Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-239
Glow Control System Check
Description
The glow control system consists of the engine control
module (ECM), the glow relay and glow plugs. The glo
w
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 fo
r
a certain period with engine run.


Glow Control Operation
•
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).

6E-242 Engine Control System (4JH1)
DTC A/C Compressor System Check
Description
W hen air conditioning (A/C) and blower fan are
selected, and if the system has a sufficient refrigerant
charge. A 12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request
input of the Engine Control Module (ECM). The A/C
request signal may be temporarily canceled during
system operation by the electronic thermostat in the
evaporator to prevent the evaporator icing. Also, it is
cancelled when the pressure switch detected abnormal
pressure in the line. W hen the A/C request signal is
received by the ECM, the ECM supplies a ground from
the A/C compressor relay if the engine operating
conditions are within acceptable ranges. W ith the A/C
compressor relay energized, voltage is supplied to the
compressor clutch coil. The ECM will enable the
compressor clutch to engage whenever A/C has been
selected with the engine running and enable conditions
are met.
Condition for Running the A/C Compressor:
• The engine is running.
• The A/C switch is ON.
• The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than
105 °C(221 °F).

Important:
The following symptom tables contain groups o
f
possible causes for each symptom. The order of these
procedures is not important. If the scan tool readings do
not indicate the problems, then proceed in a logical
order, easiest to check or most likely to cause first. In
order to determine if a specific vehicle is using a
particular system or component, refer to Engine
Controls Schematics for an application.
Use the following tables when diagnosing a symptom
complaint:
• Intermittent Conditions
• Hard Start
• Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle and Stalling
• Cuts Out, Misses
• Surge/Chuggles
• Lack of Power, Sluggishness, or Sponginess
• Hesitation, Sag, Stumble
• Fuel Knock/Combustion Noise
• Poor Fuel Economy
• Excessive Smoke (Black Smoke)
• Excessive Smoke (W hite Smoke)



Intermittent Conditions
Checks Action
DEFINITION:The problem is not currently present but is indicated in DTC History.
OR
There is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot currently be duplicated, if the problem is not DTC related.
Preliminary Checks • Refer to Symptoms – Engine Controls before starting.
Harness/Connector Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector
movement that is caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc.
Test for this type of condition by performing the applicable procedure from the
following list:
• Move related connectors and wiring while monitoring the appropriate scan tool data.
• Move related connectors and wiring with the component commanded ON, and OFF,
with the scan tool. Observe the component operation.
• W ith the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while monitoring
engine operation.
If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed, component/system
operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
Refer to Electrical Connections or W iring.

6E-258 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Checks Action
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
and Electrical Noise Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to EMI or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
• A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as
injection components, motors, generator etc. These components may induce
electrical noise on a circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or the engine control
module (ECM) driven solenoid or switch. These conditions can cause a sharp
electrical surge. Normally, the problem will occur when the malfunctioning
component is operating.
• Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights,
2-way radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell
phones, etc. These accessories may lead to an emission related failure while in use,
but do not fail when the accessories are not in use.
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes.
Some relays may contain a clamping diode.
• Test the generator for a bad rectifier bridge that may be allowing AC noise into the
electrical system.
Incorrect ECM Programming • There are only a few situations where reprogramming a ECM is appropriate:
Important:
DO NOT reprogram the ECM with the SAME software/calibration files that are already
present in the ECM. This is not an effective repair for any type of driveability problem. - A ECM from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
• Verify that the ECM contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect
programming is found, reprogram the ECM with the most current
software/calibration.
Duplicating Failure Conditions • If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the
failure conditions.
• An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected
circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the problem occurs, may help you
locate the problem.
scan tool Snapshot The scan tool can be set up to take a Snapshot of the parameters available via serial
data. The Snapshot function records live data over a period of time. The recorded data
can be played back and analyzed. The scan tool can also graph parameters singly or
in combinations of parameters for comparison. The Snapshot can be triggered
manually at the time the symptom is noticed, or set up in advance to trigger when a
DTC sets.
An abnormal value captured in the recorded data may point to a system or component
that needs to be investigated further.
Refer to the scan tool user instructions for more information on the Snapshot function.


Hard Start
Checks Action
DEFINITION:The engine cranks OK, but does not start for a long time. The engine does eventually run, or may start but
immediately dies.
Preliminary Checks •
Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls.
• Ensure the driver is using the correct starting procedure.
• Inspect the engine control module (ECM) and fuel injection pump control unit (PCU)
grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.
• Inspect that the harness connectors are correctly connected.
• Inspect the fuel type and quality.
• Inspect the scan tool Data List in this section.
• Inspect the Service Bulletins for ECM software updates.
