The amount of fuel leaking at or around high-pressure parts inside the fuel injection pump varies with the fuel
temperature and engine speed. This will result in a difference between the target amount of fuel injected and
the actual amount. The ECM compensates for the actual amount depending on the signal obtained from the
fuel temperature sensor.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves acceleration when the air conditioner is used.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the air conditioner is turned off for a few seconds. When engine
coolant temperature becomes excessively high, the air conditioner is turned off. This continues until the cool-
ant temperature returns to normal.

Component Description
INJECTION TIMING CONTROL VALVE
The injection timing control valve is built into the fuel injection
pump. It controls the timer piston to change the fuel injection tim-
ing.
The timing control valve is a solenoid valve located in the line
between high-pressure chamber and low-pressure chamber. It
changes fuel pressure in the high-pressure chamber.
When current flows through the solenoid (the solenoid turns ON),
the timing control valve opens, advancing fuel injection timing.
When current does not flow through it, the timing control valve
closes, retarding injection timing.
The ECM emits an ON-OFF duty signal. The longer the OFF-
duration, the greater the advance angle. The longer the
ON-duration, the greater the retard angle. This means that chang-
ing the ON-OFF duty ratio makes it possible to achieve an optimal
advance angle and accurately control fuel injection timing.

WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Wait at least 2 seconds.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Wait at least 2 seconds.

Component Description
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (TDC)
The crankshaft position sensor (TDC) monitors engine speed by
means of signals from the sensing plate (with four protrusions)
installed to the clutch housing. The datum signal output is detected
at ATDC 30É and sent to the ECM. The sensor signal is used for
fuel injection control and fuel injection timing control.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
IIf DTC P1240 is displayed same time, perform trouble diag-
nosis for DTC P1240 first.
IBefore performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 9V.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position and select ªDATA MONI-
TORº mode with CONSULT-II.
2) Start engine and run it for at least 3 seconds at above 1,200
rpm.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Start engine and run it for at least 3 seconds at above 1,200
rpm.
2) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position, wait at least 5 seconds
and then turn to ªONº position.
3) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode IIº (Self-diagnostic results).

ECMEGlow relayEGlow plugs
Ignition switchEStart signalEGlow lamp
IPre-glow
When the ignition switch is turned on the ON position, the glow
indicator lamp will turn ON and pre-glow starts.
The glow relay is turned ON continuously. The ON time of both
the glow indicator lamp and the glow relay is determined by the
engine coolant temperature. Pre-glow ends when the pre-glow
time elapses or when the engine is started.
IIntermediate glow
Intermediate glow starts when the pre-glow time has elapsed
and the engine has not been started. The glow relay is turned
ON intermittently. Intermediate glow ends when the intermedi-
ate glow time has elapsed, or when the engine is started.
IAfter-glow
After-glow starts as soon as the engine is running and the
engine coolant temperature is below 50ÉC (122ÉF). The glow
relay is turned on continuously. After-glow ends when the after-
glow time elapses, or when the engine coolant temperature
exceeds 50ÉC (122ÉF).

System Operation Check
Set voltmeter between glow plug and engine body.
1. Pre-glow control
a. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
b. Read voltage and time.
Battery voltage will continuously appear for about 20*
seconds after ignition switch is turned ªONº.
* Engine coolant temperature is higher than 20ÉC
(68ÉF).
* Repeatedly turning the ignition switch to ªONº posi-
tion and then back to ªLOCKº position may change
the glow time.
2. Intermediate-glow control
a. Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position. Wait at least 5 seconds.
b. Turn ignition switch to ªONº.
c. Read voltage.
Battery voltage will intermittently appear for about 60
seconds after pre-glow control time has elapsed.
3. After-glow control
Start engine and read voltage and time.
Battery voltage will appear for max. 10 minutes.
When engine coolant temperature is lower than 50ÉC
(122ÉF).
