Testing & Diagnostics 13 illustrations ~3136 words

DESCRIPTION

The injection system used in the Toyota Camry Turbo Diesel and Corolla FWD Diesel includes a fuel injection pump, injection nozzles, fuel filter, fuel lines and glow plug system. The fuel filter includes an integral priming pump, fuel heater and a water/sediment level warning switch.

The glow plug system has a preheating timer (on right kick panel on Corolla; under center glove compartment on Camry). System also features 2 glow plug relays (located on right fender apron), a current sensor, speed sensor, glow indicator light, resistor and water temperature sensor.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP

The injection pump is driven by a belt at the front of the engine. (Scheme 42) It draws fuel from the tank, pressurizes it, and injects a specific quantity to each cylinder at the proper time. Excess fuel is returned to the tank through another line. The injection pump is not serviceable and should not be disassembled.

Note. Air conditioned vehicles have a vacuum unit that increases idle speed when the air conditioning is on.

INJECTION NOZZLES

The injection nozzles spray fuel into a prechamber as each compression stroke occurs. Each nozzle has a fuel supply and return line. Nozzles can be disassembled, cleaned and adjusted to correct defective spray patterns. (Scheme 43)

Shims are used to correct nozzle opening pressures, and are available in 43 sizes in increments of .001" (.025 mm) from .035-.077" (0.9-1.95 mm). Changing one size nozzle shim will change injection pressure by 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm 2 ). Never use more than one shim.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is a sealed cartridge type, located on the firewall. The cartridge should be changed at regular intervals. When replaced, it should be installed by hand, never with a wrench.

WATER-IN-FUEL WARNING SYSTEM

The fuel injection system includes a water and sediment filter in addition to the sealed cartridge filter. (Scheme 44) This unit traps water which may be present in the fuel system and holds it, preventing damage to the injection pump.

Fuel Filter and Water-In-Fuel Warning System. Scheme 44

Scheme 44: Fuel Filter and Water-In-Fuel Warning System

A warning light or buzzer signals when the water level is high enough to require draining. A float is lifted by the water level, causing a magnetic switch to close and provide continuity to the warning light or buzzer circuit. A small hand pump is provided so the water separator and filter can be purged of air.

GLOW PLUGS

The glow plug system uses a preheating timer and 2 relays to control glow plug current. (Scheme 48) The glow plugs enable the engine to start easily in cold weather and run smoothly during warm-up.

Current is applied to the glow plugs for a specific time which is determined by engine coolant temperature.

Scheme 45

Scheme 45: INJECTION PUMP TIMING
  1. Remove distributor head bolt on injection pump. Install special alignment tool (Toyota Part No. 09275-54010) and dial indicator to distributor head plug. (Scheme 45) (Scheme 45): Injection Pump Timing Install special tool and dial indicator as shown.
  2. Set No. 1 or No. 4 cylinder to 25-30° BTDC on compression stroke. Using a screwdriver, turn cold starting lever counterclockwise approximately 20°. Insert a metal bar.33-39" (8.5-10 mm) thick between cold starting lever and thermowax plunger.
  3. Set dial indicator at zero. Check to see that indicator stays at zero when crankshaft pulley is rocked slightly to left and right. Slowly turn pulley until No. 1 or No. 4 cylinder is at TDC.
  4. Injection timing (dial indicator plunger lift) should be.0315" (.80 mm).
  5. Loosen injection pipe union nuts and pump mounting bolts and nuts. Tilt pump body slightly, and recheck injection pump stroke. If stroke is less than specifications, tilt pump toward engine; if greater, tilt away from engine.
  6. When timing is correct, tighten pump mounting bolts, nuts and unions of fuel lines. Remove metal bar from cold starting lever. Remove tools, and install distributor head bolt and washer. Tighten to 12 ft. lbs. (17 N.m). Start engine and check for leaks.

IDLE & MAXIMUM SPEED

See TUNE-UP article in TUNE-UP section.

Opening Pressure

  1. Blow out any dirt around injection nozzles, then remove fuel lines and nozzles. Mark nozzles for correct installation.
  2. Install nozzle on pressure tester. Bleed air from union nut. Pump as hard as possible, several times, to clean out nozzle. Pump up pressure slowly and note when nozzle opens.
  3. Opening pressure should be 1920-2205 psi (135-155 kg/cm 2 ) for used nozzles; 2062-2205 psi (145-155 kg/cm 2 ) for new nozzles. There should be no dripping after injection.
  4. If pressure is not within these specifications, disassemble and clean nozzle. Change shims as necessary to obtain proper opening pressures. NOTE: Shims are available in 43 sizes in increments of .001" (.025 mm) from .035-.077" (0.9-1.95 mm). Changing nozzle shim by one size will change injection pressure by 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm 2 ). Never use more than one shim.
  5. Test nozzle again to ensure opening pressure is correct, then check for leakage.

Leakage Test

Pump pressure slowly until about 142-284 psi (10-20 kg/cm 2 ) BELOW nozzle opening pressure. Hold pressure for at least 10 seconds; no dripping should occur. If nozzle drips, disassemble and clean, or replace. Check spray pattern.

