Diagnostic Procedure

DTC B11DB 86 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Action
1 VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 9.
2 INSPECT CURRENT SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
3 INSPECT FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Disconnect the front body control module (FBCM) connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
4 INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the current sensor and front body control module (FBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2E (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article and verify whether or not there is a common connector between current sensor terminal B and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2E.
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.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY IN CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article and verify whether or not there is a common connector between current sensor terminal B and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2E.
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 power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 8.
6 INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the current sensor and front body control module (FBCM) connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)

  • Inspect the wiring harness for continuity between current sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2E (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article and verify whether or not there is a common connector between current sensor terminal B and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2E.
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 an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
7 INSPECT CURRENT SENSOR 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the current sensor, then go to the next step.
(See CURRENT SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
8 VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED 
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
9 VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED 
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
