Vehicle Moves When Accelerating From Standstill On Slope: Notes

VEHICLE MOVES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STANDSTILL ON SLOPE (SKYACTIV-G) TROUBLESHOOTING REFERENCE

Troubleshooting item Vehicle moves when accelerating from standstill on slope
Description
  • Vehicle slips backwards on inclined road surface when accelerating after i-stop operates.
Possible cause
NOTE:
  • MTX vehicles do not have the Hill Launch Assist function from i-stop because the driver controls the brake pressure.
  • i-stop (engine-stop control) continues operating when shifting the selector lever from D position to N or P position while i-stop (engine-stop control) is operating, however, if the slope of the road surface is within ±4%, the Hill Launch Assist (HLA) function is canceled.
Hill launch assist function system (DSC) malfunction 
  • False detection of inclination angle (cannot calculate correct road slope)
    • Low-G sensor (built-into SAS control module) malfunction
    • Low-G sensor (built-into SAS control module) initialization malfunction
  • False detection of brake fluid pressure
    • Brake fluid pressure sensor (built-into DSC HU/Control Module) malfunction (without Mazda M Hybrid)
    • Brake fluid pressure sensor (built-into electronically controlled brake unit) malfunction (with Mazda M Hybrid)
  • Cannot maintain brake fluid pressure
    • DSC HU/Control Module malfunction (without Mazda M Hybrid)
    • Electronically controlled brake unit malfunction (with Mazda M Hybrid)
  • DC-DC converter system error (exceeds capacity of DC-DC converter output due to open or short circuit in wiring harness and after-market electrical part)
ATX system malfunction 
  • Electric AT oil pump malfunction (operation malfunction, insufficient pressure)
  • ATX malfunction
