General causes why exhaust smoke is black
q
Insufficient intake of air
q
Improper fuel injection
q
Improper selection of fuel
q
Engine overheating
oSee "S-14 Coolant temperature becomes too high (overheating)".
q
Controller is controlling in derate mode.
(limiting injection rate (power) because of an error in electrical system)
Check recent repair history.

While engine is running, unusual noise is heard around cylinder head.
Torque converter stall speed or pump relief speed is high (Fuel is injected
excessively).
Exhaust noise is unusual.
Engine does not pick up smoothly and combustion is irregular.
Blowby gas is excessive
When spill hose from injector is disconnected, fuel spills excessibly.
Check air cleaner.
When turbocharger is rotated by hand, it is fount to be heavy.
When compression pressure is measured, it is found to be low.
Check valve clearance.
If muffler is removed, exhaust sound improves.
Perform troubleshooting for "Supply pump pressure low error" according to
failure code (*1).
When a certain cylinder is cut out, engine speed does not change.
Perform troubleshooting for "Coolant sensor error" according to failure code
