No.19 Exhaust Smoke: Notes

19 EXHAUST SMOKE
DESCRIPTION 
  • Blue, black, or white smoke from exhaust system.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Blue smoke (Burning oil): 

  • PCV valve malfunction
  • Engine internal oil leakage
  • Oil leakage at the compressor or turbine end of the turbocharger

    White smoke (Water in combustion): 

  • Cooling system malfunction (coolant loss)
  • Engine internal coolant leakage
  • Coolant leakage at the compressor or the turbine end of the turbocharger

    Black smoke (Rich fuel mixture): 

  • Air cleaner restriction
  • Intake-air system is collapsed or restricted
  • Leakage at engine intake or exhaust manifold
  • Wastegate control solenoid valve malfunction (stuck open)
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • APP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • ECT sensor No.1 or related circuit malfunction
    • IAT sensor (integrated in MAF/IAT sensor) or related circuit malfunction
    • MAF sensor (integrated in MAF/IAT sensor) or related circuit malfunction
    • MAP sensor (integrated in MAP sensor/boost air temperature sensor) or related circuit malfunction
    • Boost air temperature sensor (integrated in MAP sensor/boost air temperature sensor) or related circuit malfunction
    • TP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • CPP switch or related circuit malfunction
    • Neutral switch or related circuit malfunction
    • A/F sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • HO2S or related circuit malfunction
    • Improper air/fuel mixture ratio control operation
    • VSS or related circuit malfunction
  • Excessive fuel pressure
    • Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • High pressure fuel pump malfunction
    • Spill valve control solenoid valve control circuit malfunction (damage to driver in PCM caused by short circuit to ground system)
    • Spill valve control solenoid valve (built-into high pressure fuel pump) malfunction
    • Relief valve (built-into fuel delivery pipe) malfunction
  • Improper engine compression
  • Ignition system malfunction
  • Improper fuel injection timing and amount
  • Fuel injector control driver (built-into PCM) malfunction
WARNING:
  • The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
    • Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
    • Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION" and "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION" described in this manual. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION .) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION .)
CAUTION:
  • Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
