Diagnostic Procedure

DTC P2109:00 (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5) - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED 
  • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the throttle body connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Verify that the throttle body connector is disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • Throttle body terminal E
    • Throttle body terminal F
  • Is there continuity?
Yes If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness:
  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
    • Throttle body terminal E-PCM terminal 1CG
    • Throttle body terminal F-PCM terminal 1CC

    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.

If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness:

Go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Verify that the throttle body and PCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
    NOTE:
    • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Throttle body terminal E-PCM terminal 1CG
    • Throttle body terminal F-PCM terminal 1CC
  • Is the voltage 0 V  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Throttle body terminal E-PCM terminal 1CG
  • Throttle body terminal F-PCM terminal 1CC

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 10.
7 INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the throttle body and PCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Throttle body terminal E-PCM terminal 1CG
    • Throttle body terminal F-PCM terminal 1CC
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Throttle body terminal E-PCM terminal 1CG
  • Throttle body terminal F-PCM terminal 1CC

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 10.
8 INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE 
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
9 INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR 
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
10 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
11 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
