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,

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.

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The lubrication system supplies oil to each lubrication section to prevent friction and wear and to
remove heat from the friction part. As the engine runs, frictional heat is generated on each
lubrication section. If this condition persists, the bearing can be burned and stuck.
In other words, it creates an oil film on each sliding surface to convert solid friction to liquid
friction in order to minimize wear and prevent temperature increasing on the friction part.
For the D20DTF engine with no oil pressure switch, the engine ECU receives the low engine oil
level signal from the oil level sensor and communicates with the instrument cluster through the
CAN communication to turn on the warning lamp.

(4) Maintenance
If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check
is needed.
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the
battery cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can
be damaged due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth
wetted with soapy water. -

(3) Warning Lamp Related to CDPF
CDPF regeneration process (warning lamp NOT illuminated) ▶
The CDPF system enters the regeneration mode
when the driving distance becomes approx. 600
to 1,200 km (may differ by the driving condition
and driving style). Then, the engine ECU
performs the CDPF regeneration operation.
However, the driver is not informed with this
operation by any engine warning lamp or
vehicle signal, so he/she may not detect this
operation. The control logic at the post-
injection dur-ing the regeneration process is to
increase the fuel injection volume and control
the intake air volume (by the throttle body) in
order to increase the temperature of the exhaust
gas. The driver may not feel any particular
difference from the vehicle.
If the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration
temperature due to low speed driving or other
reason during the regeneration process, the
soot is continuously accumulated in the CDPF.
When this condition continues and the CDPF is
overloaded with soot, the engine warning lamp
blinks to inform this situation to the driver.
In order to solve this problem, drive the vehicle
at a speed of approx. 80 km/h for 15 to 20
minutes to perform the CDPF regeneration
process.
If the engine warning lamp on the instrument
cluster blinks, the CDPF is overloaded. In this
case, perform the step 2. 1.
2.
3.If the vehicle is driven at a speed of 5 to 10
km/h for an extended period of time, the soot
accumulated in the CDPF cannot be burned as
the CDPF cannot reach the regeneration
temperature. Then, an excessive amount of
soot can be accumulated in the CDPF.
This case is much worse than the simple over-
load of the CDPF. To inform this to the driver,
the engine warning lamp comes on and the
engine power is decreased to protect the
system.
To solve this problem, blow soot between the
engine and exhaust system several times and
erase the related DTC. Then, check if the same
DTC is regenerated again. If so, check the DTC
related to the differential pressure sensor. 1.

Meter Cluster
1. OVERVIEW
The instrument cluster for this vehicle consists of the Meter cluster and the Warning
lamp/Indicator cluster. For 2012 Model, some warning lamps and indicators have been deleted,
added, and changed according to the changes of engineering design.
Deleted: Warning lamps and indicators for EAS, EPB, and TPMS
Changed: EBD warning lamps
Added: Indicators for Part-time transfer case -