Spray Pattern

Increase pumping speed to 15-60 times per minute for used nozzle; 30-60 times per minute for new nozzles. At certain speeds, nozzle should "shudder" when spraying. Check spray pattern at this speed. If pattern is not correct, clean or replace nozzle. (Scheme 46)

Injection Nozzle Spray Patterns Install tester as shown. Scheme 46

Scheme 46: Injection Nozzle Spray Patterns Install tester as shown.

Nozzle Cleaning

  1. Disassemble nozzle holder. Wash parts in clean diesel fuel. Use a wooden stick to clean needle tip and soft brass brush to remove nozzle body deposits. Do not touch nozzle tip with fingers.
  2. Inspect nozzle seat and needle tip for damage or corrosion. Replace nozzle assembly if either is found. Do not touch nozzle mating surfaces with your fingers. Hold nozzle body at about 60° from horizontal, and insert needle.
  3. Pull needle up about one-third its length and allow to slide back down. Repeat several times, rotating needle between test. If needle does not slide down smoothly, replace nozzle assembly.

Indicator Light Circuit

  1. Be sure battery voltage is at least 12 volts. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Be sure engine cranks normally and that fusible link is okay. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position. At room temperature, indicator light should light for approximately 3.1 seconds on Corolla models; 2.6 seconds on Camry models. If not, check 7.5 amp fuse and indicator bulb. Repair or replace as necessary.
  2. If fuse and bulb are okay, check for battery voltage at terminal 4 of preheating timer connector (on wiring harness side). If voltage is not present, repair wiring. If present, replace preheating timer.

Scheme 47

Scheme 47: System Check
  1. With ignition switch in "ON" position, check for battery voltage at terminal 1 of preheating timer. (Scheme 48) On Camry, check battery voltage at terminal 1, just as ignition switch is turned "ON". If voltage is present, proceed to step 2). If no voltage is present, check for 1 volt at terminals 12 and terminal 6. If 1 volt is not present, replace glow plug current sensor. If 1 volt is present, replace preheating timer.
  2. Check that voltage at terminal 1 of preheating timer is no longer present after engine starts. If not, start engine and check if there is voltage at terminal 9 of timer. If not, repair main charging system. If okay, replace timer.
  3. If voltage is still present at terminal 1 after starting engine, turn ignition switch to "OFF" position and stop engine. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position and check that current flow to terminal 5 of timer is present according to coolant temperature chart. (Scheme 47) (Scheme 47): Preheating Time/Temperature Chart
  4. If no voltage is present, replace timer. If voltage is present for wrong time, disconnect temperature sensor at left rear of engine. Preheating duration should be 70 seconds. If connector is directly grounded, there is no continuity. If voltage is present for length of time, as described, replace water temperature sensor. If time is still incorrect, replace timer.
  5. If in step 3), voltage was present at terminal 5 for correct period of time, check for voltage at terminal 5 with ignition at "START" position. If no voltage, replace timer. If voltage is present, turn ignition switch "OFF" position.
  6. Turn ignition switch "ON". Check for voltage at glow plugs a few seconds later. If no voltage at all is indicated, check for battery voltage at positive side of glow plug current sensor (resistor side). If present, replace sensor. If not, replace No. 1 glow plug relay.
  7. In step 6), voltage at glow plugs should drop from 12 to 6 volts after a few seconds of operation. If not, check for battery voltage at positive side of resistor (intake manifold side). If present, replace resistor. If not, replace No. 2 glow plug relay.
  8. If all voltage measurements were correct in steps 6) and 7), check glow plug for continuity. If present, glow plug is okay. If no continuity is indicated, replace glow plug.

GLOW PLUG RELAYS

Connect ohmmeter leads to connector terminals E and g (near tab). (Scheme 49)and (Scheme 50). There should be continuity. Connect leads to terminals B and G. There should be no continuity. Apply battery voltage to terminals E and g. Continuity should now exist between terminals B and G. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay.

Solenoid Check

  1. Turn ignition switch "ON". Repeatedly connect and disconnect wire at fuel cut solenoid. If a clicking noise is heard, solenoid is okay.
  2. If no noise is heard, check 15 amp fuse. If blown, repair short and replace fuse. If fuse is good, apply battery voltage to solenoid and check for noise.
  3. If no clicking sound, replace solenoid. If sound is heard, check ignition switch and wiring harness from fuse to fuel cut solenoid.

FUEL HEATER

  1. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals. There should be more than.7 ohm at room temperature.
  2. Remove vacuum switch from fuel filter and check continuity between terminals. No continuity should exist. With vacuum of 7.8-11.8 in.Hg. (200-300 mmHg.), check that there is continuity between terminals. If switch fails either test, replace switch.
  3. To test fuel relay (located in left kick panel), Test for continuity between terminals 1 and 3. Check terminals 2 and 4 for no continuity. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay. (Scheme 52) To inspect relay operation, connect battery voltage between terminals 1 and 3. Check for continuity between 2 and 4. If operation is not as specified, replace relay.
