Testing & Diagnostics 61 illustrations ~28831 words

DESCRIPTION

If the engine does not start or it takes a long time for the engine to start although the ECM is receiving the engine start request signal from the power management control ECU via CAN communication, this DTC will be stored.

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.

It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel before starting diagnosis because this DTC is also stored due to running out of fuel.

DTC No.DTC Detection Condition
P1604Either of the conditions is met (1 trip detection logic): The engine speed is less than 500 rpm with the engine start signal on for a certain amount of time (refer to the illustration below) After the engine starts (engine speed is 500 rpm or more), the engine speed drops to 200 rpm or less

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 DTCs other than P1604 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  3. Since DTC P1604 is different from other DTCs, the following procedure is shown as a reference.
  4. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. 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»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-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.

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.

HINT

This Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2102Both of the following conditions continue for 2.0 seconds (1 trip detection logic): (a) The throttle actuator drive duty cycle is 80% or higher. (b) The throttle actuator current is less than 0.5 A.Open in throttle actuator circuit Throttle actuator ECM
P2103Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic): A hybrid IC diagnosis signal failure. A hybrid IC high current limiter monitor input failure.Short in throttle actuator circuit Throttle actuator Throttle valve Throttle body with motor 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 stores a DTC.

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

FAIL-SAFE

When either of these DTCs or other DTCs relating to Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) malfunctions are stored, 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 5.5° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM stops the engine and the vehicle can be driver using solely the hybrid system. 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 ignition switch is then turned off.

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

HINT

  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 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.
  2. The throttle actuator current (Throttle Motor Current) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (Throttle Motor Duty (Open) / Throttle Motor Duty (Close)) 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
P2109The ISC learned value is approximately 3 times larger than normal even though the actual intake air amount during idling is within the normal range (up to 1.5 times the normal amount) (5 trip detection logic).Throttle body with motor assembly

HINT

  1. The ISC learned value is the calculated intake air amount corresponding to the throttle opening amount necessary to maintain the idle 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. 1) The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is normal.
  2. 2) Atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa(abs) [638 mmHg(abs)] or higher.
  3. 3) The vehicle has been driven at a speed of 30 km/h (18.6 mph) or more at least once.
  4. 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 (IG) (include engine running) for 1 hour or more, the engine is warmed up and conditions for ISC learning are met.

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.
  2. 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.

The electronic throttle control system has a dedicated power supply circuit. The voltage (+BM) is monitored and when it is low (below 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 ignition switch off. The ECM then allows the current to flow to the throttle actuator so that it can be restarted.

HINT

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

HINT

Although the DTC titles say oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor.

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 duration. If the air fuel ratio sensor malfunctions, the ECM is unable to control the air fuel ratio accurately.

The air fuel ratio sensor is a 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 a narrow type. The heat generated by the heater is conducted to the solid electrolyte through the alumina, and therefore 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 a current output element, the 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.

  1. When any of these DTCs is stored, check the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output by entering the following menus on the Techstream: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Gas AF Control / AFS Voltage B1S1.
  2. Short-term fuel trim values can also be read using the Techstream.
  3. The ECM regulates the voltages at the A1A+ and A1A- terminals of the ECM to a constant level. Therefore, the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output cannot be confirmed without using the Techstream.
  4. If an air fuel ratio sensor malfunction is detected, the ECM stores a DTC.

Sensor Voltage Detection Monitor

Under air fuel ratio feedback control, If the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage is less than 2.8 V (very rich condition) for 5 seconds despite the heated oxygen sensor output voltage being less than 0.69 V, the ECM stores DTC P2196. Alternatively, if the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage is higher than 3.8 V (very lean condition) for 5 seconds despite the heated oxygen sensor output voltage being 0.21 V or higher, DTC P2195 is stored.

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 2.2 mA or higher for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor and stores DTC P2195 (stuck on high side). If the air fuel ratio sensor output is less than 0.7 mA for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM stores DTC P2196 (stuck on low side).

P219AThe difference in air fuel ratios between the cylinders exceeds the threshold (2 trip detection logic).Fuel injector assembly Intake system Gas leaks from exhaust system Ignition system Compression pressure Air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) ECM

Fuel System Air Fuel Ratio Cylinder Imbalance Monitor

The ECM uses the air fuel ratio sensor and crank position sensor to monitor the difference in air fuel ratios between the cylinders caused by differences in injection volumes between the cylinders, leakage in the intake or exhaust system, etc.

