6E-44 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Lost Communication with The Engine Control Module (ECM)
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM), transmission control
module (TCM) and electronic hydraulic control unit
(EHCU) all communicate with the scan tool over the
Keyword 2000 serial data link. However, the ECM and
fuel injection pump control unit (PCU) communicates
with each other over the controller area network (CAN)
link. The CAN link is not used for communication with
the scan tool and is shared only between the ECM and
PCU.

Engine Cranks but Does Not Run
Description
The Engine Cranks but Does Not Run diagnostic table
is an organized approach to identifying a condition that
causes an engine to not start. The diagnostic table
directs the service technician to the appropriate system
diagnosis. The diagnostic table assumes the following
conditions are met:
• The battery is completely charged and terminals
are cleaned and tight.
• The engine cranking speed is normal.
• There is adequate fuel in the fuel tank.
• There is no fuel leak in the fuel line.
• There is no air in the fuel line.
• Filters (Air, Fuel) are clean.
• Fuse and slow blow fuse are normal.

Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.

tool Data List or a known good vehicle to
determine normal values. • System Voltage
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
• Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
• Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

4 1. Inspect the high pressure side between the fuel
injection pump and the fuel injection nozzles for
fuel leakage. The following components may
contain an external leak. • Fuel injection pump
• Fuel injection pump control unit (PCU)
• Fuel injection solenoid valve
• Timing control valve (TCV)
• Constant pressure valve (CPV)
• Fuel pipe between the fuel injection pump
and fuel injection nozzles
• Each fuel pipe sleeve nuts
• Each fuel pipe connectors
• Each gaskets
Notice: Fuel may leak into the engine from the fuel
injection pump. In such case, the engine oil level will
rise. Inspect for fuel leakage into the engine oil.
2. Repair any fuel system leaks as necessary.
Did you find and correct the condition? 

Go to Step 10 Go to Step 5
5 1. Turn OFF the ignition. 2. Check the fuel system line connections between the fuel tank and the fuel injection pump for
tightness and all fuel hoses for cuts, cracks and
for the use of proper clamps.
3. Pump the priming pump on the fuel filter until it becomes firm. If there is a leak on the suction
side of the fuel system between the priming
pump and the fuel injection pump, the priming
pump will not build up sufficient firmness and fuel
leakage may occur.
4. Repair or replace as necessary.
Did you find and correct the condition? 

Go to Step 10 Go to Step 6
6 1. Remove the fuel hose that connects to the fuel injection pump suction side.
2. Remove the fuel pipe connector that connects to the fuel injection pump suction side.
3. Inspect the eye bolt for any type of restriction or collapsed gauze filter.
Notice: If any type of restriction found, check for a
condition that causes contaminated fuel, such as the
customer is using an aftermarket fuel filter or
extended maintenance interval.Also inspect fuel
waxing or icing that is caused by an incorrect fuel
type used in winter season or water intrusion in the
fuel system.
4. Repair or replace as necessary.

7 1. Disconnect the fuel hose that connects to the
fuel injection pump suction side. In order to
measure the discharged fuel amount, put the
hose into a bottle or a container.
2. Pump the priming pump on the fuel filter.
Notice: If there is a leak on the suction side of the
fuel system, the fuel from the disconnected hose will
not flow out sufficiently and fuel leakage may occur.
Also if there is a restriction on the suction side of the
fuel system, the fuel from the disconnected hose will
not flow out sufficiently that is most likely caused by
clogged fuel filter or kinked fuel hose or pipe.
3. Draw fuel from the fuel tank at the fuel line (as close to the fuel tank as possible) going to the
fuel pickup tube to verify a clean stream of fuel
comes out (use the hand-held vacuum pump 5-
8840-0279-0/J-23738-A with a clear hose or
equivalent). This will ensure the fuel pickup tube
is not cracked drawing air into the fuel line.
4. Repair any fuel system leaks and restrictions as necessary.

Go to Step 10 Go to Step 8
8 1. Other possible causes for the no-start condition: • Fuel injection pump mechanical timing
incorrect
• Flywheel installed incorrectly causing the
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to be
incorrectly timed to the engine. Disconnect
sensor and attempt to start engine to verify.
• Heavily restricted intake, exhaust or
catalytic converter plugged solid
• Poor engine compression
• W ater or gasoline contamination in fuel
2. Repair or replace as necessary.
Did you find and correct the condition? 

Go to Step 10 Go to Step 9
9 Important: The fuel injection pump must be timed to
the engine.

Injection Pump Replacement in engine mechanical
section.

connector(s).
2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
