Before using this Workshop Manual to assist you in performing
vehicle service and maintenance operations, it is recommended
that you carefully read and thoroughly understand the information
contained in Section - 0A under the headings “GENERAL REPAIR
INSTRUCTIONS” and “HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL”.
All material contained in this Manual is based on the latest product
information available at the time of publication.
All rights are reserved to make changes at any time without prior
notice.
Unless otherwise specified in diagnostic procedures,
do not use Test Light to diagnose the powertrain
electrical system. When diagnostic procedures need
probe connector, use Connector Test Adapter Kit 58840-0385-0.
On-market electrical equipment and vacuum
devices
On-market electrical equipment and vacuum devices
refer to those components that will be installed to
vehicles after shipme nt from manufacturing plants. Be
careful that installation of these components is not
considered during the process of vehicle design.
CAUTION:
Do not install on-market vacuum devices to
vehicles.
CAUTION:
Connect on-market electrical equipment, as well as
its power supplies and grounds, to the circuits
isolated from the electronic control system.
The on-market electrical equipment, even when
installed to vehicles in normal manner, may bring
functional troubles to the electronic control system.
Affected devices include those not connected to the
vehicle electrical equipment system, for example,
mobile phones or radios. Therefore, when you intend to
diagnose the powertrain, check such the on-market
electrical equipment has not been installed to the
vehicle and, if installed, remove it. If faults still occur
even after removal of on-market electric al equipment,
diagnose the vehicle according to normal procedures.
Damage by electrostatic discharge
Electronic components used in the electronic control
system are designed to w ork at very low volta ges and,
for this reason, they are susceptible to damage by
electrostatic discharge and some types of electronic
components may be damaged even by the static
electricity of less th an 100 V that is us ually not sensed
by persons. Persons’ sensitivity level is 4,000 V.
Persons are electrostatically charged in various ways
and the most typical e lectrification sources are f riction
and induction. Shown below are examples.
• Electrification by friction occurs when a person
slides on the seat in the vehicle.
• Electrification by induction occurs when a person
with insulating shoes is standing near a highly
electrifiable substance and touches a ground
momentarily. Electric charges with the same
polarity flow out and resultantly the person is
charged at high opposite polarity. Since static
electric charges cause damages, it is important
when you handle or test electronic components.
CAUTION:
To prevent damages by electrostatic discharge,
follow the guidelines shown below.
• Do not touch ECM connector pins as well as
electronic components soldered to the ECM
circuit board.
• Do not unpack each replacement component
until preparations are completed for the
component.
• Before taking out a component from the
package, connect the package to the normal
grounding line of the vehicle.
• When you intend to slide on the seat, change
the posture from standing to sitting, or wa lk by
a certain distance to handle a component,
touch an appropriate grounding material.
Wire color
All wiring harnesses are id entifi ed using colored jac ket.
The wiring harness used for the main circuit in an
electrical system is identifi ed with sing le color while t he
wiring harness used for the sub- circu it is i dentif ied with
color stripe. The following rule is used in each wiring

