Diagnostic Procedure

NO. 2 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 VERIFY PCM DTC 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
No Go to the next step.
2 INSPECT COMMUNICATION LINE BETWEEN PCM AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 
  • Inspect for a short or open circuit between the following terminals:
    • Instrument cluster terminal B-Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2K
    • Instrument cluster terminal D-Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 21
    • Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2P-PCM terminal 2AK
    • Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2N-PCM terminal 2AL
  • Is the wiring harness normal?
Yes Inspect the instrument cluster.
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSPECTION .)
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Instrument cluster terminal B-Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2K
  • Instrument cluster terminal D-Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2I
  • Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2P- PCM terminal 2AK
  • Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2N- PCM terminal 2AL

If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground or open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground or open circuit.
3 Verify the test results.
  • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.

    (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX .)

  • If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Bulletins and/or On-line Repair Information and perform repair or diagnosis.
    • If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
    • If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if a later calibration is available. Retest.
