DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when the engine does not start even though the STA signal is input or when the engine takes a long time to start, and when the engine speed is low or the engine stalls just after the engine starts.

Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

It is necessary to check if the vehicle ran out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when there is engine starting trouble due to running out of fuel.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT

  1. In contrast to normal malfunction diagnosis for components, circuits and systems, DTC P1604 is used to determine the malfunctioning area from the problem symptoms and freeze frame data when the user mentions problems such as starting difficulty. As these DTCs can be stored as a result of certain user actions, even if these DTCs are output, if the customer makes no mention of problems, clear these DTCs without performing any troubleshooting and return the vehicle to the customer.
  2. If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
  3. When the Data List item "Immobiliser Fuel Cut" is ON, the engine cannot be started.
  4. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
  5. When confirming the freeze frame data, be sure to check all 5 sets of freeze frame data. Refer to «FREEZE FRAME DATA»(/lexus/is-f/i-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-diagnostics-introduction) .
  6. When confirming freeze frame data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.
  7. Try to start the vehicle under the conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the malfunction occurred. Confirm the data at this time and compare it with the freeze frame data.
  8. If the malfunction does not reoccur, carefully check the vehicle conditions from when the malfunction occurred using freeze frame data.
  9. When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.
  10. If the same inspection or replacement procedure appears 2 times when performing an inspection procedure, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure the second time.

  1. Malfunction Recurrence and Inspection Areas Freeze frame data exists, but the malfunction (starting difficulty) has not reoccurred and the malfunction conditions are unknown. The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 0 rpm (the engine does not crank). HINT: One of the following problems may be present: battery depletion, excess engine friction, a starter malfunction or a crankshaft position sensor malfunction. If the battery voltage is less than 6 V during cranking, there is a high probability that engine friction is abnormal. If the battery voltage drops to 5 V or less when starting the engine, the battery may be malfunctioning. If the battery voltage fluctuates while cranking the engine, it can be concluded that cranking is being performed. When the engine speed is 0 rpm, the crankshaft position sensor and/or ECM may be malfunctioning. All engine speeds recorded in the freeze frame data are between 100 and 250 rpm (the engine cranks but there is no combustion). HINT: If the engine speed is between 100 and 250 rpm (no initial combustion), there may be a wiring problem or a complete failure of an ignition or fuel system part. Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and the engine may not be able to be started. The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 250 rpm or higher (the initial combustion and starter turnoff timing is too late). HINT: If the engine speed is 250 rpm or higher (combustion occurs but the initial combustion and starter turnoff timing is too late), the fuel injection volume is often incorrect (too low or too high) and determining the cause of the malfunction is often difficult. Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and engine starting trouble may occur. If Long FT is incorrect, there may be a fuel supply problem due to the injectors or fuel pump being clogged, etc. If the engine cranking speed is too high, compression loss may have occurred due to carbon interfering with the valve operation. When the malfunction (starting difficulty) can be reproduced, or malfunction conditions are known, perform the following inspections ("Problem symptoms" and "Systems to inspect"). Problem symptoms The engine does not crank. HINT: The starter is normal if a noise that indicates the starter pinion gear is extending is heard. The battery may be fully depleted or there may be excess engine friction. The engine cranking speed is abnormal. HINT: If the engine cranking speed is too high (for example, 300 rpm or higher with no combustion), compression loss may have occurred because carbon interfered with valve operation, etc. There is no initial combustion. HINT: If there is no initial combustion, there is probably a wiring problem or an ignition or fuel system part malfunction. The engine stalls after starter turnoff. HINT: If the engine stalls after starter turnoff, the air-fuel ratio may be incorrect or the VVT may have a problem returning. The initial combustion and starter turnoff occur late. HINT: If the initial combustion and starter turnoff occur late, the fuel injection volume is probably incorrect (too low or too high). HINT: Causes of fuel system malfunctions according to conditions present at the time of the malfunction. When 2 to 3 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Fuel pressure loss due to the pressure regulator failing to maintain the fuel pressure. When 15 to 120 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Problem with injector fuel seal. When a long time has elapsed after stopping the engine: Pressure regulator is stuck open.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears.

The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body assembly. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to appropriately control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle as the ECM responds to driver inputs.

