Do not judge the vehicle to be normal even when the Data List values indicate a standard level. There are possibly some concealed factors of the malfunction.
  2. Check that the vehicle has not been modified in any way prior to the vehicle inspection.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. This troubleshooting procedure checks for knocking and rattling.
  2. Knocking is most likely to occur while the engine is idling.
NOTICE:
  1. After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012XK030X.html) and initialization (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012X2005X.html).
  2. After replacing the fuel supply pump, the ECM needs initialization (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012X2005X.html).
  3. After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012XK030X.html).
1.CHECK SOUND AREA

  1. Find the source of the abnormal sound using a mechanic's stethoscope.

3.CHECK INJECTOR COMPENSATION CODE
NOTICE:
Injector compensation codes are unique, 30-digit, alphanumeric values printed on the head portion of each injector assembly. If an incorrect injector compensation code is input into the ECM, the engine may rattle or engine idling may become rough. In addition, engine failure may occur and the life of the engine may be shortened.

  1. Check the injector compensation code (Toyota Fortuner RM000002SXZ00QX.html).

    OK:
    Compensation codes of the installed injector assemblies are the same as the compensation codes registered in the ECM.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data.

  1. Take a snapshot of the following Data List items.

    HINT:
    1. A snapshot can be used to compare vehicle data from the time of the malfunction to normal data and is very useful for troubleshooting. The data in the list below is that of a normal vehicle, but as the data varies between individual vehicles, this data should only be used for reference.
    2. Graphs like the ones shown below can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot data from the tester to a PC. Intelligent Viewer must be installed on the PC.
    3. Check the Data List at idling and at 4000 rpm with no load after the engine is warmed up.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Start the engine and turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data.

Go to step 14

B
Go to step 23

11.REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS OF ALL CYLINDERS

  1. Replace the fuel injectors (Toyota Fortuner RM000002SY100QX.html).

    NOTICE:
    1. When replacing the injector assembly for a cylinder, always be sure to use a new injection pipe.
    2. Follow the procedure in the repair manual and temporarily install the injection pipes and nozzle leakage pipe, and then correctly position the injector assemblies. After that, tighten parts according to the torque specifications.
    3. If the installation procedure is not performed correctly, injector assemblies may become out of position, which may cause the injector assemblies to deteriorate, resulting in malfunctions.
    4. If an injector assembly deteriorates and malfunctions, other problems such as knocking, rough idle, etc. may occur.
    5. If an injector assembly becomes out of position, it is possible that the seal between the injector assembly and injection pipe may become incomplete, resulting in a fuel leak.


NEXT
Go to step 15

12.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK THE CYLINDER COMPRESSION)
HINT:
Use this Active Test to help determine whether a cylinder has compression loss or not.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Start the engine and turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Check the Cylinder Compression / Data List / Compression / Engine Speed of Cyl #1 to #4.

  1. Check the engine speed during the Active Test.

    Result
    Result
    		Proceed to
    Except below
    		A
    The values of Engine Speed Cyl #1 to #4 are within +/-10 rpm of each other.
    		B

    HINT:
    When cranking, if the speed of a cylinder is approximately 100 rpm more than the other cylinders, there is probably a complete loss of compression in that cylinder.


B
Go to step 14
A


13.CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE

  1. Check the cylinder compression pressure (Toyota Fortuner RM000001473004X_01_0002.html).

    HINT:
    When compression is low, there may be cracks in the piston or the injector may be installed improperly.


NG
CHECK ENGINE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF LOW COMPRESSION
OK


14.REPLACE INJECTOR ASSEMBLY OF MALFUNCTIONING CYLINDER

  1. Replace the injector assembly of the malfunctioning cylinder (Toyota Fortuner RM000002SY100QX.html).

    NOTICE:
    1. When replacing the injector assembly for a cylinder, always be sure to use a new injection pipe.
    2. Follow the procedure in the repair manual and temporarily install the injection pipes and nozzle leakage pipe, and then correctly position the injector assemblies. After that, tighten parts according to the torque specifications.
    3. If the installation procedure is not performed correctly, injector assemblies may become out of position, which may cause the injector assemblies to deteriorate, resulting in malfunctions.
    4. If an injector assembly deteriorates and malfunctions, other problems such as knocking, rough idle, etc. may occur.
    5. If an injector assembly becomes out of position, it is possible that the seal between the injector assembly and injection pipe may become incomplete, resulting in a fuel leak.

15.CLEAN OR REPLACE FUEL FILTER

  1. Clean the interior of the fuel filter case.

  1. If the fuel filter is obviously dirty or clogged, replace the fuel filter.


NEXT


16.REGISTER INJECTOR COMPENSATION CODE AND PERFORM PILOT QUANTITY LEARNING

  1. Perform the fuel injector pilot quantity learning (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012XK030X_02_0009.html).


NEXT


17.BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM

  1. Bleed the air from the fuel system (Toyota Fortuner RM0000014FK006X_01_0002.html).


NEXT


18.CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED

  1. Check whether the knocking has been successfully repaired.


NEXT

END

19.REPLACE FUEL SUPPLY PUMP

  1. Replace the fuel supply pump (Toyota Fortuner RM0000014FO006X.html).

    HINT:
    If the common rail pressure becomes too high when transitioning due to problems with SCV operation, knocking noise worsens.

NEXT


20.BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM

  1. Bleed the air from the fuel system (Toyota Fortuner RM0000014FK006X_01_0002.html).


NEXT


21.PERFORM FUEL SUPPLY PUMP INITIALIZATION

END

23.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (MAP AND ATMOSPHERE PRESSURE)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAP and Atmosphere Pressure.

  1. Compare MAP to Atmosphere Pressure when the ignition switch is ON (do not start the engine).

    Standard:
    Difference between MAP and Atmosphere Pressure is less than 8 kPa.
    HINT:
    1. If MAP and Atmosphere Pressure have the same value, both are normal. If there is a difference of 8 kPa or more, compare the values to the atmospheric pressure for that day. The sensor whose deviation is the greatest is malfunctioning.
    2. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in elevation, pressure drops by 1 kPa. This varies by weather.

    Result
    Result
    		Proceed to
    MAP and Atmosphere Pressure have same value
    		A
    MAP is different from actual atmospheric pressure