Function and Operation
Electronic Control System
The electronic control system processes the data,
which has been collected with various types of sensors,
by means of the control program installed to ECM
(engine control module) to totally control engine
parameters such as fuel injection quantity, injection
timing, engine startup, altitude compensation, and
EGR.
ECM
ECM Description
The ECM is mounted in th e inner part of the engine lef t
side cover. The ECM monitors variou s data sent from
diversified sensors and controls systems in the
powertrain. The ECM diagnoses these systems to
detect faults with respect to system operations and
inform the driver of faulty condition via the CHECK
ENGINE lamp (MIL) and stores DTCs (diagnostic
trouble codes). DTC identifies the trouble generation
area to aid repairs by service operators.
Function of ECM
ECM supplies 5 V and 12 V voltages to various sensors
and switches. Since powers are supplied via high
resistances in EC M, Test Light, even when c onnected
to the circuit, will not be lit. In a special case, a no rmal
voltmeter does not indicate correct values since the
resistance of the ins trument i s too low. To get a ccurate
readings, you need a digital voltmeter whose input
impedance is at least 10 MΩ. The special tool 5-88400366-0 is a proper choice for this measurement. In the
ECM, the output c ircuit is controlled by regulati ng the
grounding system or power circuit via transistor or
either of the devices listed below.
• Output driver module (ODM)
• Quad drive module (QDM)
ECM and Components
The ECM is designed to offer excellent drivability and
fuel economy while achieving exhaust gas emission
control requirements. The ECM monitors engine and
vehicle functions via various electronic sensors such as
CKP (crank position) and VS (vehicle speed) sensors.
Voltages from ECM
The ECM supplies reference voltages to various
switches and sensors. Resistances of the ECM are
very high and this allows the ECM to supply voltages to
these devices, and v oltages actually app lied to circuits
are low and even connecting Test Light to individual
circuits may fail turn-on. Since the voltmeter normally
used in service factories has low input impedance,
correct readings m ay not be obtain ed. To get accurate
readings, a digital voltmet er whose input impedanc e is
10 MΩ (for example, 5-8840-0366-0) should be used.
Input/output devices of the ECM include analog-todigital converter, signal buffer, counter, and special
driver. By using electronic switch es, the ECM controls
most system components and turning off a switch
closes the ground circuit. These switches are divided
into four-switch or seve n- sw itc h gr ou ps, a nd th e former
group is called qu ad driv er mo dul e (Q DM) and controls
up to four output pins respectively while the latter group
is called output driver module (ODM) and controls up to
seven outputs respectively. Note that all the outputs are
necessarily not used in the control.
Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM
(EEPROM)
EEPROM is a permanent memory chip and soldered to
the board in the ECM. EEPROM stores program and
calibration data, both of which are necessary for the
ECM to control the powertrain. Different from
conventional ROMs, EEPROM cannot be replaced with
new component. If EEP ROM fails, the complete ECM
assembly must be replaced with new one.
Precautions on ECM Servic e
The ECM is designed to withstand ordinary currents
used in operations of a vehicle. Be careful that the
circuits must not be overloaded. To test the ECM to
check open wiring or short, ECM circuits must be
connected to the ground or voltages must not be
applied to the ECM. To test ECM circuits, the digital
voltmeter 5-8840-0366-0 should always be used.
The engine control system comprehends vehicle status
and driver’s i ntention based on the data acquired from
sensors and switches to adapt the engine to chang ing
situation so that the vehicle will achieve optimal running
condition. The heart of the engine control system is
ECM and this device provides direct control tasks for
the engine system, including fuel injection control,
intake throttle control , EGR control, and QWS control.
The ECM also governs vehicle system control
strategies such as ex haust brake control and id le stop
control via VIM. In addition, the ECM communicates
with other key systems, including ABS/ASR system
and clutch free system, via VIM.

LNW21AMF005601-X
The fuel injecti on con t rol system manages the i nje ct ion
quantity, injection timing, and injection pressure
according to the status of vehicle. This system changes
the injection quantity using injector operating period,
the injection timing using injector operation timi ng, and
the injection pressure using SCV drive duty,
respectively. The fuel injection co nsists of two stages,
pilot injection and main injection, and the control
system changes the amount and timing in individual
stages according to the conditions encountered.
The ECM uses the data acquired from associated
sensors and switches to judge the current vehicle
status, i.e., startup, idling, PTO, or idle stop, and
calculate the desired injection quantity. Once the
desired injection quantity is determined, ECM
calibrates the value to determine injector energize time,
energize timing, and SCV opening and controls
injectors and the SCV accordingly.
Calculation of Desired Injection Quantity
The ECM calcu lates the basic injecti on quantity using
engine speed, accelerator pedal position, engine
coolant temperature, a nd other necessary parameters
and calibrates this value based on the atmospheric
pressure or the li ke to determine the desire d injection
quantity.
Injector Control
The injector control consists of four stages: "control
stop mode" where the fuel injection is completely
stopped, "split injection mode" where two (or more)
injection shots are mad e for one cylinder at low engine
speeds and temperatures, "fixed injection mode" where
only main injectio n is made at ve ry low engine sp eeds
during startup, and "normal in jection mode" where the
fuel injection is made within normal engine speed
range. The proper mo de is selecte d according to s uch
the parameters as engine speed, engine coolant
temperature, and DTC. The ECM uses the desired
injection quantity, intake air temperature, engine
coolant temperature, and other parameters to
determine injector energize period (desired injection
period) and injector energize timing (desired injection
timing) and control i njectors according to the injec tion
mode selected.
SCV Control (Pump Control)
Pumps are controlled in six stages: "shutoff mode",
"start mode", "wait mode", "restart mode", "feedback
mode", and "deflate mode". The proper mode is
selected according to such the parameters as key
switch position, common rail pressure, and engine
speed. The ECM calcu lates desired injecti on pressure
and pump flow rate for the selected mode based on
intake air temperature, engine coolant temperature,
engine speed, desired injection quantity, and other
necessary parameters. Then , the ECM determines the
SCV opening (SCV drive duty) us ing thes e result s and
controls the SCV.

