High Pressure Fuel Circuit
In addition high pressure generating device, the high
pressure circuit also consists of fuel piping, and devices
to set the beginning of injection and fuel injection
quantity.
The main components are as follows.
High pressure generation: Radial Plunger High
Pressure Pump
Fuel distribution: Distributor Head
Beginning of injection timing: Timing Device
Prevention of secondary injection: Constant Pressure
Valve (CPV)
Pump Camshaft Speed Sensor
When the drive shaft rotates, the pump camshaft speed
sensor receives signal form the sensor wheel, and an
electric pulse is sent through the flex ible connecting
harness to the pump control unit (PSG).
From these signals the pump control unit (PSG) can
determine the average pump speed and the momentary
pump speed.
The pump camshaft speed sensor is mounted to the
cam ring. Thus, the relationship between the cam ring
and the pump camshaft speed sensor signal is
constant. (1) Pump Control Unit (PSG)

The pump camshaft speed sensor signal is utilized for
the following purposes.
To determine the momentary angular position of the
cam ring.
To calculate the actual speed of the fuel injection pump.
To determine the actual timing plunger position.
The pump camshaft sensor signal has a tooth gap, and
the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor on the flywheel
housing is used as a reference signal of engine top
dead center (TDC) for the start timing of fuel delivery or
injection which is to be set.High Pressure Solenoid Valve
Fuel injection quantity control is performed from the
beginning of pressure delivery at the beginning of cam
lift until the high pressure solenoid valve opens at the
end of pressure delivery.
This interval is called the pressure delivery interval.
Accordingly, the interval that the high pressure solenoid
valve is closed determines the fuel injection quantity
(high pressure fuel supply ends when the high pressure
solenoid valve opens).

When current from the pump control unit (PSG) flows to
the high pressure solenoid valve coil, the magnet
anchor (a movable iron core) pushes the valve needle,
toward the valve seat.
When the valve seat is completely closed by the valve
needle, the way, of the fuel in the high pressure
passage to the low pressure circuit is closed.
The pressure of the fuel in the high pressure passage is
rapidly increased by radial plunger lift, and the high
pressure fuel is delivered through the constant pressure
valve (CPV) to the nozzle holder assembly and is
injected into the engine cylinder.
When the fuel injection quantity demanded by the
engine is reached, the current to the coil is cut and the
valve needle re-opens the valve seat.
As a result of this, a path is opened for the fuel in the
high pressure passage to the low pressure circuit and
the pressure decreases. With a decrease in injection
pressure the nozzle closes and injection ends.Timing Control Valve (TCV)
The pressure of the fuel fed from the feed pump is
adjusted in accordance with speed by the regulating
valve. This delivery pressure acts on the hydraulic
stopper's annular chamber as control pressure.
The chamber pressure of the annular chamber is
controlled by the timing control valve (TCV).
The timing plunger is connected to the cam ring by a
ball pin. Ax ial movement of the timing plunger is
transferred to the cam ring in the form of rotational
movement. Movement to the right of the timing plunger
(to the spring side) advances injection timing. (1) Valve Needle

4JA1/4JH1 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E–75
When control current flows to the timing control valve
(TCV) coil, the valve needle opens and the fuel annular
chamber flows through the orifice to the feed pump inlet.
Consequently, the pressure of the annular chamber
decreases and the hydraulic stopper is moved to the
retard side.
The timing control valve (TCV) acts as a variable
throttle, using the rapid opening and closing (cycling) of
the valve needle in the timing control valve (TCV).
At normal operation, the TCV controls the pressure
acting on the annular chamber so that the hydraulic
stopper cam move to any position, from the retard
position to the advance position. At this time, the duty
ratio is set by the pump control unit (PSG).
Duty ratio is the ratio of the time that the timing control
valve (TCV) is opened to one complete timing control
valve (TCV) operating cycle. A duty ratio change of
100% to 0% is an advance in injection timing. (The
VP44 displays an ON duty ratio.)The engine control module (ECM) contains
characteristic maps of the start of injection,
corresponding to engine operating conditions (engine
load, engine speed and engine coolant temperature).
The pump control unit (PSG) is constantly comparing
the set start of injection timing and the actual start of
injection timing. If there is a difference, the timing
control valve (TCV) is controlled by the duty ratio. (The
actual start of injection timing is determined from the
pump camshaft speed sensor.) (1) Coil

