Lack/Loss Of Power-Acceleration/Cruise [SKYACTIV-G (Us)]: Notes

LACK/LOSS OF POWER-ACCELERATION/CRUISE [SKYACTIV-G (US)] DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Troubleshooting item	Lack/Loss of power-acceleration/cruise
Description	Engine speed increase delays when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
Possible cause	Engine overheating Drive-by-wire control system operates with brake override system PCM DTC is stored Erratic signal to PCM APP sensor or related circuit malfunction Clutch stroke sensor or related circuit malfunction (MTX) Communication error between TCM and PCM (ATX) ECT sensor No. 1 or related circuit malfunction ECT sensor No. 2 or related circuit malfunction Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction IAT sensor No. 1 (integrated in MAF sensor/IAT sensor No. 1) or related circuit malfunction MAF sensor or related circuit malfunction MAP sensor or related circuit malfunction A/F sensor or related circuit malfunction HO2S or related circuit malfunction Improper operation of A/C system Improper operation of drive-by-wire control system Throttle body malfunction Incorrect fuel injection timing Fuel injector malfunction Purge solenoid valve malfunction Fuel leakage Poor fuel quality Air leakage or restriction in intake-air system Vacuum leakage Air cleaner restricted or dirty Clutch slippage (MTX) Brake dragging Improper tire air pressure Erratic signal from CKP sensor Loose installation Damaged trigger wheel (crankshaft pulley) Open or short circuit in related wiring harness Erratic or no signal from CMP sensor Loose installation Damaged trigger wheel (intake camshaft) Damaged trigger wheel (exhaust camshaft) Open or short circuit in related wiring harness Inadequate fuel pressure (high or low pressure side) Fuel pressure sensor malfunction 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) Relief valve (built-into high pressure fuel pump) malfunction Fuel line restricted or clogged Fuel filter clogged (built-into fuel pump unit) Fuel pump mechanical malfunction Throttle valve restricted or clogged Low engine compression Improper intake valve timing Improper exhaust valve timing Improper operation of electric variable valve timing control system Electric variable valve timing driver malfunction Electric variable valve timing motor malfunction Electric variable valve timing actuator malfunction Improper operation of hydraulic variable valve timing control system Spark plug malfunction Ignition coil malfunction Exhaust system and/or TWC restriction PCV valve malfunction Injector driver (built-into PCM) malfunction ATX internal malfunction (ATX)
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 vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedure" to prevent the fuel from spraying. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes. If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities. Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Fuel line spills and leakage can cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment. Always refer to the "Quick Release Connector Removal/Installation (fuel system)" before performing the fuel hose installation, and execute the "Fuel Leakage Inspection" after installation. (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))] .) 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.
