DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy Case1, 2
  • Engine speed is below the target while ISC torque is at the maximum during catalyst heating phase
  • Intake air restriction
  • Exhaust restriction
  • Engine mechanical concern
  • Damaged or sludgy throttle body
  • Vacuum leaks
  • Damaged ECM
Case3
  • Fuel cut-off during stand-still, idle condition and catalyst heating phase
Enable Conditions
  • Vehicle speed is same as 0 km/h (0 mph)
  • Accelerator pedal is 0%
  • After catalyst heating is greater than 0s
  • Catalyst heating is active
  • Remark:

    (Catalyst heating condition)

    • ECT at start is between -12 and 42°C (50 and 107.6°F)
    • IAT is greater than -12°C (50°F)
    • BARO is greater than 75.4 kPa

      (Accelerator pedal)

    • % value of APS1 value, if APS1 has a fault, APS2 is used instead
Threshold Value Case1
  • Difference between target engine speed and actual engine speed is greater than 100 RPM
  • Difference between maximum idle torque and actual idle torque is less than 10Nm
Case2
  • Difference between actual engine speed and target engine speed is greater than 200 RPM
  • Difference between actual idle torque and min. idle torque is less than 20Nm
Case3
  • Greater than 3 times
Diagnostic Time
  • 12s (Once per driving cycle)
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
