6E-286 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Solenoid Valve
RTW 76ESH003601
The engine control module (ECM) controls the exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) flow amount based on the
engine speed, engine coolant temperature, intake ai
r
temperature, barometric pressure and fuel injection
quantity. The ECM controls the EGR valve b
y
controlling the EGR solenoid valve. The mass air flo
w
(MAF) sensor monitors EGR gas flow amount. An
expected MAF amount should be detected while the
engine running.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
RTW 66ESH001701
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is fitted
between the air cleaner and turbocharger internal to the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The IAT sensor is a
variable resistor. The IAT sensor measures the
temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine
control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal
circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.
W hen the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is
high. W hen the air temperature increases, the senso
r
resistance decreases. W ith high sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a high voltage on the IAT signal circuit.
W ith lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lowe
r
voltage on the IAT signal circuit.
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
RTW 66ESH001701
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is an air flow meter that
measures the amount of air that enters the engine. It is
fitted between the air cleaner and turbocharger. A small
quantity of air that enters the engine indicates
deceleration or idle. A large quantity of air that enters
the engine indicates acceleration or a high load
condition. The MAF sensor assembly consists of a MAF
sensor element and an intake air temperature senso
r
that are both exposed to the air flow to be measured.
The MAF sensor element measures the partial air mass
through a measurement duct on the sensor housing.

10. Change Air Cooler (Intercooler)
The turbocharger is used to increase the amount of ai
r
that enters the engine cylinders. This allows a
proportional increase of fuel to be injected into the
cylinders, resulting in increased power output, more
complete combustion of fuel, and increased cooling o
f
the cylinder heads, pistons, valves, and exhaust gas.
This cooling effect helps extend engine life.
Heat energy and pressures in the engine exhaust gas
are utilized to drive the turbine. Exhaust gas is directed
to the turbine housing. The turbine housing acts as a
nozzle to direct the shaft wheel assembly. Since the
compressor wheel is attached directly to the shaft, the
compressor wheel rotates at the same speed as the
turbine wheel. Clean air from the air cleaner is drawn
into the compressor housing and wheel. The air is
compressed and delivered through a crossover pipe to
the engine air intake manifold, then into the cylinders.
The amount of air pressure rise and air volume
delivered to the engine from the compressor outlet is
regulated by a wastegate valve in the exhaust housing.
The position of the wastegate valve is controlled by the
amount of pressure built up on the intake side of the
turbocharger. The diaphragm on the inside of the
wastegate is pressure sensitive, and controls the
position of the valve inside the turbocharger. The
position of the valve will increase or decrease the
amount of boost to the turbocharger.
The charge air cooler also helps the performance of the
diesel. Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressurized
air from the turbocharger then flows forward through the
charge air cooler located in the front of the radiator.
From the charge air cooler, the air flows back into the
intake manifold.
The charge air cooler is a heat exchanger that uses ai
r
flow to dissipate heat from the intake air. As the
turbocharger increases air pressure, the air temperature
increases. Lowering the intake air temperature
increases the engine efficiency and power by packing
more air molecules into the same space.
