TOYOTA 2WW engine (2015–Present) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Toyota 2WW is a 2,393 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced from 2015 to present. It features an aluminium block and head, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a variable nozzle turbocharger (VNT). This engine delivers approximately 110 kW (150 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, engineered for strong, linear power delivery in commercial and passenger vehicles.

Fitted primarily to the Hilux, Fortuner, and Innova, the 2WW was designed for drivers and operators requiring durability, towing capability, and fuel efficiency in demanding conditions. Emissions compliance for its era is achieved through a diesel particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with AdBlue, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), meeting Euro 5 and equivalent global standards.

One documented concern is crystallization of the AdBlue dosing unit in cold climates, which can lead to SCR system malfunction and reduced engine power. This issue, addressed in Toyota Service Bulletin DIE-033-17, is linked to infrequent vehicle use or low AdBlue fluid levels. Toyota recommends maintaining adequate AdBlue levels and periodic system checks in cold environments.

Compliance Note:

Production years 2015–Present meet Euro 5 standards and equivalent global emissions regulations (Toyota Emissions Certification TEC-15-2WW).

2WW Technical Specifications

The Toyota 2WW is a 2,393 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for pickup trucks, SUVs, and MPVs (2015-Present). It combines common‑rail direct injection with a single variable‑nozzle turbocharger to deliver robust low-end torque and efficient cruising. Designed to meet Euro 5 and equivalent global standards, it balances heavy-duty performance with modern emissions control.

Practical Implications

The VNT turbo provides strong, lag-free torque ideal for towing and off-road use but demands strict adherence to 10,000 km oil change intervals using ACEA C2 5W-30 oil to protect the turbo and aftertreatment systems. The SCR system requires regular AdBlue top-ups; running the tank dry will trigger a power reduction. The chain-driven design is robust, but the EGR cooler is prone to internal leaks. Using high-quality, low-ash oil is critical to prevent DPF clogging.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C2 specification oil (Toyota Repair Manual RM2WW-15). Critical for DPF and SCR system longevity.

Emissions: Certification applies to all models manufactured 2015-Present (Toyota Emissions Certification TEC-15-2WW).

Power Ratings: Measured under JIS D 1001 standards. Output figures are net ratings for production vehicles (Toyota Group PT-2020).

2WW Compatible Models

The Toyota 2WW was used across Toyota's AN120/AN150 platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine received minor platform-specific adaptations, such as different engine mounts or accessory brackets, but no major facelift revisions affecting core compatibility occurred. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the flat machined surface on the left side of the engine block, near the injection pump (Toyota Repair Manual RM2WW-15). The 2WW can be visually identified by its DOHC valve cover, aluminium block, and the presence of an AdBlue dosing unit and SCR catalyst in the exhaust system. Critical differentiation from the 1GD-FTV: The 2WW is a 2.4L engine (vs. 2.8L for 1GD) and produces 150 PS (vs. 177-204 PS for 1GD). The engine harness and ECU calibration are also specific.

Common Reliability Issues - TOYOTA 2WW

The 2WW's primary reliability consideration is AdBlue system crystallization in cold or infrequently used vehicles, with elevated incidence in high-altitude or cold-climate regions. Toyota service data indicates this is a maintenance and usage issue rather than a design flaw, while owner reports frequently cite EGR cooler failure as a common secondary issue. Extended oil change intervals and use of incorrect oil specification make DPF and turbo problems more likely.

AdBlue dosing unit crystallization
Symptoms: Illuminated SCR/AdBlue warning light, engine entering 'limp mode' with reduced power, 'Refill AdBlue' message despite adequate fluid level.
Cause: Urea solution in the dosing unit crystallizes due to infrequent vehicle use, short trips, or exposure to very cold temperatures, blocking the injector nozzle.
Fix: Clean or replace the crystallized AdBlue dosing unit. Ensure AdBlue tank is kept above 25% capacity and vehicle is driven regularly for sufficient exhaust temperatures.
EGR cooler internal failure
Symptoms: White exhaust smoke (like steam), unexplained coolant loss, misfires, engine overheating, mayonnaise-like sludge under oil cap.
Cause: Internal rupture of the EGR cooler allows pressurised exhaust gas to enter the engine's cooling system, forcing coolant into cylinders.
Fix: Replace the failed EGR cooler assembly. Flush cooling system thoroughly. Inspect for hydrolock damage to connecting rods.
DPF regeneration issues & blockage
Symptoms: Loss of power, engine entering 'limp mode', DPF warning light illuminated, increased fuel consumption, acrid smell.
Cause: Frequent short trips prevent passive DPF regeneration. Use of incorrect oil or fuel can accelerate soot and ash buildup.
Fix: Perform forced regeneration via diagnostic tool. If blocked, remove and clean or replace DPF. Ensure correct driving patterns and oil spec.
Turbocharger actuator failure
Symptoms: Loss of boost pressure, whistling/siren noise from turbo, black smoke, poor acceleration, illuminated engine management light.
Cause: Wear or corrosion in the variable nozzle turbo (VNT) actuator mechanism, preventing proper vane control.
Fix: Replace the turbocharger actuator or the entire turbocharger assembly with a genuine Toyota unit. Reset ECU adaptations.
