DTC P16C6: Engine Mount Actuator High Voltage During Function Test (Engine Type: J35Z1)




General Description
The engine mount control system controls the engine mount electronically. The system consists of the active control engine mount (ACM) actuators, the engine mount control unit, and the powertrain control module (PCM). The engine mount control unit uses the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor outputs (received from the PCM) to estimate engine vibration. The engine mount control unit then sends signals to the ACM actuators to command the engine mounts to push and pull on the engine to counteract the engine vibration.

The PCM monitors the ACM actuators, and when an abnormal condition continues for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the indicator
When a malfunction is detected, the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
