Poor Engine Power

When all of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic):

  • Engine speed is 650 rpm or more (varies depending on the engine coolant temperature).
  • Engine torque requested by the hybrid vehicle control ECU exceeds a certain level.
  • The hybrid vehicle control ECU judges that the engine has started.
  • The fuel tank is not empty.
  • Communication between the hybrid vehicle control ECU and ECM is normal.
  • "The actual engine torque is less than 20% of the requested engine torque" for 6 seconds, or until the crankshaft turns 100 times (whichever takes longer, differs depending on the engine coolant temperature).

Engine does not Start

When all of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic):

  • Engine speed is 650 rpm or more (varies depending on the engine coolant temperature).
  • The fuel tank is not empty.
  • Communication between the hybrid vehicle control ECU and ECM is normal.
  • After the hybrid vehicle control ECU sends the engine start request signal, it does not detect engine start (generation of engine torque) for 6 seconds, or until the crankshaft turns 100 times (whichever takes longer, differs depending on the engine coolant temperature).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

  1. The ECM receives signals such as requested engine torque, target engine speed and engine cranking status from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
  2. The ECM controls engine start and stop and throttle valve angle based on the signals received from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
  3. The ECM receives the actual engine torque calculated by the hybrid vehicle control ECU based on the generator torque.
  4. When the actual engine torque is less than 20% of the requested engine torque*, the ECM judges that the engine output is abnormal and stores DTC P3190.

    (The engine may not have started in the above situation.)

    • *: Requested torque = Requested Engine Torque (kW) / HV Target Engine Speed (rpm) x 9549
  5. If the ECM does not detect engine start torque (actual engine torque) even though it has received an engine start request and started the engine, it stores DTC P3191.

    HINT:

    • When DTCs P3190, P3191 and P3193 are output, the engine may be stopped due to the engine condition.

      At this time, after adding fuel or performing repairs, clear the DTCs. Then turn the power switch off to return to the normal condition.

    • When this DTC is output and the engine is stopped, the HV battery cannot be charged since the vehicle is driven with the motor only. If the vehicle continues to be driven under this condition, the HV battery becomes depleted ultimately and the power switch cannot be turned on (READY).
    • When DTC P3190 or P3191 is stored, the engine torque has dropped by 80% or the engine cannot be started. If any DTCs that indicate malfunctioning of engine related parts are stored at the same time, repair the malfunctioning parts first.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

NOTICE:

If the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) or warning light illuminates, immediately end the confirmation driving pattern. If DTCs P3190, P3191 and P3193 are output and the engine is stopped, the HV battery will no longer be chargeable and the distance that the vehicle can be driven will be limited.

  1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
  2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  3. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the power switch on (READY) and turn the Techstream on.
  7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds with the vehicle stopped, park (P) selected and the brake pedal depressed [A].

    NOTICE:

    As soon as the engine starts, release the accelerator pedal.

  8. Release the parking brake.
  9. Drive the vehicle at an average of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more until the total engine operation time is 10 minutes or more [B].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    HINT:

    • It is not necessary to maintain the vehicle speed at 40 km/h (25 mph) throughout the road test.
    • If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [C].
  11. Read the DTCs (including pending DTCs).

    HINT:

    • If a DTC (include pending DTC) is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a DTC (include pending DTC) is not output, perform the following procedure.
  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
  13. Input the DTC: P3190 or P3191.
  14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Description

    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment
    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.
  15. If no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

  • Repeating this inspection for symptom confirmation may cause the SOC to drop, preventing the system from entering the READY-on state. In this case, use the THS charger to charge the HV battery.
  • Cranking the engine once causes the SOC to drop approximately 1%.
  • Charging the HV battery once (10 minutes) using the THS charger restores the SOC approximately 2%.
  • Charging the HV battery using the THS charger takes approximately 10 minutes when the HV battery temperature is 25°C (77°F) or approximately 30 minutes when the HV battery temperature is 0°C (32°F).
  • The THS charger is a supplemental charging device that charges the HV battery enough to enable the engine to start (the vehicle can enter the READY-on state).
  • Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

 Fuel Run Out (P3193)

DESCRIPTION The ECM receives the fuel empty low level (below approximately 8.4 L) signal from the combination meter assembly (meter ECU) to detect if the vehicle is running out of fuel. DTC No. D

 Lost Communication with Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module (Combination Meter) (U0155)

DESCRIPTION The ECM and combination meter assembly send and receiver signals via CAN communication. If a communication error occurs between the ECM and combination meter assembly, the ECM illuminates

 Lost Communication with Hybrid Vehicle Control System (U0293)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION The ECM communicates with the hybrid vehicle control ECU. When the ECM does not receive data from the hybrid vehicle control ECU, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC. D
