  • Is the DTC P0171:00 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA.
(See DTC TABLE .)
3 PURPOSE: RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION 
NOTE:
  • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
  • Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data on the repair order.
 - Go to the next step.
4 PURPOSE: VERIFY IF INPUT SIGNAL TO PCM AFFECTS FUEL INJECTION 
 Yes Inspect the suspected sensor and related wiring harness.
  • If there is any malfunction:
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
    • Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 20.
    • If there is no malfunction:
    • Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.

    • MAP
    • MAP_V
    • IAT2
    • VT_EX_ACT
    • VT_IN_ACT
    • When the following parts are shaken, does the PID value include a PID item which has changed?
    • High fuel pressure sensor
    • Fuel pump control module
    • Purge solenoid valve
    • MAF sensor
    • MAP sensor/IAT sensor No. 2
    • OCV
    • Electric variable valve timing motor/driver

 Yes Repair or replace the applicable connector parts. Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 20.
No Go to the next step.
6 PURPOSE: VERIFY FUEL PRESSURE (HIGH-SIDE) MALFUNCTION 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Start the engine and idle it.
  • Access the FUEL_PRES PID using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
  • Is the FUEL_PRES PID value approx. 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm 2 , 435 psi}?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No FUEL_PRES PID value is lower than 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm 2 , 435 psi}:
  • Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 1. FUEL_PRES PID value is higher than 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm 2 , 435 psi}:

    Go to Step 8.
7 PURPOSE: VERIFY FUEL PRESSURE (LOW-SIDE) MALFUNCTION 
NOTE:
  • Verify the fuel pressure on the low pressure side with the operation of the high pressure fuel pump turned off.
  • Bleed the remaining pressure in the fuel line using the following procedure.
    1. Switch the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the high pressure fuel pump connector.
    3. Disconnect the fuel pump relay.
    4. Start the engine and wait until the engine stalls.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Install the fuel pump relay.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
  • Display PID FUEL_PRES and simulation item FP using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
  • Turn simulation item FP on.
  • Is the FUEL_PRES PID value 550 kPa {5.61 kgf/cm 2 , 79.8 psi} or more?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 5.
8 PURPOSE: VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY FUEL INJECTOR IMPROPER OPERATION 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Start the engine and idle it.
  • Access the following simulation items using the M-MDS: (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
    • INJ_1
    • INJ_2
    • INJ_3
    • INJ_4
  • Turn each fuel injector from on to off using the simulation items.
  • Does the vibration during idling worsen?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 7.
9 PURPOSE: VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY PURGE SOLENOID VALVE IMPROPER OPERATION 
  • Start the engine and idle it.
  • Access the EVAPCP PID using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
  • Is the EVAPCP PID value normal?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 8.
10 PURPOSE: VERIFY MAF SENSOR 
  • Start the engine and idle it.
  • Access the MAF PID using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
  • Is the MAF PID value normal?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 10.
11 PURPOSE: VERIFY MAP SENSOR 
  • Start the engine and idle it.
  • Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS: (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
    • MAP
    • MAP_V
  • Are all items normal?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 12.

    • VT_IN_DES
  • Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed.
  • Does the monitor value of the PID item VT_IN_ACT conform to the VT_IN_DES PID value?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 14.
13 PURPOSE: VERIFY EXHAUST VALVE TIMING 
  • Start the engine and idle it.

    • VT_EX_ACT
    • VT_EX_DES
  • Perform the following:
    1. Warm up the engine to allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 80°C {176°F} or more.
    2. Shift to D position and rapidly accelerate the vehicle to 50 km/h {31 mph} (to operate hydraulic variable valve timing control).
    3. Decelerate to idling.
    4. Shift to D position and rapidly accelerate the vehicle to 50 km/h {31 mph} again.
