DESCRIPTION

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. Extremely high hydrocarbon concentration levels can cause an increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely high concentrations of hydrocarbons can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter temperature, which may cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire count. When the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter reaches the point of thermal degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the cam position sensor and the crank position sensor. The cam position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crank position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds. If the misfire count exceeds the threshold levels, and could cause emission control system performance deterioration, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304Misfiring of a specific cylinder occurs and one of the following conditions is met (2 trip detection logic). A misfire occurs that may damage the three-way catalytic converter (MIL blinks when detect immediately). An emission deterioration misfire occurs (MIL illuminates).

When DTCs for misfiring cylinders are randomly stored, but DTC P0300 is not stored, it indicates that misfires have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only stored when several misfiring cylinders are detected at the same time.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

  1. Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive number of misfires (approximately 10 to 70 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
  2. An excessive number of misfires (approximately 10 to 70 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.

The ECM flashes the MIL (immediate detection logic) and stores a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when either one of the following conditions, which could cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter, is detected.

  1. At a high engine speed, a sufficient amount of misfires to damage the catalyst occurring within 200 crankshaft revolutions is detected once.
  2. At a normal engine speed, a sufficient amount of misfires to damage the catalyst occurring within 200 crankshaft revolutions is detected 3 times.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Record the DTC(s) and freeze frame data.
  5. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  6. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to «INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/hoistjack/#introduction) .
  7. Using the Techstream, switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode. Refer to «CHECK MODE PROCEDURE»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__check-mode-procedure) .
  8. Read the misfire counts of each cylinder, Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count, with the engine idling. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.
  9. Drive the vehicle so that the vehicle conditions displayed in Misfire RPM and Misfire Load of the Data List are the same as the freeze frame data. Perform this step several times. HINT: In order to store misfire DTCs, it is necessary to operate the vehicle for the period of time shown in the table below, confirm the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List. Engine speed Duration Idling 4.5 minutes or more 1000 4.5 minutes or more 2000 2.5 minutes or more 3000 1.5 minutes or more
  10. Check whether misfires have occurred by checking DTCs and freeze frame data. HINT: Do not turn the ignition switch off until the output DTC(s) and freeze frame data have been recorded. When the ECM returns to normal mode (default), the stored DTC(s), freeze frame data and other data are cleared.
  11. Record the DTC(s), freeze frame data and misfire counts.
  12. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  13. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note. Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT

  1. If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  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 help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  3. If the misfire does not recur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, reproduce the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data.
  4. If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data have been reproduced, one of the following factors is considered to be a possible cause of the problem: There was insufficient fuel in the tank. Improper fuel was used. The spark plugs have been contaminated. The problem requires further diagnosis.
  5. After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders (Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count).
  6. Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are stored again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.
  7. When one of Short FT #1 or Long FT #1 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-20%, the air fuel ratio may be rich (-20% or less) or lean (20% or higher).
  8. When Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is below 75°C (167°F), the misfires have occurred only while warming up the engine.
  9. An extremely imbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs to be stored.

A flat-type knock control sensor (non-resonant type) has a structure that can detect vibrations between approximately 5 kHz and 15 kHz.

The knock control sensor is fitted onto the engine block to detect engine knocking.

The knock control sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed.

The voltage is generated when the engine block vibrates due to knocking. Any occurrence of engine knocking can be suppressed by delaying the ignition timing.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0327The output voltage of the knock control sensor is less than 0.5 V for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic).Short in knock control sensor circuit Knock control sensor ECM
P0328The output voltage of the knock control sensor is higher than 4.5 V for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic).Open in knock control sensor circuit Knock control sensor ECM

HINT

When DTC P0327 or P0328 is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is delayed to its maximum retardation. Fail-safe mode continues until the ignition switch is turned off.

The crank position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate and a pickup coil.

The crank angle sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper wire, an iron core and magnet. The crank angle sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes by the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals per crankshaft revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine speed. Using these calculations, the fuel injection and ignition timing are controlled.

The cam position sensor consists of a magnet and an iron core which is wrapped with copper wire, and is installed onto the cylinder head. When the camshaft rotates, each of 3 teeth on the camshaft timing rotor passes through the cam position sensor. This activates the internal magnet in the sensor, generating a voltage in the copper wire. The camshaft rotation is synchronized with the crankshaft rotation. When the crankshaft turns twice, the voltage is generated 3 times in the cam position sensor. The generated voltage in the sensor acts as a signal, allowing the ECM to locate the camshaft position. This signal is then used to control ignition timing, fuel injection timing, and the VVT system.

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.

The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil assembly and one spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. The spark of the spark plugs passes from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.

The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (IGT) signals to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches the current supplied to the primary coil on and off. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation (IGF) signal to the ECM for each cylinder ignition.

Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to the engine's combustion chambers and thus lowers the combustion temperature to reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, coolant temperature, electric load, and vehicle speed. When the EGR permission conditions are fulfilled, the ECM controls the opening of the EGR valve linearly through signals to the EGR step motor.

The ECM uses sensors mounted in front of and behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to monitor its efficiency.

The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.

In order to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control.

The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the cycle of the waveform for the heated oxygen sensor is long, the oxygen storage capacity is great. There is a direct correlation between the heated oxygen sensor and the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter.

The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three-way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stored the DTC.

This system determines the deterioration of the entire catalyst system (including the front and rear catalysts), by using the oxygen storage capacity value of the front catalyst, that is more sensitive than the rear catalyst, as the representative value. Therefore, be sure to replace the front and rear catalysts together when catalyst replacement is necessary.

The reference orifice is located inside the canister pump module.

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

5 hours* after the ignition 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 less than 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not less than 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

AAtmospheric pressure measurementVent valve is turned off (vent) and EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system is not between 70 kPa(abs) and 110 kPa(abs) [525 mmHg(abs) and 825 mmHg(abs)], 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.360 seconds
CEVAP system pressure measurementVent valve is turned on (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure is 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*

TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

The leak detection pump creates negative pressure through the reference orifice (in operation B and E). When the system is normal, the EVAP pressure is between 97 to 100 kPa(abs) [726 to 750 mmHg(abs)]* and saturated within a minute. If not, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC if this malfunction is detected in consecutive drive cycles.

The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic). Purge VSV stuck closed In operation D, the canister pressure sensor measures the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system pressure. The pressure measurement for the purge VSV monitor begins when the purge VSV is turned on (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa(gauge) [2.25 mmHg(gauge)] or higher, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
  2. PURGE FLOW MONITOR The purge flow monitor consists of 2 monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
  1. The 1st monitor While the engine is running and the purge VSV 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.
  2. The 2nd monitor The vent valve is turned on (closed) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.5 kPa(gauge) [3.751 mmHg(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and stores 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.

  1. DTC P0451: Canister pressure sensor abnormal voltage fluctuation If the canister pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as the canister pressure sensor voltage fluctuating, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. (Malfunction is detected by 2 trip detection logic).
  2. DTC P0452: Canister pressure sensor voltage low If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is less than 0.45 V: 42.11 kPa(abs) [315.867 mmHg(abs)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (1 trip detection logic).
  3. DTC P0453: Canister pressure sensor voltage high If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is higher than 4.9 V: 123.761 kPa(abs) [928.331 mmHg(abs)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor.

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

5 hours*1 after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT

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

SequenceOperationDescriptionDuration
ECM activationActivated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after ignition switch turned off.
AAtmospheric pressure measurementVent valve is turned off (vent) and EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system is not between 70 kPa(abs) and 110 kPa(abs) [525 mmHg(abs) and 825 mmHg(abs)], 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.360 seconds
CEVAP system pressure measurementVent valve is turned on (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure is 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 is opened and then EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normal.10 seconds
ESecond reference pressure measurementAfter second reference pressure measurement, leak check is performed by comparing first and second reference pressure measurements. If stabilized system pressure is higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system is leaking.60 seconds
Final checkAtmospheric pressure is measured and then monitoring result is recorded by ECM.

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

The idle speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System). The ETCS is comprised of: 1) the one valve type throttle body; 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; and 5) the ECM, which controls the ETCS. Based on the target idle speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.

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 will be stored after the engine idles 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 an engine coolant temperature of less than 50°C (122°F), the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow during engine idling. If the accumulated mass air flow does not reach 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 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. The idle speed control learned values are cleared by performing a learned value reset. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored. To perform idle speed control learning, the engine must be warmed up by allowing it to idle for 5 minutes. For idle speed control learning to be successful, when the engine is started to warm it up, there must be at least 10 seconds of idling with the coolant temperature less than 50°C (122°F) before allowing it to continue running for the 5 minutes learning period.

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).

Note. The idle speed control learned values are cleared by performing a learned value reset. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored. To perform idle speed control learning, the engine must be warmed up by allowing it to idle for 5 minutes. For idle speed control learning to be successful, when the engine is started to warm it up, there must be at least 10 seconds of idling with the coolant temperature less than 50°C (122°F) before allowing it to continue running for the 5 minutes learning period.

The ECM controls the engine water pump assembly by calculating the necessary amount of coolant flow based on engine coolant temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed information. The speed of the engine water pump assembly is controlled steplessly using a duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. This optimal control enhances warm-up performance and reduces cooling losses, thus reducing the specific fuel consumption of the engine. The ECM monitors the speed of the engine water pump assembly and stores a DTC when it determines that the engine water pump assembly rotates excessively based on the fact that the actual speed is higher than the target for a certain amount of time. (However, the MIL will not illuminate.)
