DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0651 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the PCM and these parts. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

    • CMP sensor A
    • CMP sensor B
    • EGR valve
    • Rocker arm oil pressure sensor
    • Transmission fluid pressure sensor
    • APP sensor
    • A/C pressure sensor
    • EVAP leak check module (KA, KC)
    • FTP sensor (KA, KC)
  2. Determine possible failure area (VCC lines, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CMP sensor A 3P connector
    CMP sensor B 3P connector
    EGR valve 5P connector
    Rocker arm oil pressure sensor 3P connector
    Transmission fluid pressure sensor 3P connector
    APP sensor 6P connector
    A/C pressure sensor 3P connector
    EVAP leak check module 8P connector (KA, KC)
    FTP sensor 3P connector (KA, KC)

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -5. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -6. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -7. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0651 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Shorted part check:

    Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS while reconnecting these parts, one at a time:

    • CMP sensor A
    • CMP sensor B
    • EGR valve
    • Rocker arm oil pressure sensor
    • Transmission fluid pressure sensor
    • APP sensor
    • A/C pressure sensor
    • EVAP leak check module (KA, KC)
    • FTP sensor (KA, KC)
    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC
    P0651 Sensor Reference Voltage B Malfunction    

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0651 indicated?

    YES 

    Replace the part that caused the DTC when it was reconnected.

    NO 

    Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the PCM and the following parts, then go to step 1.

    • CMP sensor A
    • CMP sensor B
    • EGR valve
    • Rocker arm oil pressure sensor
    • Transmission fluid pressure sensor
    • APP sensor
    • A/C pressure sensor
    • EVAP leak check module (KA, KC)
    • FTP sensor (KA, KC)
  4. Shorted wire check (VCC lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    -3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    PCM connector A (50P)
    PCM connector E (80P)

    -4. Check for continuity between these test points and body ground individually.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    CMP sensor A 3P connector: disconnected
    CMP sensor B 3P connector: disconnected
    EGR valve 5P connector: disconnected
    Rocker arm oil pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    Transmission fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
    A/C pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    EVAP leak check module 8P connector (KA, KC): disconnected
    FTP sensor 3P connector (KA, KC): disconnected
    PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
    PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Connector Terminal
    PCM connector A (50P) No. 44
    PCM connector E (80P) No. 63 and No. 77

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the VCC wire(s) between the PCM (A44, E63, E77) and each part that was disconnected in step 2.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  5. Shorted wire check (VCC lines to power)

    -1. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -3. Measure the voltage between these test points and body ground individually.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    CMP sensor A 3P connector: disconnected
    CMP sensor B 3P connector: disconnected
    EGR valve 5P connector: disconnected
    Rocker arm oil pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    Transmission fluid pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
    A/C pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    EVAP leak check module 8P connector (KA, KC): disconnected
    FTP sensor 3P connector (KA, KC): disconnected
    PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
    PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Connector Terminal
    PCM connector A (50P) No. 44
    PCM connector E (80P) No. 63 and No. 77

    Is there any voltage?

    YES 

    Repair a short to power in the VCC wire(s) between the PCM (A44, E63, E77) and each part that was disconnected in step 2.

    NO 

    The VCC wires are OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0651 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .
