DESCRIPTION

The D-4S system has two fuel injection methods. One is the in-cylinder direct injection method that directly injects pressurized fuel into the combustion chamber. The other is the intake port injection method. The ECM determines which fuel injection method to use in accordance with the engine conditions. For the in-cylinder direction injection method, the 2 injector drivers in the engine compartment operate the fuel injectors (for direct injection) at high speeds.

Each injector driver receives fuel injection request signals from the ECM and converts the signals to high voltage / high current injector operation signals to operate the fuel injectors (for direct injection). The fuel injection sequence occurs in the following order: No. 1, No. 8, No. 7, No. 3, No. 6, No. 5, No. 4, No. 2. The ECM monitors each injector driver at all times. If drivers or injectors are malfunctioning, the injector driver sends fuel injector operation condition fail signals (INJ1 to INJ4) to the ECM.

When the engine is cranked, a signal is sent from the main body ECU STSW terminal to the ECM STSW terminal. Then voltage travels from the ECM STAR terminal through the park/neutral position switch to the ST relay coil. The STAR terminal also sends a signal to the STA terminal. When the STA signal and NE signal are input to the ECM, the ECM internal transistor Tr1 turns ON, which causes power to be supplied to the C/OPN relay coil (C/OPN relay turns ON). As a result, the F/PMP relay actuates, which causes the fuel pump to operate. If the engine is operating and NE signals are being output, the ECM internal transistor Tr1 is kept ON (C/OPN relay turns ON), and the fuel pump will continue operating. The fuel pump has a high and low speed setting. When the engine is starting or operating with a heavy load, the ECM internal transistor Tr2 turns OFF so that the F/PMP relay will close and the fuel pump will operates at the high speed setting. When the engine is idling or operating with a light load, Tr2 turns ON, operating the F/PMP relay and causing current to flow through the fuel pump resistor to the fuel pump. This operates the fuel pump at the low speed setting.

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. Extremely high hydrocarbons concentration levels can cause an increase in exhaust emission levels. High concentrations of hydrocarbons can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter temperature, which may cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire count. When the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter reaches the point of thermal degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds.

Scheme 284: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic)

  1. Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfire count (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
  2. After the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions, an excessive misfire count (approximately 20 to 60 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs 4 times in sequential crankshaft revolutions.

The ECM flashes the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause the three-way catalytic converter damage, is detected (2 trip detection logic)

  1. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a high engine rpm, the threshold misfire percentage is recorded once.
  2. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a normal engine rpm, the threshold misfire percentage is recorded 3 times.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Record the DTC(s) and freeze frame data.
  5. Using the Techstream, switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode. Refer to «CHECK MODE PROCEDURE»(/lexus/is-f/i-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-diagnostics-introduction__check-mode-procedure) .
  6. Read the misfire counts of each cylinder (Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #8 Misfire Count) with the engine in an idling condition. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.
  7. Drive the vehicle several times with the conditions, such as engine rpm and engine load, shown in Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List. HINT: In order to store misfire DTCs, it is necessary to operate the vehicle for the period of time shown in the table below, using the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List. Engine RPM Duration Idling 8 minutes or more 1000 4 minutes or more 2000 2 minutes or more 3000 1.5 minute or more
  8. Check whether misfires have occurred by checking DTCs and freeze frame data. HINT: Do not turn the engine switch off until the stored DTC(s) and freeze frame data have been recorded. When the ECM returns to normal mode (default), the stored DTC(s), freeze frame data and other data will be erased.
  9. Record the DTC(s), freeze frame data and misfire counts.
  10. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 5 seconds.

HINT

  1. If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
  3. If the misfire does not recur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, reproduce the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data.
  4. If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data have been reproduced, one of the following factors is considered to be a possible cause of the problem: There was insufficient fuel in the tank. Improper fuel is used. The spark plugs have been contaminated. The problem requires further diagnosis.
  5. After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders (Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #8 Misfire Count).
  6. Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are set again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.
  7. For 8 cylinder engine, the ECM intentionally does not set the specific misfiring cylinder DTCs at high engine speed. If misfires occur only in high engine speed areas, only DTC P0300 is set. In the event of DTC P0300 being present, perform the following operations: Clear DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/lexus/is-f/i-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) . Start the engine and conduct the confirmation driving pattern. Read the misfire count of each cylinder or DTC(s) using the Techstream. Repair the cylinder(s) that has a high misfiring count or is indicated by the DTC. After finishing repairs, conduct the confirmation driving pattern again, in order to verify that DTC P0300 is not set.
  8. When one of Short FT #1, Long FT #1, Short FT #2 or Long FT #2 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-20%, the air fuel ratio may be Rich (-20% or less) or Lean (+20% or more).
  9. When the Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is less than 75°C (167°F), the misfire have occurred only while warming up the engine.
  10. An extremely unbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs to be detected.

A flat type knock sensor (non-resonant type) has a structure that can detect vibrations between approximately 6 kHz and 15 kHz.

Knock sensors are fitted onto the engine block to detect engine knocking.

The knock sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed.

The voltage is generated when the engine block vibrates due to knocking. Any occurrence of engine knocking can be suppressed by delaying the ignition timing.

When any of DTCs P0327, P0328, P032C, P032D, P0332, P0333, P033C and P033D are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is delayed to its maximum retardation. Fail-safe mode continues until the engine switch is turned off.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The knock sensor, located on the cylinder block, detects spark knock. When spark knock occurs, the piezoelectric element of the sensor vibrates. When the ECM detects a voltage in this frequency range, it retards the ignition timing to suppress the spark knock.

The ECM also senses background engine noise with the knock sensor and uses this noise to check for faults in the sensor. If the knock sensor signal level is too low for more than 10 seconds, or if the knock sensor output voltage is outside the normal range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the knock sensor and sets a DTC.

The VVT sensors use a timing rotor (installed on each camshaft) and a magnetic resistance Element type VVT sensor. The timing rotor (camshaft) has 3 protrusions. When it rotates, the magnetic vector (direction of magnetic field) applied to the VVT sensor magnetic resistance element varies, which causes its resistance to vary. This varying resistance is converted to voltage, and then modified into a rectangular waveform with Hi (approximately 4 V) and Lo (approximately 1 V) outputs. As a result, the actual camshaft position is detected and the position is output to the ECM.

A direct ignition system is used on this vehicle.

The direct ignition system is a ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil and spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. The sparks of the spark plugs pass from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.

The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition signals (IGT) to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM, for each cylinder ignition.

The VVT sensors use a timing rotor (installed on each camshaft) and a magnetic resistance element type VVT sensor. The timing rotor (camshaft) has 3 protrusions. When it rotates, the magnetic vector (direction of magnetic field) applied to the VVT sensor magnetic resistance element varies, which causes its resistance to vary. This varying resistance is converted to voltage, and then modified into a rectangular waveform with Hi (approximately 4 V) and Lo (approximately 1 V) outputs. As a result, the actual camshaft position is detected and the position is output to the ECM.

The ECM uses sensors mounted in front of and behind the three way catalytic converter to monitor its efficiency.

The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.

In order to detect any deterioration in the three way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control, rather than the conventional detecting method, which uses the locus ratio.

The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If a rich-lean cycle of the heated oxygen sensor is long, the oxygen storage capacity becomes greater. There is a direct correlation between the oxygen storage capacities of the heated oxygen sensor and the three way catalytic converter.

The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, it illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

Unit expressions

  1. [kPa-a (mmHg-a)] denotes the absolute pressure.
  2. [kPa-g (mmHg-g)] denotes the gauge pressure (relative pressure).
  3. On the Techstream, convert the unit of measurement according to the inspection procedure.

Refer to the EVAP System. Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE .

