Details On DTCs

Description

Cold start IAC system performance problem

Detection condition

• The difference between the actual engine speed and the target engine speed is 100 rpm or more.
Preconditions
• Engine speed: 500 rpm or more *1
• Engine coolant temperature: −10—45 °C {14—113 °F} *1
• Catalytic converter estimated temperature: 380 °C {716 °F} or less *1
• Vehicle speed: 0 km/h {0 mph} *1
• The following DTCs are not detected:
― ECT sensor No.1 malfunction: P0116:00, P0117:00 and P0118:00
― MAP sensor malfunction: P0069:00, P0107:00 and P0108:00
― BARO sensor malfunction: P2226:00, P2228:00 and P2229:00
― Instrument cluster malfunction: P2610:00
*1: Standard can be verified by displaying PIDs using M-MDS
Malfunction determination period

• Throttle valve malfunction
• PCM malfunction



System Wiring Diagram

• Not applicable



Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

• The PCM calculates the target engine speed appropriate to the engine conditions relative to the actual engine speed based on the CKP sensor signal and provides feedback to the drive-by-wire control (idling speed control). If the actual engine speed is lower or higher than 100 rpm relative to the target engine speed during cold-engine idling, the PCM determines a malfunction in the idling speed control, and stores a DTC.



Repeatability Verification Procedure

1. Leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more.
2. Start the engine and leave it idling for 1 min.

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1
PURPOSE: VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION OR SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Bulletins, on-line repair information, or Service Information availability.
• Is any related Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
2
PURPOSE: IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA
• Is the DTC P050A:00 on freeze frame data?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the troubleshooting procedure for DTC on freeze frame data.
3
PURPOSE: RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
• Record the freeze frame data/snapshot data.

Note
• Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
Go to the next step.
4
PURPOSE: INSPECT FOR OTHER RELATED DTCs
• Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
5
PURPOSE: VERIFICATION IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY THROTTLE VALVE
• Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
• Access the THRO_ANG_ACT PID using the M-MDS. (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION.)
• While gradually depressing the accelerator pedal, verify that PID monitor THRO_ANG_ACT value increases.
• Does the monitor value change according to the amount the accelerator pedal is depressed?
Yes
Go to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure to perform the procedure from Step 1.
No
Go to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure to perform the procedure from Step 2.



Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure

Intention of troubleshooting procedure
• Step 1
― Perform an intake air system parts inspection.
• Step 2
― Perform a throttle valve related inspection.
• Repair completion verification
― Verify that the primary malfunction is resolved and there are no other malfunctions.

Step

Results

Action

1
PURPOSE: INSPECT INTAKE AIR SYSTEM FOR AIR SUCTION
• Inspect the following parts of the intake air system for looseness, damage, and loss.
― Between air cleaner and throttle body
― Between throttle body and intake manifold
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Go to the next step.
2
PURPOSE: DETERMINE INTEGRITY OF THROTTLE VALVE
• Perform the Electronic Control Throttle Operation Inspection. (See ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (US)].)
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the throttle body and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Clean the throttle valve and perform the repair completion verification.
Repair completion verification 1
PURPOSE: VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED
• Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
• Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.)
• Replicate the vehicle conditions at the time the DTC was detected using the following procedure.
― Implement the repeatability verification procedure. (See Repeatability Verification Procedure.)
• Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes
Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
No
Go to the next step.
Repair completion verification 2
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
• Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
