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 camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft 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.

When DTCs for misfiring cylinders are randomly stored, but DTC P030000 is not stored, it indicates that misfires have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P030000 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).

·

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.

·

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.

·

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

·

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

HINT:
·
·

Permanent misfire and fuel system DTCs can only be cleared when performing the universal trip driving pattern when no malfunction is detected.



1.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3.

Turn the GTS 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).

8.

Start the engine.

9.

Read the misfire counts of each cylinder, Misfire Count Cylinder #1 to Misfire Count Cylinder #4, with the engine idling. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.

10.

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


11.

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.


12.

Record the DTC(s), Freeze Frame Data and misfire counts.

13.

Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

14.

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.


CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:
·

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

·

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

HINT:
·

In the past, when the primary ignition system (the igniter drive circuit in the ECM, the primary circuit in the ignition coil assembly, the related wire harness, or the connector) was out of order, diagnostic codes from P035113 to P035413 were output. However, these codes are not output in this vehicle.

When a failure in the primary ignition system is suspected, refer to "Catalyst OT Misfire Fuel Cut History", "Catalyst OT Misfire Fuel Cut Cylinder #1 to #4", and "Misfire Count Cylinder #1 to #4" in the Freeze Frame Data, the pending Freeze Frame Data, and the Data List, and confirm in which cylinder the high-frequency misfire was concentrated.

·

Referring to the following contents of the Freeze Frame Data (or the pending Freeze Frame Data) enables an estimation of which cylinder has misfired and to what degree.

-

Misfire Count Cylinder #1 to #4: Misfire count according to cylinder.

-

Catalyst OT Misfire Fuel Cut Cylinder #1 to #4: This expresses a high-frequency misfire was concentrated in a certain cylinder and that cylinder's fuel injection was stopped.


·

If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

·

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.

·

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:

(a)

There was insufficient fuel in the tank.

(b)

Improper fuel was used.

(c)

The spark plugs have been contaminated.

(d)

The problem requires further diagnosis.


·

After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders (Misfire Count Cylinder #1 to Misfire Count Cylinder #4).

·

Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are stored again by performing the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.

·

When one of Short FT B1S1, Long FT B1S1 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).

·

When Coolant Temperature in the Freeze Frame Data is less than 75°C (167°F), the misfires have occurred only while warming up the engine.

·

Vehicle body vibration caused by an extremely imbalanced drive wheel may cause misfire DTCs to be stored.

·

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. 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.

Confirm that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" then check the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure while performing the Active Test.

NOTICE:
·

Make sure that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" while performing the Active Test.

·

Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.

·

Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.

·

Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.



OK:

The value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure changes in response to the EGR step position when the value of Engine Independent is "Operate".


Standard:
- EGR Step Position (Active Test)
0 Steps 0 to 30 Steps
Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure
(Data List)
(EGR valve is fully closed) Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is at least +10 kPa (1.45 psi) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed


HINT:
·

If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).

·

While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be a malfunctioning.

·

Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
