HINT:
·

If the engine malfunction disappears when the fuel injection volume is increased or decreased using the "Control the Injection Volume", the respective cylinder may be malfunctioning.

·

If the engine is difficult to start only when the vehicle has been left as is for a long time, a leaking fuel injector assembly is suspected.




Fuel system
Main cause of malfunction Fuel suction plate sub-assembly or fuel main valve assembly malfunction
Problem symptom Engine is difficult to start due to insufficient fuel supply
HINT:
·

If the fuel suction plate sub-assembly or fuel main valve assembly cannot maintain residual pressure, fuel vaporization or air intrusion may occur, causing starting difficulty.

·

If the air fuel ratio becomes lean only when the engine is running under a high load and at a high engine speed, clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter is suspected.

·

Engine speed fluctuation due to abnormal combustion

·

Idle speed too low or high

Compression loss

·

Accumulation of deposits

(Combustion chamber, intake valve or intake manifold)


Problem symptom
·

Engine speed fluctuation due to abnormal combustion

·

Idle speed too low or high

·

Hesitation during acceleration or stalling


HINT:
·

If deposits have accumulated in the combustion chamber or on an intake valve, the engine may stall when deposits are caught on an intake valve.

·

When performing the Active Test "Check the Cylinder Compression", if the speed of one cylinder is higher than the others, the cylinder may have a compression loss.

·

If deposits accumulate on the intake valves, the supply of fuel may be delayed due to adherence of the fuel to the deposits, causing a rough idle.

Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data Items Related to Engine Difficult to Start


HINT:

The frequency of the malfunction can be determined by confirming the number of times the symptom occurred.

·

Engine Difficult to Start Count (Engine Starting Time Long)

·

Engine Difficult to Start Count (Immobiliser)




CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:
·

If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

·

Make sure to reproduce the conditions present when the malfunction occurred.

·

Using the GTS, read the Data List to confirm the engine operating conditions. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

·

The vehicle condition when the problem symptoms occurred can be determined using the Vehicle Control History.

·

As the Vehicle Control History data may be overwritten whenever the trigger conditions are met, make sure to save the Vehicle Control History data before performing any inspections.

·

If the problem symptoms do not recur, attempt to reproduce the symptoms and conditions when the malfunction occurred based on the result of the customer problem analysis and Vehicle Control History. Place the priority on confirming the symptoms.

·

When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.

·

The suspected cause of the problem symptoms can be determined using the codes, items, and Freeze Frame Data within the Vehicle Control History.

·

When confirming the Freeze Frame Data, be sure to check all multi Freeze Frame Data.

·

When confirming the Freeze Frame Data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.

·

If the malfunction is currently occurring, use the Data List to confirm the current vehicle condition. By using the Data List, more detailed vehicle information can be confirmed than by using the Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data by itself.

·

As Vehicle Control History may be stored when performing an Active Test, learning, etc., make sure to clear the Vehicle Control History before returning the vehicle to the customer.

·

If the engine is started immediately after reconnecting the battery terminal, the engine may stall immediately after it starts due to the intercommunication process between each ECU. For this reason, when starting the engine after reconnecting the battery terminal, first turn the ignition switch to ON and then wait several seconds for the communication process to complete before starting the engine.



PROCEDURE

1.INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER
a.

Interview the customer for details about the conditions when the engine was difficult to start.

HINT:

In addition to the usual questions, be sure to ask the customer about the specific details when the problem symptoms occurred.

Condition When Problem Symptom Occurred Suspected Area

HINT:
·

"Total FT Bank 1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT Bank 1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT B1S1" and "Long FT B1S1".

·

An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 Bank 1 and A/F Learn Value High Bank 1.

·

The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +20% or more):

(a)

Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume

(b)

Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)

(c)

Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly

(d)

Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly or fuel suction plate sub-assembly)


·

On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value High Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.

·

On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.

·

The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -20% or less):

(a)

Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume

(b)

Purge VSV system
