Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1

RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION

Note

•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.

•  Record the freeze frame data/snap shot data.

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY OVERHEATING

•  Verify the vehicle engine condition.

•  Is the engine overheating?

Yes

Perform malfunction diagnosis according to [NO.22 COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (OVERHEAT)].

(See NO.22 COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING [SKYACTIV-D 2.2])

No

Go to the next step.

3

INSPECT ECT SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION

•  Switch the ignition OFF.

•  Disconnect the ECT sensor connector.

•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

•  Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.

4

DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY ECT SENSOR MALFUNCTION OR WIRING HARNESS SIDE MALFUNCTION

•  Verify that the ECT sensor connector is disconnected.

•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off).

Note

•  Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.

•  Measure the voltage at ECT sensor terminal A (vehicle wiring harness side).

•  Is the voltage approx. 5 V?

Yes

Replace the ECT sensor, then go to Step 8.

(See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2])

No

Go to the next step.

5

INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION

•  Disconnect the PCM connector.

•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

•  Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.

6

INSPECT ECT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND

•  Verify that the ECT sensor connector and the PCM connector are disconnected.

•  Switch the ignition OFF.

•  Inspect for continuity between ECT sensor terminal A (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground.

•  Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between ECT sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 1DC.

If there is a common connector:

•  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short to ground to determine the malfunctioning location.

•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

If there is no common connector:

•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground.

Go to Step 8.

No

Go to the next step.

7

INSPECT ECT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT CIRCUIT

•  Verify that the ECT sensor connector and the PCM connector are disconnected.

•  Inspect for continuity between ECT sensor terminals A and B (vehicle wiring harness side).

•  Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals.

•  ECT sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 1DC

•  ECT sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 1DD

If there is a common connector:

•  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short circuit to determine the malfunctioning location.

•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

If there is no common connector:

•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning wiring harness.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

8

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

•  Reconnect all the disconnected connectors.

•  Refer to the [MEMORY CLEARING PROCEDURE] and clear the DTC.
(See CLEARING DTC [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)])

•  Perform the KOEO or KOER self-test.
(See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)])

•  Has DTC P0117:00 been recorded?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2])

No

Go to the next step.

9

VERIFY OTHER DTCs

•  Has any other DTC or pending code been stored?

Yes

Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
