Low Idle/Stalls During Deceleration (Us): Notes

LOW IDLE/STALLS DURING DECELERATION (SKYACTIV-G, US) DESCRIPTION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Troubleshooting item Low idle/stalls during deceleration
Description
  • Engine speed decreases when the accelerator pedal is released.
  • Stalls during deceleration with the accelerator pedal fully released.
  • When the accelerator pedal is fully released, vehicle stalls directly after vehicle stops.
Possible cause
  • PCM DTC is stored
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • APP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • Brake switch 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
    • MAF sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • MAP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • A/F sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • HO2S or related circuit malfunction
    • TP sensor or related circuit malfunction
    • Generator malfunction (part, system, control malfunction)
      • Amount of generator voltage is large
      • Improper operation of A/C magnetic clutch
  • Improper operation of drive-by-wire control system
  • Incorrect fuel injection timing
  • Fuel injector malfunction
  • Purge solenoid valve malfunction
  • Poor fuel quality
  • Air leakage from intake-air system
  • Intake-air system restriction
  • Fuel leakage
  • Vacuum leakage
  • Engine mount installation loose
  • Erratic signal from CKP sensor
    • Loose installation
    • Damaged trigger wheel (crankshaft pulley)
      • Open or short circuit in related wiring harness
  • Erratic signal from CMP sensor
    • Loose installation
    • Damaged trigger wheel (intake camshaft and/or 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
    • 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 restriction
    • Fuel filter clogged
      • Fuel pump unit malfunction
  • Low engine compression
  • 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
  • ATX malfunction (ATX)
  • Injector driver (built-into PCM) malfunction
Possible cause
WARNING:
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.