HINT

This electronic throttle control system does not use a throttle cable.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2102Conditions (a) and (b) continue for 2.0 seconds (1 trip detection logic): (a) Throttle actuator duty ratio 80% or more (b) Throttle actuator current less than 0.5 AOpen in throttle actuator circuit Throttle actuator ECM
P2103Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic): Hybrid IC diagnosis signal fail Hybrid IC current limiter port failShort in throttle actuator circuit Throttle actuator Throttle valve Throttle body assembly ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the electrical current through the electronic actuator, and detects malfunctions and open circuits in the throttle actuator based on this value. If the current is outside the standard range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the throttle actuator. In addition, if the throttle valve does not function properly (for example, stuck on), the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

  1. Example: When the electrical current is more than 7 A, or less than 0.5 A and the throttle actuator duty ratio exceeds 80%, the ECM interprets this as the current being outside the standard range, and illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC. If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set when the engine is quickly revved to a high rpm several times after the engine has idled for 5 seconds after engine start.

FAIL-SAFE

When either of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to electronic throttle control system malfunctions, is set, the ECM enters fail safe mode. During fail safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 7° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel cut) and ignition timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.

Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the engine switch is then turned off.

  1. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
  2. The throttle actuator current (Throttle Motor Current) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (Throttle Motor Open Duty/Throttle Motor Close Duty) can be read using the Techstream. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the electronic throttle control system malfunctions.

The idle speed is controlled by the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS).

The ETCS is comprised of a throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve, and a throttle position sensor, which detects the opening amount of the throttle valve.

The ECM controls the throttle actuator to adjust the throttle valve opening amount so that the idle speed is maintained at the target idle speed.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2109Either condition is met: (5 trip detection logic) With atmospheric pressure 85 kPa (638 mmHg) or more (elevation 1400 m (4592 ft.) or less), when the engine coolant temperature is 45°C (113°F) or less at engine start, the engine is warmed up and conditions for ISC learning are met, the ISC learning value is approximately 3 times larger than normal even though the mass air flow when idling is normal. With atmospheric pressure 85 kPa (638 mmHg) or more (elevation 1400 m (4592 ft.) or less), when the engine switch has been turned on (IG) for 1 hour or more, the engine is warmed up, conditions for ISC learning are met and the vehicle has been driven at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more at least once, the ISC learning value is approximately 3 times larger than normal even though the mass air flow when idling is normal.Throttle body assembly

If there are deposits in the throttle valve, the necessary ISC flow rate for idling is maintained using the ISC learning value and feedback as a decrease in the ISC flow rate may cause engine stall or unstable idling. The ECM stores this DTC if the ISC learning value approaches its limit.

HINT

  1. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
  1. Since a pending DTC is not stored for this DTC, it takes time to confirm whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired by checking for this DTC. When confirming whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired, compare "ISC Learning Value" recorded in the freeze frame data with "ISC Learning Value" in the Data List after repairs have been made to save time.

  3. REMOVE FOREIGN OBJECT (CLEAN THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY) Clean off any deposits from the inside of the throttle body assembly. Push open the throttle valve and wipe off any carbon from the valve and bore using a cloth soaked in non-residue solvent. NOTE: Make sure that the cloth or your fingers do not get caught in the valve. Make sure that foreign matter does not enter the throttle valve. Do not directly apply non-residue solvent to the throttle body assembly or wash the throttle body assembly. Cleaning solvent may leak into the motor from the shaft and cause problems such as rust or valve movement problems. If there is coating material on the edge of the valve, be careful not to remove it. Push the throttle valve open gently with your finger and check that the throttle valve moves smoothly. NEXT: Go to next step
  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ISC LEARNING VALUE) Remove the EFI and ETCS fuses at the same time, wait 60 seconds or more, and then reinstall the fuses to reset the ISC learning value. Start the engine and fully warm it up. Leave the vehicle idling for 3 minutes or more and check that the engine speed is at the standard idle speed. HINT: Check the freeze frame data and make sure that the vehicle conditions are the same as when the DTC was stored. Using the Techstream, confirm "ISC Learning Value".

The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body assembly. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to appropriately control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle as the ECM responds to driver inputs.

The electronic throttle control system has a dedicated power supply circuit. When the monitored voltage (+BM) is low (less than 4 V), the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the electronic throttle control system and cuts off the current to the throttle actuator.

When the voltage becomes unstable, the electronic throttle control system itself becomes unstable. For this reason, when the voltage is low, the current to the throttle actuator is cut. If repairs are made and the system returns to normal, turn the engine switch off. The ECM then allows the current to flow to the throttle actuator so that it can be restarted.

