fuel injection timing.
When current does not flow through it, the timing control valve
closes, retarding injection timing.
The ECM emits an ON-OFF duty signal. The longer the OFF-
duration, the greater the advance angle. The longer the
ON-duration, the greater the retard angle. This means that chang-
ing the ON-OFF duty ratio makes it possible to achieve an optimal
advance angle and accurately control fuel injection timing.

IPre-glow
When the ignition switch is turned on the ON position, the glow
indicator lamp will turn ON and pre-glow starts.
The glow relay is turned ON continuously. The ON time of both
the glow indicator lamp and the glow relay is determined by the
engine coolant temperature. Pre-glow ends when the pre-glow
time elapses or when the engine is started.
IIntermediate glow
Intermediate glow starts when the pre-glow time has elapsed
and the engine has not been started. The glow relay is turned
ON intermittently. Intermediate glow ends when the intermedi-
ate glow time has elapsed, or when the engine is started.
IAfter-glow
After-glow starts as soon as the engine is running and the
engine coolant temperature is below 50ÉC (122ÉF). The glow
relay is turned on continuously. After-glow ends when the after-
glow time elapses, or when the engine coolant temperature
exceeds 50ÉC (122ÉF).
