P050B
2ZR-FXE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P050B: Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance
P050B - Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). The DTC is stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).
The DTC is designed to monitor the ignition timing at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of less than 50°C (122°F), the ECM checks the ignition timing during engine idling. If the ignition timing advances beyond the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).
NOTICE:
When the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal is disconnected during inspection or repairs, the idle speed control learned values are cleared. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored. To perform idle speed control learning, the engine must be warmed up by allowing it to idle for 5 minutes. For idle speed control learning to be successful, when the engine is started to warm it up, there must be at least 10 seconds of idling with the coolant temperature below 50°C (122°F) before allowing it to continue running for the 5 minute learning period.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
HINT
- DTC P050B may be output when the engine shows the symptom as listed below. If necessary, check the trouble area as listed below.
- 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.