Intake Throttle Control

Legend
1. Intake throttle valve
2. ITP (intake throttle position) sensor
The intake throttle control system changes (throttles)
the air according to the vehicle status and reduces
suction noises generated from the working exhaust
brake and acceleration. This control is made by
opening and closing the intake throttle valve. The
intake throttle valve is ope rated by the DC motor and
changing the drive voltage (duty: see Note 1) opens
and closes the v alve. The intake throttle valve i s fully
opened in the normal state (i.e., the DC motor is
inactive) and gradually reduces the opening as the
drive voltage is increased. The ECM uses the ITP
(intake throttle position) sensor to detect the working
condition of the intake throttle valve. When the valve
opening gets smaller (the drive voltage is increased),
the output voltage of the ITP sensor becomes lower.
The valve position is norm ally calculated using engine
coolant temperature, engine speed, and desired
injection quantity, and the DC motor drive voltage is
determined from this calculated value. However, the
ECM completely opens the throttle valve when the
vehicle is in idle stop, DTC is set for the intak e throttle
system, AP sensor system, or EGR system, gear
shifting is perfo rmed (for m anual trans missi on ve hicle ),
the engine coolant temperature is low (less than 70°C),

switch is turned off (within 0.5 to 3.0 seconds).
There is an opposing relationship between intake
throttle control and EGR control. When the intake
throttle valve is opened, the EGR valve is closed, and
vice versa.

EGR Control
Engine Control System 1A-7

Legend
1. EGR valve
2. EGR valve position sensor
The EGR control system recirculates a portion of
exhaust gas to the intake to drop the combustion
temperature and thus reduce NOx. This control is
made by opening and closing the EGR valve. The EGR
valve is operated by the DC motor and changing the
duty (see Note 1) opens and closes the valve. This
EGR valve is f ully closed in the nor mal state (i.e., the
DC motor is inactive) and gradually enlarges the
opening as the duty is increased. The ECM uses the
EGR valve posit ion sens or to com prehend the working
condition of the EGR valve. When the valve opening
gets larger (the duty is increased), the output voltage of
the EGR valve position sensor becomes higher.
The EGR control is initiated when parameters such as
engine speed, engine coo lant temperatu re, acce lerator
position, atmospheric pressure, and system voltage
meet the required conditions, and the EGR valve
opening is calculated from engi ne c oolan t t emp eratur e ,
engine speed, and desire d inje ction quanti ty. The ECM
determines the drive duty of the DC motor based on
this valve position and drives the motor. The EGR
control is turned off when the exhaust brake is
operated, the PTO is working, the A P sensor fails, the
ECT sensor fails, the EGR system fails, or th e intake
throttle system fails.
There is an opposing relationship between EGR control
and intake throttle control. When the intake throttle
valve is opened, the EGR valve is closed, and vice
versa.

