DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • During ECM off (engine off), check that engine off timer is incrementing
  • Faulty ECM
Enable Conditions Case1
  • Warmed up condition met at previous DC
  • ECT at previous DC is greater than 70°C (158°F)
  • IAT deviation is greater than 0°C (32°F) (IAT deviation is difference between IAT at key off previous DC and IAT at key "ON")
  • ECT deviation is greater than 40°C (104°F) (ECT deviation is difference between ECT at key off previous DC and ECT at key "ON")
  • IAT or ECT circuit fault not present
Case2
  • Warmed up condition met at previous DC
  • ECT at previous DC is greater than 70°C (104°F)
  • IAT deviation is less than 40°C (32°F)
  • ECT deviation is less than 20°C (68°F)
  • IAT or ECT circuit fault not present
Threshold Value Case1
  • engine off timer is less than threshold (engine off timer at key "ON" too slow)
Case2
  • Engine off timer is greater than threshold (engine off timer at key "ON" too fast)
Diagnostic Time
  • 10ms (once per driving cycle)
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
