6E-302 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1)
EGR Control System Check
Description
The EGR system recirculates a part of exhaust gas
back into the intake manifold, which results in reducing
NOx emissions. The EGR control system uses an
electronic control system to ensure both driveability
and low emission. A control current from the ECM
operates a solenoid to control the lift amount of EGR
valve. Also, an EGR position sensor is provided at the
rear of the solenoid to feed actual valve lift amount
back to the ECM for more precision control.
The EGR control starts when the conditions for engine
speed, engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and barometric pressure are satisfied.
Then, the valve opening is calculated according to the
engine speed, and target fuel injection quantity. Based
on this valve opening, the drive duty of the solenoid is
determined and the valve is driven accordingly. The
intake throttle valve is provided to adequate intake
manifold depression to ensure EGR gas flow. EGR Control Operation
• The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 5°C (41 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F).
• The intake air temperature (IAT) is more than 5 °C
(41 °F).
• The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 90kPa (13psi).

6E-306 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1)
Glow Control System Check
Description
The glow control system consists of the ECM, the glow
relay, the glow indicator lamp and glow plugs. The glow
control system is operated when the engine coolant
temperature is low, which allows easier engine starting.
The ECM commands the glow relay ON for a certain
length of time at ignition switch is ON with engine OFF.
In after glow phase, the glow plugs remain energized
for a certain period with engine run.
Glow Control Operation • The glow indicator lamp illuminates between 0.5 seconds to 7 seconds depending upon the engine
coolant temperature. • The pre glow control system operates when the
engine coolant temperature is less than 30 °C
(86 °F).
• The after glow control system operates when the engine coolant temperature is less than 60 °C
(140 °F).
