DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Plausibility check
  • Poor connector connection
  • Short to ground in harness
  • IATS
  • ECM
Enable Condition Case1
  • Engine speed during engine start is greater than between 928 to 1312rpm (Depends on coolant temperature)
  • Normal auxiliary battery voltage (11 to 16V)
