DESCRIPTION

1
Blown fuses
2
Check engine light illuminates
•  Check engine light illuminates incorrectly.
3
Will not crank
•  Starter does not work.
4
Hard to start/long crank/erratic start/erratic crank
•  Starter cranks engine at normal speed but engine requires excessive cranking time before starting.
•  Battery is operating normally.
5
Engine stalls-after start/at idle
•  Stalling occurs if vehicle is left idling under no load.
•  Stalling occurs when load (electric, A/C) is applied during idling.
•  Stalling occurs if the accelerator pedal is depressed from an idling condition when accelerating from a stop.
6
Cranks normally but will not start
•  Cranking occurs but no ignition.
7
Engine oil warning light illuminated/message related to engine hydraulic pressure malfunction indicated in display
•  Engine oil warning light illuminated.
•  Message related to engine hydraulic pressure indicated in display.
8
Engine runs rough/rolling idle
•  Idle speed lower than the specification.
•  Idling speed unstable, increases/decreases.
9
Fast idle/runs on
•  Engine speed continues at fast idle after warm-up.
•  Engine runs after ignition is switched off.
10
Low idle/stalls during deceleration
•  Engine speed decreases when the accelerator pedal is released.
•  Stalls during deceleration with the accelerator pedal fully released.
•  When the accelerator pedal is fully released, vehicle stalls directly after vehicle stops.
11
Engine stalls/quits, engine runs rough, misses, buck/jerk, hesitation/stumble, surges
•  Stalling occurs while driving with the throttle open.
12
Lack/loss of power-acceleration/cruise
•  Engine speed increase delays when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
13
Knocking/pinging-acceleration/cruise
•  Abnormal combustion occurs under the condition such as the temperature in the combustion chamber is too high resulting in abnormal noise.
•  Knocking sound occurs from the engine compartment during acceleration.
14