5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT

*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

SequenceOperationDescriptionDuration
ECM activationActivated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after engine switch turned off.
AAtmospheric pressure measurementVent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.60 seconds
BFirst reference pressure measurementIn order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally.60 seconds
CEVAP system pressure measurementVent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then measured. Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check. If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.15 minutes*
DPurge VSV monitorPurge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normality.10 seconds
ESecond reference pressure measurementAfter second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second reference pressure. If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking.60 seconds
Final checkAtmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM.

*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

Scheme 324

Scheme 324

The leak detection pump creates negative pressure through the reference orifice. When the system is normal, the EVAP pressure is 724 to 752 mmHg* and saturated within a minute. If not, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC if this malfunction is detected in consecutive drive cycles.

*: Typical value.

The two monitors, key-off and purge flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTC P0441. The key-off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.

  1. KEY-OFF MONITOR 5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure. HINT: *: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later. Sequence Operation Description Duration - ECM activation Activated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after engine switch turned off. - A Atmospheric pressure measurement Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor. 60 seconds B First reference pressure measurement In order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally. 60 seconds C EVAP system pressure measurement Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then measured. Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check. If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor. 15 minutes * D Purge VSV monitor Purge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normality. 10 seconds E Second reference pressure measurement After second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second reference pressure. If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking. 60 seconds - Final check Atmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM. - *: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize. Purge VSV stuck open In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic). Purge VSV stuck closed In operation D, the canister pressure sensor measures the EVAP system pressure. The pressure measurement for the purge VSV monitor is begun when the purge VSV is turned ON (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa-g (2.25 mmHg-g) or more, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
  2. PURGE FLOW MONITOR The purge flow monitor consists of the two step monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
  1. The 1st monitor While the engine is running and the purge VSV is ON (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
  2. The 2nd monitor The vent valve is turned ON (closed) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.3 kPa-g (2.25 mmHg-g), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and sets DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic).

Atmospheric pressure check

In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

Scheme 331

Scheme 331: MONITOR DESCRIPTION
  1. DTC P0451: Canister pressure sensor noise or fixed/flat If the canister pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as noise from the canister pressure sensor, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC. Alternatively, if the sensor voltage output does not change for 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as the sensor being fixed/flat, and stops the monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC. (Both the malfunctions are detected by 2 trip detection logic).
  2. DTC P0452: Canister pressure sensor voltage low If the canister pressure sensor voltage output [pressure] is below 0.45 V [42.1 kPa-a (315.9 mmHg-a)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit malfunction in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).
  3. DTC P0453: Canister pressure sensor voltage high If the canister pressure sensor voltage output [pressure] is more than 4.9 V [123.8 kPa-a (928.4 mmHg-a)] , the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit malfunction in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (1 trip detection logic).

Note. The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 5 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes. Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable. Do not run the engine during this operation. When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control ECU. The skid control ECU converts these wheel speed signals into a 4-pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM via the combination meter. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.

P0500While vehicle being driven, no vehicle speed sensor signal to ECM. (1-trip detection logic)Open or short in speed signal circuit Combination meter ECM Skid control ECU

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the transmission counter gear indicates more than 300 rpm and over 30 seconds have passed since the park/neutral position switch was turned OFF. If there is no signal from the vehicle speed sensor with these conditions satisfied, the ECM concludes that the vehicle speed sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC will be set.

This monitor will run when the engine is started at -10 to 60°C (14 to 140°F) of the engine coolant temperature. The DTC will set after the engine idling for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).

The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at lower than 60°C (140°F) of the engine coolant temperature, the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow at the engine idling. If it does not reach the criteria within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).

The electronic throttle control system controls the idle speed. The electronic throttle control system operates the throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle speed.

Note. When the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected during inspection or repairs, the idle speed control learned values are cleared. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored. To perform idle speed control learning, the engine must be warmed up by allowing it to idle for 5 minutes. For idle speed control learning to be successful, when the engine is started to warm it up. There must be at least 10 seconds of idling with the coolant temperature below 30 °C (86°F) before allowing it to continue running for the 5 minute learning period.
