ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION [LF, L5]

id010397803700

Input Signal System Inspection Procedure

1. Find an irregular signal. (See Finding irregular signals.)

2. Locate source. (See Locating the source of unusual signals.)

3. Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

4. Confirm that the irregular signal is no longer detected.

Finding irregular signals

While referring to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [LF, L5], use the PID/DATA monitor and record function to inspect the input signal system relating to the problem.

1. Start the engine and idle the vehicle. You can assume that any signals that are out of specification by a wide margin are irregular.

2. When recreating the problem, any sudden change in monitor input signals that is not intentionally created by the driver can be determined as irregular.

Locating the source of unusual signals

Caution

• Compare the M-MDS monitor voltage with the measurement voltage using the digital measurement system function. If you use another tester, misreading may occur.

• When measuring voltage, attach the tester ground to the ground of the PCM that is being tested, or to the engine itself. If this is not performed, the measured voltage and actual voltage may differ.

• After connecting the pin to a waterproof coupler, confirming continuity and measuring the voltage, inspect the waterproof connector for cracks. If there are any, use sealant to fix them. Failure to do this may result in deterioration of the wiring harness or terminal from water damage, leading to problems with the vehicle.

4. Turn the A/C switch to off.

5. Verify that the ECT PID is below 98 °C {209 °F} and the AC_REQ is off.

• If the ECT PID is below 98 °C {209 °F}, inspect the ECT sensor. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR INSPECTION [LF, L5].)

• If the AC_REQ PID is on, perform the A/C symptom troubleshooting “NO.24 A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY“. (See NO.24 A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY [LF, L5].)

6. Switch the ignition to ON while the temperature is below 98 °C {209 °F} with the ignition is ON.

7. Verify that the cooling fan is not operating.

• If the cooling fan is operating inspect the following:

(1) Verify that the FAN DUTY PID is 0%. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [LF, L5].)

• If the FAN DUTY PID is not 0%, inspect the following PID and related parts.

― ECT (ECT sensor)

― AC_REQ (Climate control unit, refrigerant pressure sensor, evaporator temperature sensor and instrument cluster)

― VSS (Vehicle speed sensor)

― ACCS (A/C magnetic clutch)

• If the FAN DUTY PID is 0%, replace cooling fan component.

8. Turn the A/C switch to on.

9. Verify that the cooling fan is operating while the ECT PID is below 98 °C {209 °F}.

• If the cooling fan does not operate, inspect for the following:

― Climate control unit (A/C switch and fan switch)

― A/C refrigerant pressure sensor

― Communication error between instrument cluster and PCM

― Communication error between climate control unit and instrument cluster

― Fan control module power supply circuit (open or short circuit)

― Fan control module GND circuit (open or short circuit)

― Fan control module control signal circuit (open or short circuit between fan control module terminal 1C and PCM terminal 1R)

― Fan control module (See COOLING FAN COMPONENT INSPECTION [LF, L5].)

10. Turn the A/C switch to the off position.

11. Start the engine and idle it.

12. Verify that the cooling fan operating speed increases relative to the ECT PID increase.

• If the cooling fan speed does not increase inspect the following:

― ECT sensor (characteristic) (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR INSPECTION [LF, L5].)

― Fan control signal circuit (between fan control module terminal 1C and PCM terminal 1R)

• If the all items are normal, replace the cooling fan component.

Variable Valve Timing Control System Operation Inspection

When idling cannot be continued

1. Remove the OCV and verify that the spool valve is at maximum retard position.

2. Connect the OCV.

3. Switch the ignition to ON.

4. Verify that the spool valve is at maximum retard position.

• If the spool valve is stuck in the advance direction, inspect for the following:

― Short circuit in wiring harnesses or connectors between the OCV and the PCM.

5. Inspect the variable valve timing actuator. (See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR INSPECTION [LF, L5].)

When idling can be continued

1. Disconnect OCV connector.

2. Warm up the engine and idle it.

3. Apply battery voltage to the OCV and verify that the engine idles roughly or stalls.

• If the engine idles roughly or stalls, inspect the timing chain component (valve timing deviation).

• If the engine does not idle roughly or stalls, go to the next step.

4. Remove the OCV and perform spool valve operation inspection. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)

• If not as specified, inspect the following:

― OCV (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) INSPECTION [LF, L5].)

― Harnesses and connectors between OCV and PCM open or short.

• If as specified, inspect the following hydraulic passages for clogging or leakage or both:

― Oil pressure switch—OCV

― OCV—Camshaft

― Camshaft internal passage

5. If they are normal, replace the camshaft pulley (with built-in variable valve timing actuator).