When the air fuel ratios of the cylinders are lean or rich with respect to each other, the ECM determines that a problem is present and stores a DTC.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method

When the system detects a difference in air fuel ratios between the cylinders due to fluctuation in the air fuel ratio sensor output over 1 engine cycle (2 crankshaft revolutions), the system determines that there is a problem.

Crank Position Sensor Monitoring Method

The system monitors the engine speed variation and when the variation becomes large, the system determines that there is a difference in air fuel ratios between the cylinders, which it determines to be a problem.

These DTCs are output when there is an open or short in the air fuel ratio sensor circuit, or if the air fuel ratio sensor output drops. To detect these problems, the voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor is monitored when turning the ignition switch to 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 higher than 0.5 V, and 4.5 V or less it is considered normal. If the voltage is out of the specified range, or the admittance is less than the standard value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor. If the same malfunction is detected in next driving cycle, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.

HINT

The vent valve is built into 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 (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 hours (7 or 9.5 hours) after ignition switch is 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 then EVAP system pressure is measured. Write down measured value as they 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 there is a leak in EVAP system.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.

P2420: Vent valve stuck open (vent)

In operation C, the vent valve turns on (closed) and the EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor to conduct an EVAP leak check. If the pressure does not increase when the vent valve is open, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

Note. The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 6 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 24 minutes. Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is higher 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 ignition switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed after turning the ignition switch off, the soak timer activates the ECM to perform malfunction checks which can only be performed after the engine is stopped. The soak timer is built into the ECM.

Scheme 57

Scheme 57: DESCRIPTION
  1. 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 stores the DTC.
  2. If the soak timer activates the ECM even though only a short amount of time has elapsed since the ignition 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 ignition switch was turned off, the ECM determines that the soak timer is malfunctioning, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC the next time the ignition switch is turned to ON (IG).

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.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P261BEngine water pump assembly speed is less than 900 rpm while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic).Open or short in engine water pump assembly circuit Engine water pump assembly ECM
P261CEngine water pump assembly output voltage is less than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic).Short in engine water pump assembly circuit Engine water pump assembly ECM
P261DEngine water pump assembly output voltage is higher than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic).Open in engine water pump assembly circuit Engine water pump assembly ECM

The ECM calculates the speed of the engine water pump assembly using a duty cycle signal sent from the engine water pump assembly. When the speed of the engine water pump assembly becomes less than 900 rpm while it is operating, the ECM detects the malfunction and stores DTC P261B.

The engine water pump assembly operates steplessly based on a duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. If actual drive duty cycle ratio does not correspond to the target drive duty cycle of the engine water pump assembly, the ECM detects the malfunction.

From the power management control ECU, the ECM receives data such as engine power output required (required output), estimated torque produced by the engine (estimated torque), engine speed target (target speed), and whether the engine is in start mode or not. Then, based on the required output and target speed, the ECM calculates a target torque that is to be produced by the engine and compares it with the estimated torque. If the estimated torque is very low compared with the target torque, or the engine start mode continues for the specific duration calculated by the coolant temperature, an abnormal condition is detected.

Note. In the EVAP system of this vehicle, 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 atmospheric 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 fuel vapors stored in the canister are purged to 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 negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.

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

  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 ignition switch is turned off. At least 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 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.
  2. Purge flow monitor The purge flow monitor consists of the 2 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 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 of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

(a) Vent valve Vents and closes EVAP system. When ECM turns valve on, EVAP system is closed. When ECM turns valve off, EVAP system is vented. Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system to check for EVAP leaks by closing purge VSV, turning on vent valve (closing it) and operating leak detection pump (Scheme 42) (b) Canister pressure sensor Indicates pressure as voltages. ECM supplies regulated 5 V to pressure sensor, and uses feedback from sensor to monitor EVAP system pressure (Scheme 43) (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 is produced through orifice by closing purge VSV, turning off vent valve and operating leak detection pump, to monitor reference pressure. Reference pressure is used when checking for small EVAP leaks.

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

Scheme 94

Scheme 94: DESCRIPTION

When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and the sensors that are supplied with power through the VC circuit are inactivated because 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 when the ignition switch is turned to ON (IG). The MIL goes off when the ignition switch ON (READY).

When the engine is cranked, the start request signal output from the power management control ECU *1, or ignition or starter switch assembly*2 is input to the ECM, and the NE signal generated by the crank position sensor is also input to the NE+ terminal. Thus, the ECM interprets that the engine has been cranked, and turns transistor Tr1 in the ECM internal circuit on. Current flows to the C/OPN (Circuit Opening) relay by turning Tr1 on. Then, the fuel pump with filter assembly operates.

While the NE signal is input to the ECM with the engine running, the ECM turns Tr1 on continuously.
