6E-98 Engine Control System (4JH1)
DTC P0215 (Symptom Code B) (Flash Code 52)
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the
desired fuel injection quantity and timing using data sent
from various sensors. These desired data are sent to
the fuel injection pump control unit (PCU) via a
controller area network (CAN) communication bus. The
PCU also receives signals from the internal inputs:
pump camshaft position (CMP) sensor that is located
inside the fuel injection pump to determine the cam ring
rotation angle and the fuel injection pump speed. The
fuel temperature (FT) sensor is internal the PCU. These
values are used to compare the desired values sent
from the ECM then PCU determines the injection time
r
piston position and fuel injection quantity, and actuates
timing control valve (TCV) & fuel injection solenoid
valve based on control maps in the PCU.
The fuel injection solenoid valve is installed to the fuel
injection pump rear side. The fuel injection event is
determined by this solenoid ON/OFF command. The
fuel injection solenoid valve cuts the fuel when the
engine shutoff (ESO) solenoid valve is commanded
shutoff from the PCU. (The fuel injection solenoid valve
and engine shutoff (ESO) solenoid valve is same part. It
calls ESO solenoid valve when fuel is shutoff.) W hen
the ignition switch is turned OFF or commanded from
fail-safe action, the ESO solenoid valve is commanded
shutoff to stop the engine running. If the PCU detects
that the ESO solenoid valve control circuit voltage level
from the ECM to PCU is high, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC
• The ignition switch is ON.
Condition for Setting the DTC
• The PCU detects high voltage condition on the
ESO solenoid valve control circuit for longer than 1
second when the ECM does not command shutoff.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.
Notice:
• Fuel injection solenoid valve is internal to the fuel
injection pump assembly.
• PCU is part of the fuel injection pump assembly.
• If this DTC is present, engine will not start.

DTC P0216 (Symptom Code A, B) (Flash Code 54)
Description
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the
desired fuel injection quantity and timing using data sent
from various sensors. These desired data are sent to
the fuel injection pump control unit (PCU) via a
controller area network (CAN) communication bus. The
PCU also receives signals from the internal inputs:
pump camshaft position (CMP) sensor that is located
inside the fuel injection pump to determine the cam ring
rotation angle and the fuel injection pump speed. The
fuel temperature (FT) sensor is internal the PCU. These
values are used to compare the desired values sent
from the ECM then PCU determines the injection time
r
piston position and fuel injection quantity, and actuates
timing control valve (TCV) & fuel injection solenoid
valve based on control maps in the PCU.
The timing device changes the optimum injection
timing against various engine conditions. The
pressure of the fuel fed from the feed pump is
adjusted and it acts to the timing plunger by TCV
controlled fuel pressure. (
The TCV is installed to the
fuel injection pump rear side and it is controlled by dut
y
ratio cycle from the PCU.) The timing plunger is
connected to the cam ring by a ball pin. Axial
movement of the timing plunger is transferred to the
cam ring in the form of rotational movement.
Movement to the right of the timing plunge
r
advances injection timing.
If the PCU detects an
excessive difference between actual and desired fuel
injection timing, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC
Symptom Code A
• The engine speed is higher than 700 RPM.
• The fuel injection quantity is higher than 4 mg/strk.
Symptom Code B
• The engine speed is higher than 2014 RPM.
Condition for Setting the DTC
Symptom Code A
• The PCU monitored actual fuel injection timing is
advanced more than desired by 3°CA for longe
r
than 12 seconds or retarded more than desired by
6°CA for longer than 12 seconds.
Symptom Code B
• The PCU monitored actual fuel injection timing is
oscillated higher than desired by 5.2°CA.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The ECM limits fuel injection quantity.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.
Notice:
• The fuel injection pump installation with incorrect
mechanical timing may set this DTC.
• This DTC most likely indicate loss fuel pressure by
restricted fuel line. Inspect the fuel line restriction
between the fuel injection pump and fuel tank.
• The fuel system from the fuel tank(s) to the fuel
injection pump is under a slight vacuum with the
engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel
system if these connections are not tight or if there
is a crack in one of the fuel hoses. Air in the fuel
system will cause fuel injection pump internal
pressure fluctuations especially at high engine
speed and load, which may set this DTC.
• Improper fuel will cause this DTC to set. Inspect
fuel waxing or icing that is caused by an incorrect
fuel type used in winter season or water intrusion
in the fuel system.
• Contaminated fuel will cause this DTC to set.
Inspect the pipe connector fixing bolt (eye bolt) on
the fuel injection pump suction side.
Important:
If the fuel tank is empty or near empty, air might be
allowed to go into the fuel system. W ith air in the fuel
system, smooth flow of fuel into the fuel injection pump
is interrupted and this DTC may set. Perform bleeding
of fuel system after refilling. Refer to air bleeding
procedure in fuel system section.

5. Accelerate the engine and keep the constant engine speed around 3000 RPM while observing
the Actual Injection Timing parameter with the
scan tool.
Does the Actual Injection Timing parameter follow
the Desired Injection Timing within 2°CA on each
engine speed? 

Go to Diagnostic Aids Go to Step 4
4 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.
Notice: The fuel system from the fuel tank(s) to the
fuel injection pump is under a slight vacuum with the
engine running. As a result, air can enter the fuel
system if these connections are not tight. Air in the
fuel system will cause fuel injection pump internal
pressure fluctuations especially at high engine
speed and load, which may set this DTC.
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.

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.

6 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.
