•  Are there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).
•  Inspect the voltage between the following circuit:
―  PCV valve heater control terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground
―  PCV valve heater fitting terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground
•  Are there voltage B+?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
5
INSPECT PCV VALVE HEATER CONTROL AND PCV VALVE HEATER FITTING CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).
•  Inspect for continuity between the following circuit:
―  PCV valve heater control terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground
―  PCV valve heater fitting terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground
•  Are there voltage B+?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT PCV VALVE HEATER CONTROL AND PCV VALVE HEATER FITTING CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Inspect for continuity between the following circuit:
―  PCV valve heater control terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground
―  PCV valve heater fitting terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground
•  Are there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/ pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Are there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT PCV VALVE HEATER CONTROL AND PCV VALVE HEATER FITTING FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Inspect for continuity between the following circuit:
―  PCV valve heater control terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2BL (wiring harness-side)
―  PCV valve heater fitting B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2AU (wiring harness-side)
•  Are there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 10.
9
INSPECT PCV VALVE HEATER CONTROL AND PCV VALVE HEATER FITTING
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the malfunctioning part, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
10
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P053A HAS BEEN COMPLETED
•  Verify that all disconnected connectors reconnected.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Perform the “KOEO or KOER self-test” using the M‐MDS.
•  Is the PENDING CODE for the DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
11
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