The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle actuator, throttle position sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, and ECM. The ECM operates the throttle actuator to regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The throttle position sensor detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, and provides the ECM with feedback so that the throttle valve can be appropriately controlled by the ECM.

P2119Throttle valve opening angle continues to vary greatly from target opening angle (1 trip detection logic)Electronic throttle control system ECM

The ECM determines the actual opening angle of the throttle valve from the throttle position sensor signal. The actual opening angle is compared to the target opening angle commanded by the ECM. If the difference between these two values is outside the standard range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the electronic throttle control system. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is set when the accelerator pedal is quickly released (to close the throttle valve) after the engine speed reaches 5000 rpm by fully depressing the accelerator pedal (fully open the throttle valve).

The electronic throttle control system does not use a throttle cable.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket and has 2 sensor circuits: VPA (main) and VPA2 (sub). This sensor is a non-contact type, and uses Hall-effect elements, in order to yield accurate signals, even in extreme driving conditions, such as at high speeds as well as very low speeds. The voltage, which is applied to terminals VPA and VPA2 of the ECM, varies between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the operating angle of the accelerator pedal (throttle valve). A signal from VPA indicates the actual accelerator pedal opening angle (throttle valve opening angle) and is used for engine control. A signal from VPA2 conveys the status of the VPA circuit and is used to check the accelerator pedal position sensor itself.

The ECM monitors the actual accelerator pedal opening angle (throttle valve opening angle) through the signals from VPA and VPA2, and controls the throttle actuator according to these signals.

Accelerator pedal positions are expressed as voltages.

  1. When either of the output voltages of VPA or VPA2 deviates from the standard range, or the difference between the output voltages of the 2 sensor circuits is less than the threshold, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC. Example: When the output voltage of VPA drops 0.4 V or less for 0.5 seconds or more when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, DTC P2122 is set. If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 2 seconds after the engine is next started.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor elements and 2 signal outputs: VPA and VPA2. VPA is used to detect the actual accelerator pedal angle (used for engine control) and VPA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VPA. When the difference between the output voltages of VPA and VPA2 deviates from the standard, the ECM determines that the accelerator pedal position sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM turns on the MIL and the DTC is set.

HINT: If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning. If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

The accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in either of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the two sensor circuits and switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the functioning circuit is used to calculate the accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal as being fully closed. In this case, the throttle valve remains closed as if the engine is idling.

If a pass condition is detected and then the engine switch is turned off, the fail safe operation stops and the system returns to a normal condition.

HINT

  1. Although the DTC titles say oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor.
  2. Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the three-way catalytic converter and located near the engine assembly.

The air fuel ratio sensor generates a voltage* that corresponds to the actual air fuel ratio. This sensor voltage is used to provide the ECM with feedback so that it can control the air fuel ratio. The ECM determines the deviation from the stoichiometric air fuel ratio level, and regulates the fuel injection time. If the air fuel ratio sensor malfunctions, the ECM is unable to control the air fuel ratio accurately.

The air fuel ratio sensor is the planar type and is integrated with the heater, which heats the solid electrolyte (zirconia element). This heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low), a current flows into the heater to heat the sensor, in order to facilitate accurate oxygen concentration detection. In addition, the sensor and heater portions are narrower than the conventional type. The heat generated by the heater is conducted to the solid electrolyte through the alumina, therefore the sensor activation is accelerated.

In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a three-way catalytic converter is used. For the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric level.

*: Value changes inside the ECM. Since the air fuel ratio sensor is the current output element, a current is converted into a voltage inside the ECM. Any measurements taken at the air fuel ratio sensor or ECM connectors will show a constant voltage.

  6. Short-term fuel trim values can also be read using the Techstream.
  7. The ECM regulates the voltages at the A1A+, A2A+, A1A- and A2A- terminals of the ECM to a constant level. Therefore, the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output cannot be confirmed without using the Techstream.
  8. If an air fuel ratio sensor malfunction is detected, the ECM sets a DTC.

Sensor voltage detection monitor

Under the air fuel ratio feedback control, if the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output indicates rich or lean for a certain period of time, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

Example

If the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output is less than 2.8 V (very rich condition) and heated oxygen sensor output voltage falls from 0.59 V or more to less than 0.21 V for 5 seconds, the ECM sets DTC P2196 or P2198. Alternatively, if the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output is more than 3.8 V (very lean condition) and heated oxygen sensor output voltage rises from less than 0.21 V to 0.59 V or more for 5 seconds, DTC P2195 or P2197 is set.

