DESCRIPTION

The idle speed is controlled by the electronic throttle control system. The electronic throttle control system is comprised of: 1) one valve type throttle with motor body assembly; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the throttle position sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the accelerator pedal position sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; 5) the ECM, which controls the electronic throttle control system. Based on the target idling speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the idling speed and idling air flow volume to conduct idle speed control. The ECM determines that the idle speed control system is malfunctioning if either of the following conditions are met

  1. The difference between the target engine idling speed and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold and the idle speed control flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit for 5 seconds or more.
  2. After driving at a vehicle speed of 6.25 mph (10 km/h) or more, the difference between the target and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold 5 times or more during a driving cycle, and then the system determines that the idle speed control flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit, or that the idle speed control flow rate learned value has been changed by an amount that exceeds the threshold.

The ECM monitors the idling speed and idling air flow volume to conduct idle speed control. The ECM determines that the idle speed control system is malfunctioning if either of the following conditions are met

  1. The difference between the target engine idling speed and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold and the idle speed control flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit for 5 seconds or more.
  2. After driving at a vehicle speed of 6.25 mph (10 km/h) or more, the difference between the target and actual engine idling speed exceeds the threshold 5 times or more during a driving cycle, and then the system determines that the idle speed control flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit, or that the idle speed control flow rate learned value has been changed by an amount that exceeds the threshold.

This monitor will run when the engine is started at -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) of the engine coolant temperature. The DTC will be set after the engine has been idling for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).

The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at a temperature lower than 50°C (122°F) of the engine coolant temperature, the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow when the engine is idling. If it does not reach the criteria within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).

The electronic throttle control system controls the idle speed. The electronic throttle control system operates the throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle speed.

Note. When the negative battery terminal is disconnected during inspection or repairs, the idle speed control learned values are cleared. idle speed control learning is performed when the engine has been warmed up and idled for 5 minutes because this DTC cannot be set after the idle speed control learned values are cleared.

This monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). The DTC is stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).

The DTC is designed to monitor the ignition timing at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of less than 50°C (122°F), the ECM checks the ignition timing during engine idling. If the ignition timing advances beyond the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).

The battery supplies electricity to the ECM even when the engine switch is off. This power allows the ECM to store data such as DTC history, freeze frame data and fuel trim values. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the stored ECM data is cleared and the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the power supply circuit. When the engine is next started, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and set the DTC.

The ECM continuously monitors its internal memory status. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. The ECM memory status is diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main CPU and sub CPU to detect Random Access Memory (RAM) errors. If outputs from these CPUs are different and deviate from the standard, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC immediately.

While the engine is being cranked, positive battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.

These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch assembly and the wire harness in the park/neutral position switch assembly circuit.

The park/neutral position switch assembly detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the ECM.

For security, the park/neutral position switch assembly detects the shift lever position so that the engine can be started only when the shift lever is in P or N.

The park/neutral position switch assembly sends a signal to the ECM according to the shift lever position (P, R, N, D, or S). The ECM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if it receives more than 1 position signal simultaneously. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving with the lock-up torque converter clutch on, when brakes are suddenly applied.

When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch assembly remains on. When the stop light switch assembly remains on during "stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and the MIL comes on and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 1.86 mph (3 km/h)) and go (18.65 mph (30 km/h) or more) 5 times during 2 driving cycles, in order to detect a malfunction.

After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the engine switch being operated.

Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

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