Cranks Normally But Will Not Start [SKYACTIV-G]: Notes

CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START [SKYACTIV-G] DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Troubleshooting item Cranks normally but will not start
Description
  • Cranking occurs but no ignition.
Possible cause
  • Because engine is started with accelerator pedal fully depressed, it goes into dechoke mode and fuel is not injected
  • Engine overheating
  • PCM DTC is stored
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • APP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • ECT sensor No. 1 or related circuit malfunction
    • ECT sensor No. 2 or related circuit malfunction
    • MAF sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • A/F sensor or related circuit malfunction
      • HO2S or related circuit malfunction
  • Power is not supplied from main relay
  • Power is not supplied from sub relay and/or fuel pump relay
  • Improper operation of drive-by-wire control system
  • Purge solenoid valve malfunction
  • No signal from MAF sensor
  • Poor fuel quality
  • Air leakage from intake-air system
  • Intake-air system restriction
  • Electrical connector disconnected
  • No battery power supply to PCM or poor ground
  • Fuse malfunction
  • Fuel leakage
  • Vacuum leakage
  • No signal from CKP sensor
    • Loose installation
    • Damaged trigger wheel (crankshaft pulley)
      • Open or short circuit in related wiring harness
  • No signal from CMP sensor
    • Loose installation
    • Damaged trigger wheel (exhaust camshaft)
      • Open or short circuit in related wiring harness
  • Inadequate fuel pressure (high or low pressure side)
    • Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • High pressure fuel pump malfunction
    • Relief valve (built-into high pressure fuel pump) malfunction
    • Spill valve control solenoid valve control circuit malfunction (damage to driver in PCM caused by short circuit to ground system)
    • Spill valve control solenoid valve malfunction (built-into high pressure fuel pump)
    • Fuel line restriction
    • Fuel filter clogged
      • Fuel pump unit malfunction
  • Incorrect fuel injection timing
  • Fuel injector malfunction
  • Improper operation of electric variable valve timing control system (PCM DTC is stored.)
  • Improper operation of hydraulic variable valve timing control system
  • Low engine compression
  • Improper intake valve timing
  • Improper exhaust valve timing
  • Ignition system malfunction
  • Ignition coil malfunction
  • Vapor occurs around fuel pump (fuel problem)
  • Because vapor occurs in high pressure fuel pump, fuel injector cannot adjust fuel injection to correct amount
  • Exhaust system and/or TWC restricted
  • PCV valve malfunction
  • Injector driver (built-into PCM) malfunction
Possible cause  
WARNING:
  • The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
  • Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.
CAUTION:
  • Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
