DTC P1386 Injector for Exhaust Fuel Addition
Description

The exhaust fuel addition injector is mounted on the exhaust port of the cylinder head, and low pressure is provided to the injector by the feed pump in the supply pump. This injector adds fuel by a control signal from the ECM.
This injector is used for two different controls: DPNR catalyst regeneration and nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction.
Under the DPNR catalyst regeneration control, the injector adds fuel to raise a catalyst temperature.
In the other control, the injector helps the air-fuel ratio become RICH. As a result, NOx in the exhaust gas will be reduced in response to the RICH air-fuel ratio.

- If P1386 is present, refer to the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) chart for TOYOTA D-CAT.
- "Learning value" represents a correction learning value of the fuel addition volume to raise the DPNR*2 catalyst temperature to a target range.

Toyota fault code list DTC P1386
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Main Trouble Area | Related Trouble Area |
P1386 | Excess or low fuel addition volume from exhaust fuel addition injector: Air-fuel ratio deviates from a value estimated by ECM while the injector is adding fuel (1 trip detection logic) |
|
|
Low fuel addition volume from exhaust fuel addition injector: Learning value*3 exceeds standard level (1 trip detection logic) |
|||
Exhaust fuel addition injector nozzle stuck open: Air-fuel ratio becomes RICHER than standard level, or exhaust gas temperature becomes higher than standard level (1 trip detection logic) |
*3: Correction learning value of the fuel addition volume to raise the DPNR catalyst temperature to a target range.
HINT:
- DTC P2047, P2048 or P2049 will be present if there is an open malfunction in the exhaust fuel addition injector circuit.
- If any one of the main injectors has a closed valve malfunction, rough idle will result. Compensatory injection volume learning values of each cylinder can be read by using the intelligent tester. When the value is more than 3.0 mm3, the cylinder is malfunctioning.
- Usually compensation injection volume is 3.0 mm3 or less.
Monitor description
HINT:
"Learning value" represents a correction learning value of the fuel addition volume to raise the DPNR*4 catalyst temperature to a target range.
*4: Diesel Particulate-NOx Reduction system.
In order to detect malfunctions in the exhaust fuel addition injector, the ECM monitors the air-fuel ratio, DPNR catalytic temperature and learning value.
- When the exhaust fuel addition injector adds fuel during NOx reduction, the ECM monitors the air-fuel ratio when the exhaust fuel addition injector adds fuel. If the air-fuel ratio is too RICH or too LEAN against the ECM predetermined air-fuel ratio, the ECM determines that the fuel addition volume is small or large, and illuminates the MIL. For this malfunction, there is no fail-safe operation.
- The ECM always monitors the DPNR catalytic converter temperature and the air-fuel ratio. When the temperature becomes higher than its usual level or the air-fuel ratio becomes extremely RICH, the ECM judges that the injector is stuck open and illuminates the MIL. If this malfunction occurs, the ECM enters the fail-safe mode to limit the acceptable vehicle speed to approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) by limiting the engine power.
- During DPNR catalyst regeneration, the ECM monitors the learning value. Normally, the learning value for the DPNR catalyst regeneration is in the vicinity of 1.0. Thus if the learning value is at 1.99 or more for a certain period of time, the ECM judges the fuel addition volume from the injector is insufficient and illuminates the MIL. If this malfunction occurs, the ECM enters the fail-safe mode to limit the acceptable vehicle speed to approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) by limiting the engine power.
Fail-Safe Operation | Malfunction Condition | Malfunction Detection Condition | Drive Pattern |
No fail-safe operation | Low or excess fuel addition volume from the exhaust fuel addition injector | When the exhaust fuel addition injector adds fuel during NOx reduction, if actual air-fuel ratio deviates from a value estimated by the ECM when the exhaust fuel addition injector adds fuel | After warming up the engine perform DPNR REJU (PM) in the ACTIVE TEST menu using the intelligent tester, and drive at constant vehicle speed within 50 to 100 km/h (31 to 62 mph) for more than 15 minutes |
Limits engine power to maximum vehicle speed of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) | Exhaust fuel addition injector is stuck open | DPNR catalytic converter temperature becomes higher than 800°C (1,472°F) or air-fuel ratio is less than approximately 12,0: 1 for a couple of seconds | Idling engine for more than 5 minutes*5 |
Limits engine power to maximum vehicle speed of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph)
HINT: DPNR catalyst regeneration is prohibited
|
Low fuel addition volume from the exhaust fuel addition injector | During DPNR catalyst regeneration, when learning value of 1.99 or more continues for a certain period of time*6 | After warming up the engine perform DPNR REJU (PM) in the ACTIVE TEST menu using the intelligent tester, and drive at constant vehicle speed within 50 to 100 km/h (31 to 62 mph) for more than 30 minutes |
*5: The DPNR catalytic converter temperature will not reach 800°C (1,472°F) or higher during idle even if the exhaust fuel addition injector is stuck open.
*6: While the DPNR catalyst regeneration is performed, the ECM raises the DPNR catalytic converter temperature to more than 600°C (1,112°F) by adding fuel using the exhaust fuel addition injector. If the temperature does not reach 600 °C (1,112 °F) during the attempt, the correction learning value of the fuel addition volume increases by increments in order to raise the DPNR catalytic converter temperature to the target range.