QWS Control
The QWS (quick warm- up system) curtails the engine
warm-up time. The glow control covers the engine
warm-up during the period from pre-startup to
immediate completion of startup. The QWS works
when the vehicle meets the required conditions after
engine startup and the dr iv er tu rn s o n th e Q WS s wit ch ,
and lasts until the vehicle deviates from the QWS
working conditions.
QWS working conditions
• The engine coolant is less than 73°C.
• The engine is running at or above 40 0 rpm for at
least 0.5 second.
• Both EGR and PTO controls are disabled.

least 0.5 seconds.
Exhaust Brake Control
A valve is instal le d ins id e t he exhaust pipe. Closing this
valve increases the resistance during the exhaust
stroke to enhance the effect of engin e brake. T he drive
source of the exhaust brake valve is vacuum. A
solenoid valve is inst alled to control the vacuum. The
exhaust brake is contr olled by o pening and clo sing this
solenoid electrically. When the engine is running at or
above 500 rpm, the e xhaust cut command is no t sent
from the automatic transmi ssion, and exhaust brake or
QWS working co nditions are completely me t, the VIM
turns on the solenoid valve.
• For a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch
pedal is not pressed. For an automatic
transmission veh icle, the exhaus t brake co mmand
is not sent from the automatic transmission.
• The system voltage stays between 20 V and 30 V .
Idle Stop Control (for Vehicles Equipped with Idle
Stop Control System)
The idle stop control system automatically cuts the
engine to prevent t he black smoke emission f rom the
vehicle that is not running for unloading or other works
(to restart the engine, manual operation is needed).
When all the idle stop conditions are met, the ECM
stops fuel injection and actuate s energy-saving relays
to turn off wipers, mirror defoggers, flashers, seat
heaters, and other electrical equipment.

when the temperature is l ow. The ECM supplies 5 V to
the ECT sensor via pull-up resistance and calculates
the engine coolant temperature from the change in
voltage and uses it in fuel injection control, EGR
control, and other control tasks. This voltage is
decreased when the resistance is large (the

EGR Valve and EGR Valve Position Sensor
LNW21ASH008101
The EGR valve is installe d at the top of the inlet cov er
and operated by a DC motor. The DC motor operates
the EGR valve by changing the duty. The valve is
opened when the duty is inc reased while closed when
the duty is decreased. T he ECM c alculate s the desir ed
EGR valve opening based on the vehicle running
condition and controls the DC motor accordingly.
The EGR valve po sition senso r is installed to the EGR
valve and sends the voltage signal that w ill change in
response to the EGR va lve opening to the ECM. The
ECM calculates the desired EGR valve opening from
the voltage signal and uses the result in EGR control.
The intake throttle valve is installed to the intake throttle
and operated by a DC motor. The DC motor operates
the intake throttle valv e by changing the drive voltage.
The valve is closed when the drive voltage is increased
while opened when the voltage is decreased. The ECM
calculates the intake throttle valve opening based on
the vehicle running condition and controls the DC
motor accordingly.
The ITP (intake throttle pos ition) sensor is installed to
the intake throttle valve and sends the voltage signal
that will change in response to the throttle valve
opening to the ECM. The E CM calculates the throttle
valve opening from the voltage signal and uses the
result in intake throttle control.
CMP Sensor
Intake Throttle Valve and ITP Sensor
LNW21ASH007901
The CMP (cam position) sensor is installed to each
cylinder head and, when the hol e on the camsha ft gear
passes the sensor, a CMP signal is generated. The
ECM identifies the cylinder from the CMP signal as well
as CKP signal sent from the CKP sensor and
determines the cran k angl e, and u ses t his a ngle in fue l
injection control and engine speed calculation. These
tasks are usually perform ed based on the CKP signal
but if the CKP sensor fails, the CMP signal will
substitute for the CKP signal.

