Inspection steps
- DTC P1603 is different from existing diagnosis for parts, circuits, or system failure. When customer complains about situations such as "engine stalls" and "engine does not start", trouble phenomenon and freeze frame data will be evaluated to identify possible failure parts. DTCs may be output and detected due to operation done by the user. Therefore, unless there are customer complaints, do not perform diagnosis work but clear the codes and return the vehicle to the customer even if DTCs are present.
- If any other DTCs are present, troubleshoot the appropriate DTCs first.
- If the result of interview shows conditions at the time the trouble occurs (how engine stopped or restarted), refer to them.
| Symptoms | Possible faulty parts |
|---|---|
| Engine vibrates and stops | Abnormal air/fuel ratio |
| Engine does not vibrate when stops | Trouble in ignition system, stopped injection, external overload |
| Rough idling after startup | Abnormal air/fuel ratio |
- Read the freeze frame data using the SSM3. A part of the engine running conditions under which the engine trouble occurred is recorded in the freeze frame data, which is useful for troubleshooting.
- To check time-line freeze frame data, check 5 data. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DTC )
- If there are more than one items that are applicable to cause of trouble when time-line freeze frame data is checked, perform diagnosis procedure for all the applicable items.
- Drive and stop the vehicle to reproduce the conditions that are closest to those occurred at the time the trouble took place, as recorded in the freeze frame data. Then, check the data and the one obtained during idling (after warm-up, no-load condition with gear in D and N positions), and compare them with the freeze frame data.
- Focus on looking over sign and conditions at the time the trouble took place because the conditions may not recur.
- Wiggle the appropriate wiring harness and connectors to identify trouble that may not occur constantly for a more accurate check.
Workflow: First check the conditions when trouble occurred (shown in freeze frame data) and narrow down the check positions.

Result
Trouble phenomenon Time-line freeze frame data item Possible cause Go to [Idle Switch] [Engine Speed] Sum of [Short term fuel trim B1] and [Long term fuel trim B1] Engine speed slowly decreases and then engine stalls during idling or deceleration All cases are ON Slowly decreases ((1)) All cases are +15 % or more ((2)) - Air induction
- Sensor failure (misjudged as lean side)
- Fuel supply failure
A At least one case is -15 % or less ((3)) - Sensor failure (misjudged as rich side)
B All cases are from -15 % to +15 % - Insufficient air induction
- Ignition timing out of range
C Engine speed abruptly decreases and then engine stalls during idling or deceleration Abruptly decreases ((1)) - - Injection stop, ignition stop
- External load
D Engine stall during startup, acceleration, cruising At least one case is OFF - - - Sensor failure
- Injection/ignition stop
- Fuel supply failure
E NOTE:(1) Power supply system failure in common wiring harness to the all cylinders or multiple cylinders, increase in external load, injector driver failure (immediately after the injection method has changed from port injection to direct injection) etc. may be the possible causes of the abrupt drop in engine speed. When one of the followings is applicable, engine speed has abruptly dropped.
In other cases, an engine speed drop is slow.- In the freeze frame data, the amount of engine speed drop between #3 and #5 is 400 r/min or more.
- In the freeze frame data, the engine speed is 520 r/min or less at #3 and 120 r/min or less at #5.
- Perform AT check when the vehicle speed is 30km/h {19 MPH} or less and the difference between the engine speed and turbine speed is 100 r/min or less. (When lock-up release is delayed, both an abrupt drop and a slow drop of the engine speed may be considered depending on the deceleration rate.)
