DTC P16E2 (16-18 9-Speed A/T)
DTC P16E2 : PGM-FI-ACG LIN Communication Error
NOTE:
- Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .
- Check for a loose terminal on the alternator (+B terminal). If the alternator +B terminal was loose, DTC P16E2 will be stored.

| P16E2 PGM-FI-ACG LIN Communication Error |
DTC (PGM-FI)
- Problem verification
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS, and wait 10 seconds.
- 3. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame P16E2 PGM-FI-ACG LIN Communication Error Is DTC P16E2 indicated?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the alternator and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .
- DTC check
- 1. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame P16E5 PGM-FI-DC-DC Converter LIN Communication Error Is DTC P16E5 indicated?
YES
Go to step 3.
NO
Go to step 7.
- Determine possible failure area (LIN/LIN (ACG) line shorted, others)
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Disconnect the following connector.
Alternator 1P connector - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Alternator 1P connector: disconnected Test point 1 Alternator 1P connector No. 1 Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
YES
Go to step 4.
NO
Go to step 5.
- Shorted wire check (LIN/LIN (ACG) line)
- 1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
- 2. Continue to check for continuity between the alternator 1P connector terminal and body ground, while disconnecting these connectors, one at a time:
- PCM connector B (51P)
- Battery fan motor connector (3P)
- DC-DC converter connector A (3P)
Does continuity go away when one of the above connectors is disconnected?
YES
The LIN/LIN (ACG) wire is OK. Replace the part that caused an open when it was disconnected.
NO
Repair a short in the LIN/LIN (ACG) wire between the PCM (B50), the alternator, the battery fan motor, and the DC-DC converter.
- Determine possible failure area (alternator, others)
- 1. Reconnect the alternator 1P connector.
- 2. Disconnect the following connector.
DC-DC converter connector A (3P) - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode DC-DC converter connector A (3P): disconnected Test point 1 DC-DC converter connector A (3P) No. 1 Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
YES
NO
Go to step 6.
- Open wire check (LIN/LIN (ACG) line)
- 1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
- 2. Disconnect the following connectors.
Alternator 1P connector PCM connector B (51P) - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode DC-DC converter connector A (3P): disconnected PCM connector B (51P): disconnected Test point 1 Alternator 1P connector No. 1 Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 50 - Refer to:
PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (16-18 9-Speed A/T)Is there continuity?
YES
The LIN/LIN (ACG) wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (6-Speed A/T, 16-18 9-Speed A/T) .
NO
Repair an open in the LIN/LIN (ACG) wire between the PCM (B50) and the alternator.
- Open wire check (LIN/LIN (ACG) line)
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
- 3. Disconnect the following connectors.
Alternator 1P connector PCM connector B (51P) - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Alternator 1P connector: disconnected PCM connector B (51P): disconnected Test point 1 Alternator 1P connector No. 1 Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 50 - Refer to:
PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (16-18 9-Speed A/T)Is there continuity?
YES
The LIN/LIN (ACG) wire is OK. Replace the alternator .
NO
Repair an open in the LIN/LIN (ACG) wire between the PCM (B50) and the alternator.