Sensor current detection monitor

A rich air fuel mixture causes a low air fuel ratio sensor current, and a lean air fuel mixture causes a high air fuel ratio sensor current. Therefore, the sensor output becomes low during acceleration, and it becomes high during deceleration with the throttle valve fully closed. The ECM monitors the air fuel ratio sensor current during fuel cut and detects any abnormal current values.

If the air fuel ratio sensor output is 3.6 mA or more for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor and sets DTC P2195 or P2197 (high-side stuck). If the air fuel ratio sensor output is less than 1.4 mA for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM sets DTC P2196 or P2198 (low-side stuck).

Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function can help to determine whether the air fuel ratio sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation using the Techstream.

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
  4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.
  5. Perform the Active Test operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume.)
  6. Monitor the output voltages of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors (AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and O2S B2S2) displayed on the Techstream.

HINT

  1. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
  2. Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.

  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P2195, P2196, P2197 OR P2198) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes. Read the DTCs. Result Result Proceed to DTC P2195, P2196, P2197 or P2198 is output A DTC P2195, P2196, P2197 or P2198 and other DTCs are output B HINT: If any DTCs relating to the air fuel ratio sensor (DTCs for the air fuel ratio sensor heater or air fuel ratio sensor admittance) are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first. B --> See step 20 A: Go to next step
  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (TEST VALUE OF AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/lexus/is-f/i-2007-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear). Drive the vehicle in accordance with the drive pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / O2 Sensor. Check that the status of O2 Sensor is Complete. If the status is still Incomplete, perform the driving pattern increasing the vehicle speed and using the second gear to decelerate the vehicle. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / O2 Sensor / Details / RANGE B1S1 or RANGE B2S1. Check the test value of the air fuel ratio sensor output current during fuel cut. Result Test Value Proceed to Within normal range (1.4 mA or more, and less than 3.6 mA) A Outside normal range (Less than 1.4 mA, or 3.6 mA or more) B B --> See step 17 A: Go to next step
  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Start the engine. Turn the Techstream on. Warm up the air fuel ratio sensor at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for 90 seconds. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / AFS Voltage B1S1 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and Engine Speed, then press the Record button. Check the air fuel ratio sensor voltage three times, when the engine is in each of the following conditions: While idling (check for at least 30 seconds) (Step "A"). At an engine speed of approximately 2500 rpm (without any sudden changes in engine speed) (Step "B"). Raise the engine speed to 4000 rpm and then quickly release the accelerator pedal so that the throttle valve is fully closed (Step "C"). Standard Condition Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Voltage Variation Reference Step "A" and "B" Remains at approximately 3.3 V Between 3.1 V and 3.5 V Step "C" Increases to 3.8 V or more This occurs during engine deceleration (when fuel cut performed) HINT: For more information, see the diagrams below. HINT: If the output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor remains at approximately 3.3 V (Scheme 85) under any conditions, including those above, the air fuel ratio sensor may have an open circuit. (This will also happen if the air fuel ratio sensor heater has an open circuit.) If the output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor remains at either approximately 3.8 V or more, or 2.8 V or less (Scheme 85) under any conditions, including those above, the air fuel ratio sensor may have a short circuit. The ECM stops fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This causes a lean condition and results in a momentary increase in the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage. When the vehicle is driven: The output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor may be below 2.8 V during fuel enrichment. For the vehicle, this translates to a sudden increase in speed with the accelerator pedal fully depressed when trying to overtake another vehicle. The air fuel ratio sensor is functioning normally. The air fuel ratio sensor is a current output element; therefore, the current is converted into a voltage inside the ECM. Measuring the voltage at the connectors of the air fuel ratio sensor or ECM will show a constant voltage result. NG --> See step 10 OK: Go to next step

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT

  1. Although the DTC titles say oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor.
  2. Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located near the engine assembly.

The air fuel ratio sensor, which is located between the exhaust manifold and catalyst, consists of alloyed metal elements and a heater.

Depending on the engine operating conditions, the heater heats the sensor elements to activate them. Battery voltage is applied to the heater, the sensor ground is controlled by the ECM using a duty ratio.

