RM3660EC _51 Engine / Hybrid System _080777 NR Series ENGINE CONTROL _0393969 SFI SYSTEM C

NR Series ENGINE CONTROL  SFI SYSTEM  P050B00  Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance  


MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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 12 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 below 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).

NOTICE:

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.


HINT:

Idle speed control learning is performed when the engine is warmed up and has been idling for 5 minutes.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:
·

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>NR Series (ENGINE CONTROL)>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR

·

When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>NR Series (ENGINE CONTROL)>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR



1.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3.

Turn the GTS on.

4.

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

5.

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

6.

Start the engine and warm it up for 5 minutes or more.

7.

Stop the engine.

8.

Leave the vehicle outside overnight.

9.

Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].

10.

Turn the GTS on.

11.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temperature.

12.

Check that the value of the Data List item Coolant Temperature is between -10 and 50°C (14 and 122°F).

13.

Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is the same as the coolant temperature in the Freeze Frame Data.

14.

Idle the engine for 1 minute or more [B].

15.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].

16.

Read the pending DTC.

HINT:
·

If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

·

If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.



17.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

18.

Input the DTC: P050B00.

19.

Check the DTC judgment result.

GTS Display Description

·

Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions



HINT:
·

If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.

·

If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.

·

If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, idle the engine for 3 minutes, let the engine cool down, and then perform steps [A] through [C] again.

·

[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.

The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

·

When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

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


HINT:
·

DTC P050B00 may be output when the engine has the symptoms listed below. If necessary, check the trouble areas listed below.

Symptom Factor Trouble Area

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 be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
