DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.INSPECTION START

Is it necessary to erase permanent DTC? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> GO TO 2.

2.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

Perform component function check. Refer to EC-193, "Component Function Check".

NOTE:

Use the component function check to check the overall function of the IAT sensor circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> Proceed to EC-193, "Diagnosis Procedure".

3.PRECONDITIONING

If DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

TESTING CONDITION:

Before performing the following procedure, do not add fuel.
Before performing the following procedure, check that fuel level is between 1/4 and 4/4.
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle.

>> GO TO 4.

4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

Move the vehicle to a cool place.

NOTE:

Cool the vehicle in an environment of ambient air temperature between −10В°C (14В°F) and 35В°C (95В°F).

Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle for 12 hours.

CAUTION:

Never turn ignition switch ON during this procedure.

NOTE:

The vehicle must be cooled with the food open.

Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes or more.

CAUTION:

Never turn ignition switch OFF during idling.

Check 1st trip DTC.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-193, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

Component Function Check

1.CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector and reconnect it again.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Select вЂњDATA MONITORвЂќ mode with CONSULT
Check that вЂњINT/A TEMP SENвЂќ indicates as per following condition.

Is the inspection result normal?

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> Proceed to EC-193, "Diagnosis Procedure".

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR

Check intake air temperature sensor. Refer toEC-193, "Component Inspection".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> Replace mass air flow sensor (with intake air temperature sensor). Refer to EM-25, "Exploded View".

Component Inspection

1.CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector and reconnect it again.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Select вЂњDATA MONITORвЂќ mode with CONSULT.
Check that the indicated value of вЂњINT/A TEMP SENвЂќ is almost the same as intake air temperature.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> Replace mass air flow sensor (with intake air temperature sensor). Refer to EM-25, "Exploded View".

Rapid air pressure loss
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air pressure loss can also be caused by driving on under-inflated tires. Rapid air pressure loss can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle, especially ...