The sensor elements convert the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas into voltage values to output. Based on the voltage, the ECM determines the air fuel ratio and regulates the fuel injection volume depending on the air fuel ratio and engine operating conditions. The voltage changes between 0.6 V and 4.5 V while the engine is running. If the air fuel ratio is lean, which means the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is high, the voltage is high. If the air fuel ratio is rich, which means the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is low, the voltage is low.

These DTCs are output when there is an open or short in the air fuel ratio sensor circuit, or if air fuel ratio sensor output drops. To detect these problems, the voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor is monitored when turning the engine switch on (IG), and the admittance (admittance is an electrical term that indicates the ease of flow of current) is checked while driving. If the voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor is between 0.6 V and 4.5 V, it is considered normal. If the voltage is out of the specified range, or the admittance is less than the standard value, the ECM will determine that there is a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor. If the same malfunction is detected in next driving cycle, the MIL will be illuminated and a DTC will be stored.

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

Refer to the EVAP System. Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE .

5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT

*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

AAtmospheric pressure measurementVent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.60 seconds
BFirst reference pressure measurementIn order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally.60 seconds
CEVAP system pressure measurementVent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then measured. Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check. If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.15 minutes *
DPurge VSV monitorPurge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normality.10 seconds
ESecond reference pressure measurementAfter second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second reference pressure. If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking.60 seconds
Final checkAtmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM.

*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

Note. The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 5 steps performed automatically by Techstream. It takes a maximum of the approximately 18 minutes. Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable. Do not run the engine during this operation. When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

P2610Soak timer (built into ECM)ECM internal malfunctionECMEngine running2 trip

The soak timer operates after the engine switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed after turning the engine switch off, the soak timer activates the ECM to perform malfunction checks witch can only be performed after the engine is stopped. The soak timer is built into the ECM.

Scheme 95

Scheme 95: DESCRIPTION

If the soak timer activates the ECM even though only a short amount of time has elapsed since the engine switch was turned off, or if the soak timer does not activate the ECM even though a considerable amount of time has elapsed since the engine switch was turned off, the ECM determines that the soak timer is malfunctioning, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC the next time the engine switch is turned on (IG). While the engine is running, the ECM monitors the synchronization of the soak timer and the CPU clock. If these two are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).

P2A00 P2A03Calculated value for air fuel ratio sensor response rate deterioration level is less than thresholdOpen or short in air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) circuit Air fuel ratio sensor Air fuel ratio sensor heater ECM

After engine is warmed up, the ECM performs air fuel ratio feedback control to maintain the air fuel ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 10 seconds after preconditions are met in order to measure the air fuel ratio sensor response rate. During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM forcibly increases and decreases the injection volume a certain amount, based on the stoichiometric air fuel ratio learned during normal air fuel ratio control, and measures the air fuel ratio sensor response rate. The ECM receives a signal from the air fuel ratio sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control and uses it to calculate the air fuel ratio sensor response rate deterioration level.

If the value for air fuel ratio sensor response rate deterioration level is less than the threshold, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and sets the DTC.

Unit expressions

  1. [kPa-a (mmHg-a)] denotes the absolute pressure.
  2. [kPa-g (mmHg-g)] denotes the gauge pressure (relative pressure).
  3. On the Techstream, convert the unit of measurement according to the inspection procedure.

Note. The canister is located near the fuel tank, underneath the body.

Scheme 105

Scheme 105

Note. In this vehicle's EVAP system, turning ON the vent valve does not seal off the EVAP system. To check for leaks in the EVAP system, disconnect the air inlet vent hose and apply pressure from the atmosphere side of the canister.

While the engine is running, if a predetermined condition (closed loop etc.) is met, the purge VSV is opened by the ECM and stored fuel vapors in the canister are purged into the intake manifold. The ECM changes the duty cycle ratio of the purge VSV to control purge flow volume.

The purge flow volume is also determined by the intake manifold pressure. Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister through the vent valve to ensure that the purge flow is maintained when the negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.

The following two monitors run to confirm appropriate EVAP system operation.

