24. CHECK FUEL SYSTEM

(a) Check for foreign matter such as iron particles around the fuel pump (fuel pump, fuel pump filter and inside the fuel tank), and for signs that the fuel pump was stuck.

Result:





HINT
If there is foreign matter such as iron particles on the fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel tank, remove the foreign matter.

B -- REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS

A -- REPAIR OR REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM

25. READ FREEZE FRAME DATA

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Using the Techstream, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored Freeze Frame Data.

Result:





HINT
- Try to operate the vehicle under the conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the malfunction occurred. Confirm the data at this time and the data when the engine is idling (engine warmed up, no load, and shift lever in P or N) and compare these data with the freeze frame data.
- *1: If the mass air flow meter is malfunctioning and incorrectly measures the intake air volume to be higher than the actual volume of air flowing through the intake manifold, the freeze frame data will show a high engine load value.
- *2: As the air fuel ratio sensor output is low before the sensor warms up, the value at that time cannot be used for diagnosis. If the air fuel ratio sensor is malfunctioning and constantly outputs a value indicating the air-fuel ratio is rich, the actual air-fuel ratio will become lean and the engine may stall.

35. READ FREEZE FRAME DATA

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Using the Techstream, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored Freeze Frame Data.

Result:





HINT
- Try to operate the vehicle under the conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the malfunction occurred. Confirm the data at this time and the data when the engine is idling (engine warmed up, no load, and shift lever in P or N) and compare these data with the freeze frame data.
- *1: If the throttle body assembly has a temporary problem in which it cannot fully close, the intake air volume and engine speed increase. As a result, the ISC learning amount becomes less than the standard. At this time, if the throttle body assembly returns to normal and fully closes, the intake air volume will be insufficient and the engine may stall.
- *2: If carbon accumulates on the throttle body assembly and the intake air volume decreases, the ISC learning amount is increased to maintain the idling speed. If this situation continues, the ISC learning amount reaches the upper limit, the idling speed cannot be maintained causing idling to become unstable, and the engine may stall.