CKP Sensor
LNW21ASH007601
The CKP (crank position) sensor is installed to the
flywheel housing and, when flywheel teeth pass the
sensor, a CKP signal is generated. The ECM ident ifies
the cylinder from the CKP s ignal as well as the CMP
signal sent from the CMP sensor and determines the
crank angle, and uses this angle in fuel injection control
and engine spe ed calculati on. These t asks are usually
performed based on the CKP signal but if the CKP
sensor fails, the CMP signal will substitut e for the C KP
signal.
FT Sensor
SCV
LNW21ASH007501
The SCV (suction control valve) is installed to the
supply pump and controls the suction fuel quantity. The
SCV is fully opened in normal state and larger drive
voltage (duty) results in smaller opening. The ECM,
based on the data acquired from sensors, calculates
the desired common rai l pressure and pump flow rate
and compares the calculated desired common rail
pressure to the actual value to determine the SCV
opening. When the actual pressure is lower than the
desired value, the SCV is opened to increase the pump
flow rate. When the actual pr essure is higher than the
desired value, the SCV is closed to decre ase the flow
rate.
LNW21ASH007401
The FT (fuel temperature) sensor is installed to the
supply pump and the thermistor in the sensor alters the
resistance in res pon se to the te mpe ra tur e cha nge. The
resistance is decreased when the fuel temperature is
high while incr eased when the temper ature is low. The
ECM supplies 5 V to the FT sensor via pull-up
resistance and calculates the fuel temperature from the
change in voltage a nd uses it in supply pump control
and other control tasks. This voltage is decreased
when the resistance is smal l (the temperature is high)
while increased when the resistance is large (the
temperature is low).
Common Rail Pressure Sensor
LNW21ASH008201
The common rail pressure sensor is installed to the
supply pump, and detects the fuel pressure in the
common rail, converts the pressure into a voltage
signal, and sends the signal to the ECM. Higher
common rail pressure provides higher voltage while
lower pressure provides lower voltage. The ECM
calculates actual common rai l pressure (f uel pressure)
from the voltage signal and uses the result in fuel
injection control and other control tasks.

Neutral Switch
Exhaust Brake Solenoid Valve
LNW21ASH009001
The exhaust brake solenoid valve is installed to the
rear of the right front wheel frame (s ome vehicle types
have different positions), and opens and closes the
vacuum path connected to the exhaust brake valve.
When this solenoid valve is turned on, the path is
opened and the vacuum is applied to the exhaust brake
valve. When the solenoid valve is turned off, the path is
closed and the atmospheric pressure is applied and
resultantly the exhaust brake valve is released. After
the exhaust brake s witch is turned on and the vehicle
meets all the nece ssary conditions, the E CM turns on
the exhaust brake solenoid valve.
LNW21ASH008601
The neutral switch (P/N switch in case of automatic
transmission) is installed to the transmission (shift lever
in case of automatic transmission), and is turned on
when the shift lever is moved to the neutral position.
The ECM receives the on/off signal from this neutral (or
P/N) switch to control the powertrain so that the dri ver
cannot start the engine as long as the shif t lever is not
in the neutral (or parking) position.
Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
The atmospheric pressure sensor is installed inside the
VIM and converts the atmospheric pressure into a
voltage signal. The VIM calculates the atmospheric
pressure from the voltage signal and sends the result to
the ECM. The ECM u ses this atmosp heric pressure to
calibrate the fuel injection quantity (altitude
compensation).
ECM
LNW21ASH007001
Engine Control System 1A-15
The ECM is installed in the inner par t of the engine lef t

throttle control, EGR control, and QWS control.
VIM
LNW21ASH008301
The VIM is installed inside the center console in the
cab, and transmits signals sent from diversified
switches and sensors and drives powertrain actuators
such as exhaust brake, relays, and warning lamps
according to the commands from the ECM.
CHECK ENGINE Lamp (MIL)
LNW21ASH000201
The CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL) is built in the meter
panel and informs th e driver of faulty status of e ngine
or associated syst ems. When the ECM detec ts a fault
by means of its diagnostic function, this CHECK
ENGINE lamp is turned on. A fter the diagnostic sw itch
is turned on (DLC pins are shorted), the CHECK
ENGINE lamp blinks to inform the mechanic of
detection of DTC.

DLC (data link connec tor) is installed to the da sh side
pane of the driver ’s seat and acts as a communicat ion
interface between external diagnostic tool and onboard controllers. The DLC can also function as a
diagnostic switch and when DLC pins are shorted , this
diagnostic switch is turned on.
