id0102k1702600

Note
•  To determine the malfunctioning part, proceed with the diagnostics from "Function Inspection Using M-MDS".

Details On DTCs

DESCRIPTION

NOx sensor No.1 (oxygen concentration) circuit high input

DETECTION CONDITION
Determination conditions
•  The oxygen concentration output by NOx sensor No.1 exceeds the specification for a continuous 0.5 s.
Preconditions
•  NOx sensor No.1 is activating
•  Ignition has been switched ON (engine on) for 20 s or more
•  Battery voltage: 10.9—16 V
•  The following DTCs are not detected:
―  NOx sensor No.1: P2200:00, U029D:00
Malfunction determination period
•  0.5 s
Drive cycle
•  1
Self test type
•  CMDTC self test
Sensor used
•  NOx sensor No.1
•  Dosing control unit
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
•  Not applicable
VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTCs ARE OUTPUT
•  DTC P1640:00 is also stored in the PCM.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  NOx sensor No.1 connector or terminals malfunction
•  Dosing control unit connector or terminals malfunction
•  NOx sensor No.1 malfunction
•  Dosing control unit malfunction


System Wiring Diagram

•  Not applicable

Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

•  The dosing control unit receives the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas based on the NOx sensor No.1 signal. The dosing control unit determines a NOx sensor No.1 signal error and stores a DTC based on the condition in which the oxygen concentration detected by NOx sensor No.1 continues to be more than the specification.

Repeatability Verification Procedure

1.  Perform the “COMPULSORY DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION”. (See COMPULSORY DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

2.  Idle the engine for 3 min.

Function Inspection Using M-MDS

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
PURPOSE: RECORD FREEZE FRAME DATA/SNAPSHOT DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
Note
•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
•  Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (NOx sensor No.1) on the repair order.
Go to the next step.
2
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT IS AFFECTED BY OTHER RELATED DTCs OCCURRING
•  Switch the ignition off, then ON (engine off).
•  Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure and DTC Reading Procedure.
•  Is the PENDING CODE/DTC P2200:00 or U029D:00 also present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
Repair or replace the applicable wiring harness or connector parts.
Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 4.
No
Go to the next step.
3
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF THERE IS PID ITEM CAUSING DRASTIC CHANGES OF ACCELERATION FLUCTUATION BY INPUT SIGNAL TO PCM OR DOSING CONTROL UNIT
•  Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
―  NOX_C_B1S1
•  Is there any signal that is far out of specification?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure to perform the procedure from step 1.
4
PURPOSE: VERIFY CONNECTOR CONNECTIONS
•  Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
―  NOX_C_B1S1
•  When the following parts are shaken, does the PID value include a PID item which has changed?
―  NOx sensor No.1
―  Dosing control unit
Yes
Inspect the related wiring harness and connector.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Go to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure to perform the procedure from step 1.


Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure

Intention of troubleshooting procedure
•  Step 1
―  Perform a unit inspection of the NOx sensor No.1.
•  Step 2—3
―  Verify that the primary malfunction is resolved and there are no other malfunctions.

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
PURPOSE: DETERMINE INTEGRITY OF NOx SENSOR No.1
•  Inspect the NOx sensor No.1.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the NOx sensor No.1, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
2
PURPOSE: VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR COMPLETION
•  Clear the DTC from the dosing control unit memory using the M-MDS.
•  Implement the repeatability verification procedure.
•  Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure.
•  Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the dosing control unit.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF THERE IS ANY OTHER MALFUNCTION
•  Is any other DTC or pending code stored?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
