Diagnostic Procedure

CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START (SKYACTIV-G) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Results Action
1 INSPECT VEHICLE CONDITION FOR EFFECT ON MALFUNCTION
  • Verify how the customer drives the vehicle by asking the customer the following:
    • Because engine is started with accelerator pedal fully depressed, it goes into dechoke mode and fuel is not injected
  • Does the engine start with the accelerator pedal fully depressed?
