Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Legend1. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The ECT sensor is installed to the thermostat housing.
The ECT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures
the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT
sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the
engine coolant temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With
lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower
voltage on the signal circuit.
Fuel Temperature (FT) Sensor
Legend 1. Fuel temperature (FT) sensor
2. Fuel rail pressure (FRP) regulator
The FT sensor is installed to the fuel supply pump. The
FT sensor is a variable resistor and it measures the
temperature of the fuel entering the fuel supply pump.
When the FT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is
high. When the fuel temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the
ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With
lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower
voltage on the signal circuit.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The IAT sensor is fitted between the air cleaner and
turbocharger. It is internal to the mass air flow (MAF)
sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor and it
measures the temperature of the air entering the
engine. When the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor
resistance is high. When the air temperature increases,
the sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor
resistance, the ECM detects a high voltage on the
signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the ECM
detects a lower voltage on the signal circuit.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1) 6E-359
Mass Air Flow (MAF) SensorThe 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
speed. 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 (IAT) sensor 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.
Fuel System Description
The common rail system uses a type of accumulator
chamber called the fuel rail to store pressurized fuel,
and injectors that contain electronically controlled
solenoid valves to spray the pressurized fuel in the
combustion chambers. The injection system (injection
pressure, injection rate, and injection timing) is
controlled by the ECM, and therefore the common rail
system can be controlled independently, free from the influence of engine speed and load. This ensures a
stable injection pressure at all time, particularly in the
low engine speed range, so that black smoke specific
to diesel engines generated during vehicle starting or
acceleration can be reduced dramatically. As a result,
exhaust gas emissions are clear and reduced, and
higher output is achieved.
