We analyze a class of non-simple exclusion processes and the corresponding growth models by generalizing the discrete Cole-Hopf transformation of Gartner (Stoch Process Appl, 27:233-260, 1987). We identify the main non-linearity and eliminate it by imposing a gradient type condition. For hopping range at most 3, using the generalized transformation, we prove the convergence of the exclusion process toward the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (kpz) equation. This is the first universality result under the weak asymmetry concerning interacting particle systems. While this class of exclusion processes are not explicitly solvable, under the weak asymmetry we obtain the exact one-point limiting distribution for the step initial condition by using the previous result of Amir et al. (Commun Pure Appl Math, 64(4): 466-537, 2011) and our convergence result.