Scheme 106

Scheme 107

Scheme 107

Scheme 108

Scheme 108
  1. Key-off monitor This monitor checks for EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system leaks and canister pump module malfunctions. The monitor starts 5 hours * after the engine switch is turned off. More than 5 hours are required for the fuel to cool down to stabilize the EVAP pressure, thus making the EVAP system monitor more accurate. The leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the pressure is measured. Finally, the ECM monitors for leaks from the EVAP system, and malfunctions in both the canister pump module and purge VSV, based on the EVAP pressure. HINT: *: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
  2. Purge flow monitor The purge flow monitor consists of the two monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary. The 1st monitor While the engine is running and the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) is ON (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor. The 2nd monitor The vent valve is turned OFF (open) and the EVAP pressure is measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.3 kPa-g (2.25 mmHg-g), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and sets DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic). Atmospheric pressure check: In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM. Component Operation Canister Contains activated charcoal to absorb EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) generated in fuel tank. Cut-off valve Located in fuel tank. Valve floats and closes when fuel tank 100% full. Purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) Opens or closes line between canister and intake manifold. ECM uses purge VSV to control EVAP purge flow. In order to discharge EVAP absorbed by canister to intake manifold, ECM opens purge VSV. EVAP discharge volume to intake manifold controlled by purge VSV duty cycle ratio (current-carrying time). (Open: ON, Closed: OFF) Refueling valve Controls EVAP pressure from fuel tank to canister. Valve consists of diaphragm, spring and restrictor (diameter: 0.08 inch). When fuel vapor and pressure inside fuel tank increase, valve opens. While EVAP purged, valve closes and restrictor prevents large amount of vacuum from affecting pressure in fuel tank. Valve opened while refueling. Roll-over valve Located in fuel tank. Valve closes by its own weight when vehicle overturns to prevent fuel from spilling out. Soak timer Built into ECM. To ensure accurate EVAP monitor, measures 5 hours (+/-15 minutes) after engine switch turned off. This allows fuel to cool down, stabilizing EVAP pressure. When approximately 5 hours elapsed, ECM activates (Scheme 100) Canister pump module Consists of (a) to (d) below. Canister pump module cannot be disassembled. (a) Vent valve Vents and closes EVAP system. When ECM turns valve ON, EVAP system closed. When, ECM turns valve OFF, EVAP system vented. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system to check for EVAP leaks by closing purge VSV, turning on vent valve (closed) and operating leak detection pump see scheme 62 (b) Canister pressure sensor Indicates pressure as voltages. ECM supplies regulated 5 V to canister pressure sensor, and uses feedback from sensor to monitor EVAP system pressure (Scheme 99) (c) Leak detection pump Creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system for leak check. (d) Reference orifice Has opening with 0.02 inch diameter. Vacuum produced through orifice by closing purge VSV, turning off vent valve and operating leak detection pump, to monitor reference pressure. Reference pressure indicates small leak of EVAP.

Note. The Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

HINT

  1. Using the Techstream monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be confirmed.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

Scheme 131

When the engine switch is turned on (IG), the battery voltage is applied to terminal IGSW of the ECM. The ECM MREL output signal causes a current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the EFI relay (EFI MAIN2) and supplying power to terminal +B and +B2 of the ECM.

If the engine switch is turned off, the ECM holds the EFI relay (EFI MAIN2) ON for a maximum of 2 seconds to allow for the initial setting of the throttle valve.

When the engine switch is turned on (IG), voltage from the ECM's MREL terminal is applied to the EFI relay (EFI MAIN2). This causes the contacts of the EFI relay (EFI MAIN2) to close, which supplies power to terminal +B and +B2 of the ECM.

The ECM constantly uses 5 V from the battery voltages supplied to the +B (BATT) terminal to operate the microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC output circuit.

Scheme 141

Scheme 141: DESCRIPTION

When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and sensors that are supplied power through the VC circuit are inactivated because the power is not supplied from the VC circuit. Under this condition, the system does not start up and the MIL does not illuminate even if the system malfunctions.

HINT

Under normal conditions, the MIL is illuminated for several seconds when the engine switch is first turned on (IG). The MIL goes off when the engine is started.

The cranking holding control system provides current to the starter when the ECM detects the engine switch's start signal (STSW). When the ECM performs a firing judgment, the system cuts current to the starter. When the ECM receives the STSW signal, it turns on the ST CUT relay, which prevents flickering of the combination meter, clock, audio system, etc. Also, the ECM sends a signal to the ECM's STAR terminal. Then the STAR output signal travels through the park/neutral position (PNP) switch to the STARTER relay, causing the starter to activate.

When the engine is cranking, the starter operation signal is sent to the ECM's STA terminal.
