Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION Note • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC. • Record the snapshot data on the repair order.	—	Go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT BLOW-BY HEATER RELAY • Switch the ignition off. • Remove the blow-by heater relay. (See RELAY LOCATION.) • Inspect the blow-by heater relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the blow-by heater relay, then go to Step 9.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT BLOW-BY HEATER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Blow-by heater relay is removed. • Inspect for continuity between blow-by heater relay terminal E (wiring harness-side) and body ground. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Disconnect the PCM connector and inspect the wiring harness for short to ground. • If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness: ― Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between blow-by heater relay terminal E and PCM terminal 2W. If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. • If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness: ― Replace the PCM (short to ground in the PCM internal circuit). (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) Go to Step 9.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT BLOW-BY HEATER CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the blow-by heater connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT BLOW-BY HEATER MONITOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Blow-by heater relay is removed. • Verify that the blow-by heater and PCM connectors are disconnected. • Switch the ignition ON (engine off). Note • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit. • Measure the voltage at the blow-by heater relay terminal D (wiring harness-side). • Is the voltage 0 V?	Yes	Go to the next step.
7		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: • Blow-by heater relay terminal D—Blow-by heater terminal A • Blow-by heater relay terminal D—PCM terminal 1P If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply. Go to the next step.
8	INSPECT BLOW-BY HEATER • Inspect the blow-by heater. (See BLOW-BY HEATER INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the blow-by heater, then go to the next step. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
8		No	Go to the next step.
9	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Perform the KOEO or KOER self test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) Go to the next step.
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
10		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
