3. CAUTIONS FOR DI ENGINE
1) Cautions for DI Engine
This chapter describes the cautions for DI engine equipped vehicle. This includes the water
separation from engine, warning lights, symptoms when engine malfunctioning, causes and
actions.
DI Engine 1.
Comparatively conventional diesel engines, DI engine controls the fuel injection and timing
electrically, delivers high power and reduces less emission.
System Safety Mode 2.
When a severe failure has been occurred in a vehicle, the system safety mode is activated to
protect the system. It reduces the driving force, restricts the engine speed (rpm) and stops
engine operation. Refer to "Diagnosis" section in this manual.
Engine CHECK Warning Lamp 3.
The Engine CHECK warning lamp on the instrument cluster comes on when the
fuel or major electronic systems of the engine are not working properly. As a result,
<009b008f008c0047008c0095008e00900095008c02c5009a004700970096009e008c009900470096009c009b0097009c009b00470094008800a00047008b008c008a0099008c0088009a008c0047009600990047009b008f008c0047008c0095008e009000

Water Separator Warning Lamp 4.
When the water level inside water separator in fuel filter exceeds a certain level
(approx. 45 cc), this warning light comes on and buzzer sounds.
Also, the driving force of the vehicle decreases (torque reduction). If these
conditions occur, immediately drain the water from fuel filter.

2) Cleanness
(1) Cleanness of DI engine fuel system
Cleanness of DI engine fuel system and service procedures ▶
The fuel system for DI engine consists of transfer (low pressure) line and high pressure line.
Its highest pressure reaches over 1,800 bar.
<007a00960094008c0047008a00960094009700960095008c0095009b009a0047009000950047009000950091008c008a009b00960099004700880095008b0047006f007700470097009c00940097004700880099008c004700940088008a008f0090009500

preciseness.
The pressure regulation and injector operation are done by electric source from engine ECU.
Accordingly, if the internal valve is stuck due to foreign materials, injector remains open.
Even in this case, the HP pump still operates to supply high pressurized fuel. This increases the
pressure to combustion chamber (over 250 bar) and may cause fatal damage to engine.
You can compare the thickness of injector nozzle hole and hair as shown in below figure (left
side). The below figure shows the clearance between internal operating elements.
The core elements of fuel system has very high preciseness that is easily affected by dust or very
small foreign material. Therefore, make sure to keep the preliminary works and job procedures in
next pages. If not, lots of system problems and claims may arise.

Water
separator
(2) Di engine and its expected problems and remedies can be caused by
water in fuel
System supplement against paraffin separation ▶
In case of Diesel fuel, paraffin, one of the elements, can be separated from fuel during winter and
then can stick on the fuel filter blocking fuel flow and causing difficult starting finally. Oil
companies supply summer fuel and winter fuel by differentiating mixing ratio of kerosene and
other elements by region and season. However, above phenomenon can be happened if stations
have poor facilities or sell improper fuel for the season. In case of DI engine, purity of fuel is very
important factor to keep internal preciseness of HP pump and injector.
Accordingly, more dense mesh than conventional fuel filter is used. To prevent fuel filter internal
clogging due to paraffin separation, SYMC is using fuel line that high pressure and temperature
fuel injected by injector returns through fuel filter to have an effect of built-in heater (see fuel
system).
System supplement and remedy against water in fuel ▶
As mentioned above, some gas stations supply fuel with excessive than specified water. In the
conventional IDI engine, excessive water in the fuel only causes dropping engine power or engine
hunting. However, fuel system in the DI engine consists of precise components so water in the
fuel can cause malfunctions of HP pump due to poor lubrication of pump caused by poor coating
film during high speed pumping and bacterization (under long period parking). To prevent
problems can be caused by excessive water in fuel, water separator is installed inside of fuel
filter. When fuel is passing filter, water that has relatively bigger specific gravity is accumulated on
the bottom of the filter.
Water drain from water separator ▶
If water in the separator on the fuel filter exceeds a certain level, it will be supplied to HP pump
with fuel, so the engine ECU turns on warning lamp on the meter cluster and buzzer if water level
is higher than a certain level.
Due to engine layout, a customer cannot easily drain water from fuel filter directly, so if a
customer checks in to change engine oil, be sure to perform water drain from fuel filter.
To separate the water from the fuel filter,
remove the fuel filter assembly first.