Essential and special tools
5c. Technician Self Diagnoses
When there is no DTC stored and no matching
symptom for the condition identified in the service
manual, you must begin with a thorough understanding
of how the system(s) operates. Efficient use of the
service manual combined with you ex perience and a
good process of elimination will result in accurate
diagnosis of the condition.
What you should do
Step 1: Identify and understand the suspect
circuit(s)
Having completed steps 1 through 4 of the Strategy
Based Diagnostics chart, you should have enough
information to identify the system(s) or sub-system(s)
involved. Using the service manual, you should
determine and investigate the following circuit
characteristics:
Electrical:
–How is the circuit powered (power distribution
charts and/or fuse block details)?
–How is the circuit grounded (ground distribution
charts)?
–How is the circuit controlled or sensed (theory of
operation):
–If it is a switched circuit, is it normally open or
normally closed?
–Is the power switched or is the ground
switched?
–Is it a variable resistance circuit (ECT sensor
or TP sensor, for ex ample)?
–Is it a signal generating device (MAF sensor of
VSS, for example)?
–Does it rely on some mechanical/vacuum
device to operate?
Physical:
–Where are the circuit components (component
locators and wire harness routing diagrams):
–Are there areas where wires could be chafed
or pinched (brackets or frames)?
–Are there areas subjected to ex treme
temperatures?

4JA1/4JH1 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E–79
–Are there areas subjected to vibration or
movement (engine, transmission or
suspension)?
–Are there areas ex posed to moisture, road salt
or other corrosives (battery acid, oil or other
fluids)?
–Are there common mounting areas with other
systems/components?
–Have previous repairs been performed to wiring,
connectors, components or mounting areas
(causing pinched wires between panels and
drivetrain or suspension components without
causing and immediate problem)?
–Does the vehicle have aftermarket or dealer-
installed equipment (radios, telephone, etc.)
Step 2: Isolate the problem
At this point, you should have a good idea of what could
cause the present condition, as well as could not cause
the condition. Actions to take include the following:
Divide (and separate, where possible) the system or
circuit into smaller sections
Confine the problem to a smaller area of the vehicle
(start with main harness connections while removing
panels and trim as necessary in order to eliminate
large vehicle sections from further investigation)
For two or more circuits that do not share a common
power or ground, concentrate on areas where
harnesses are routed together or connectors are
shared (refer to the following hints)
Hints
Though the symptoms may vary, basic electrical failures
are generally caused by:
Loose connections:
–Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors or grounds
Incorrect connector/harness routing (usually in new
vehicles or after a repair has been made):
–Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors of grounds
Corrosion and wire damage:
–Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors of grounds
Component failure:
–Opens/short and high resistance in relays,
modules, switches or loads
Aftermarket equipment affecting normal operation of
other systems
You may isolate circuits by:
Unplugging connectors or removing a fuse to
separate one part of the circuit from another part
Operating shared circuits and eliminating those that
function normally from the suspect circuit
If only one component fails to operate, begin testingat the component
If a number of components do no operate, begin tests
at the area of commonality (such as power sources,
ground circuits, switches or major connectors)
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following
resources to assist in the diagnostic process:
Service manual
Technical equipment (for data analysis)
Ex perience
Technical Assistance
Circuit testing tools
5d. Intermittent Diagnosis
By definition, an intermittent problem is one that does
not occur continuously and will occur when certain
conditions are met. All these conditions, however, may
not be obvious or currently known. Generally,
intermittents are caused by:
Faulty electrical connections and wiring
Malfunctioning components (such as sticking relays,
solenoids, etc.)
EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic/radio frequency
interference)
Aftermarket equipment
Intermittent diagnosis requires careful analysis of
suspected systems to help prevent replacing good
parts. This may involve using creativity and ingenuity to
interpret customer complaints and simulating all
ex ternal and internal system conditions to duplicate the
problem.
What you should do
Step 1: A cquire information
A thorough and comprehensive customer check sheet
is critical to intermittent problem diagnosis. You should
require this, since it will dictate the diagnostic starting
point. The vehicle service history file is another
source for accumulating information about the
complaint.
Step 2: A nalyze the intermittent problem
Analyze the customer check sheet and service history
file to determine conditions relevant to the suspect
system(s).
Using service manual information, you must identify,
trace and locate all electrical circuits related to the
malfunctioning system(s). If there is more than one
system failure, you should identify, trace and locate
areas of commonality shared by the suspect circuits.
