DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch assembly is part of a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. This DTC indicates that the stop light switch assembly is remaining on. When the stop light switch assembly remains on during "STOP and GO" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch assembly. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch assembly is remaining on. When the stop light switch assembly remains on during "STOP and GO" driving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the stop light switch assembly, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC. The vehicle must STOP (less than 3 km/h [1.86 mph]) and GO (30 km/h [18.65 mph] 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 ignition 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 run out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when the engine stalls due to running out of fuel.

P1605

This DTC is stored if the engine speed drops below the set speed.

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 ran out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when idling is unstable due to running out of fuel.

The Tumble Control Valve (TCV) is built into the intake manifold. The intake air control valve actuator (for tumble control valve) is composed of a position sensor and a DC motor. The DC motor opens and closes the tumble control valve in response to signals from the ECM. The position sensor detects the opening angle of the tumble control valve.

When the tumble control valve is closed, the intake air tumble flow intensifies and negative pressure is generated between the tumble control valve and intake valve which atomizes the fuel. Combustion is enhanced and exhaust gas emissions are reduced at low temperatures.

When the voltage of the intake air control valve actuator deviates from the standard range, the ECM determines that a malfunction has occurred and stores a DTC.

The Tumble Control Valve (TCV) position sensor is a non-contact type sensor.

The position sensor measures the opening angle of the tumble control valve. The sensor is reliable and accurate, as it is electrically controlled by Hall-effect elements.

HINT

When DTC P2014, P2016 or P2017 is output, use the Techstream to confirm the IAC Sensor Voltage (tumble control valve position sensor output voltage). Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Gas Intake Control / IAC Sensor Voltage.

IAC Sensor VoltageMalfunction
0.2 V or lessIAC1 circuit shorted VCIA circuit open
4.8 V or higherVCIA and IAC1 circuits shorted IAC1 circuit open EIA1 circuit open

The ECM IAC1 terminal voltage increases in correlation with the opening angle of the tumble control valve. When the tumble control valve is fully closed, approximately 0.94 V is applied to the IAC1 terminal. When the tumble control valve is fully open, approximately 3.39 V is applied to the IAC1 terminal.

When the output voltage of the IAC1 terminal deviates from the standard range, the ECM determines that a malfunction has occurred in the position sensor and stores a DTC.

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 with motor 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 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 stores a DTC.

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.

P2109Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor "A" Minimum Stop PerformanceThe ISC learned value is approximately 3 times larger than normal even though the actual intake air amount during idle is within the normal range (up to 1.5 times the normal amount) (5 trip detection logic).Throttle body with motor assemblyDoes not come onDTC stored

HINT

  1. The ISC learned value is the calculated intake air amount corresponding to the throttle opening amount necessary to maintain the idling speed.
  2. This malfunction is only detected once per trip. After it has been detected once, the system will not monitor for the malfunction for the rest of the trip.
  3. The system uses the throttle body with motor assembly and mass air flow meter sub-assembly to detect this malfunction.

If there are deposits in the throttle valve, a decrease in the ISC flow rate may cause engine stall or unstable idling. Therefore, the necessary ISC flow rate for idling is maintained using the ISC learned value and feedback. The ECM stores this DTC if the ISC learned value approaches its limit. The ECM begins monitoring for the DTC detection conditions when the following preconditions are met

1) The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is normal.

2) Atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa(abs) [637.6 mmHg(abs)] or higher.

3) The vehicle has been driven at a speed of 30 km/h (18.7 mph) or more at least once.

4) 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, or the ignition switch has been turned to ON (including when the engine is running) for 1 hour or more, the engine is warmed up and conditions for ISC learning are met.

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 with motor 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.
