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.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND/OR DTC
•  Switch the ignition off, then ON (engine off).
•  Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure and DTC Reading Procedure.
•  Is the PENDING CODE/DTC P1260:00 also present?
Yes
Go to the applicable PENDING CODE or DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT FOR A MALFUNCTION RELATED INABILITY TO START ENGINE
•  Start the engine.
•  Does the engine start normally?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Perform the symptom troubleshooting “NO.9 WILL NOT CRANK” or “NO.10 HARD TO START/LONG CRANK/ERRATIC START/ERRATIC CRANK”.
5
INSPECT COMMON RAIL SYSTEM OPERATION
•  Inspect the common rail operation.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 13.
No
Go to the next step.
6
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY ROUGH IDLING OR A PISTON-STOP POSITION CONTROL MALFUNCTION
•  Start the engine and warm it up completely.
•  Is the idle speed stabilized?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
7
INSPECT CKP SENSOR SIGNAL
•  Verify the PCM terminal 1E signal using the oscilloscope.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Visually inspect the CKP sensor pulse wheel.
•  If there is any malfunction:
―  Replace the CKP sensor pulse wheel, then go to Step 13.
•  If there is no malfunction:
―  Replace the CKP sensor, then go to Step 13.
No
Go to Step 13.
8
INSPECT VACUUM HOSE CONNECTION
•  Inspect the vacuum hose routine.
•  Are vacuum hoses routines properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Reconnect the vacuum hose, then go to Step 13.
9
INSPECT INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM FOR AIR SUCTION
•  Inspect the following parts of the intake air system for looseness, damage, and loss.
―  Between air cleaner and intake manifold
•  Is there any leakage?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 13.
No
Go to the next step.
10
INSPECT HP-EGR CONTROL VALVE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION

•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 13.
No
Go to the next step.
12
INSPECT TIMING CHAIN INSTALLATION CONDITION
•  Verify the condition of the timing chain assembly (valve timing, looseness, jumping).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
Assemble the timing chain using the correct timing, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
13
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED

•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Start the engine and warm it up completely.
Caution
•  While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
•  When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later.
•  Drive the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data condition.
•  Perform the DTC Reading Procedure.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM.
Go to the next step.
No
