Diagnostic Procedure

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 VERIFY IF THERE IS POOR DRIVEABILITY OR EXHAUST GAS RELATED MALFUNCTION
  • Are any driveability or exhaust smoke concerns present?
Yes Go to the applicable symptom troubleshooting.
(See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX .)
No Go to the next step.
2 INSPECT RELATED PART CONDITION
  • Inspect the following:
    • Electrical connections
    • Vacuum lines
      • Fuel quality
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Service if necessary.
  • Repeat this step.
No Go to the next step.
3 VERIFY PCM DTC Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)] .)
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT FUEL PRESSURE (HIGH-SIDE)
  • Start the engine and warm it up completely.
  • Access the FUEL_PRES PID using the M-MDS at idle. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
  • Is the FUEL_PRES PID value approx. 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm2 , 435 psi}?
Yes Go to Step 8.
No Lower than 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm2 , 435 psi}:
  • Inspect the following:
  • If there is any malfunction:
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
  • If there is no malfunction:
    • Go to Step 7.

      Higher than 3 MPa {31 kgf/cm2 , 435 psi}:

  • Go to the next step.
5 DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR OR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP
  • Is the vehicle acceleration performance normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 7.
6 INSPECT FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR Yes Replace the fuel distributor.
(See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to Step 8.
7 INSPECT SPILL VALVE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the high pressure fuel pump and PCM connectors.
  • Inspect for continuity between high pressure fuel pump terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between high pressure fuel pump terminal A and PCM terminal 1EE.
If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

If the malfunction remains:
No Replace the high pressure fuel pump.
(See HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
8 INSPECT FUEL PRESSURE (LOW-SIDE)
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge between fuel pump and high pressure fuel pump.
  • Measure the low side fuel pressure. (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION .)
  • Is the low side fuel pressure within specification?

    Specification:

  • 405-485 kPa {4.13-4.94 kgf/cm2 , 58.8-70.3 psi}
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the following:
  • Fuel line restriction
  • Fuel filter clogged
    • If there is any malfunction:
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
    • If there is no malfunction:
9 DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CHARCOAL CANISTER OR FUEL TANK VENT SYSTEM
  • Inspect the charcoal canister for fuel saturation. (See CHARCOAL CANISTER INSPECTION .)
  • Is there excess amount of liquid fuel present in canister?
Yes Replace the charcoal canister.
(See CHARCOAL CANISTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Inspect the fuel tank vent system.
  • If the fuel tank vent system is normal:
    • Suggest trying a different brand since sulfur content can vary in different fuels.
  • If fuel tank vent system is not normal:
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
10 Verify the test results.
  • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX .)
  • If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Bulletins and/or On-line Repair Information and perform repair or diagnosis.
    • If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
      • If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if a later calibration is available. Retest.
