2GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P050B: Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance

DTC P050B - Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance

DESCRIPTION

This monitor will run when the engine is started at -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) of the engine coolant temperature. The DTC will be set after the engine has been idling for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).
The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at a temperature lower than 50°C (122°F) of the engine coolant temperature, the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow when the engine is idling. If it does not reach the criteria within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).
The ETCS (Electrical Throttle Control System) controls the idle speed. The ETCS operates the throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle speed.
NOTE:
When the negative battery terminal is disconnected during inspection or repairs, the ISC (Idle Speed Control) learned values are cleared. ISC learning is performed when the engine has been warmed up and idled for 5 minutes because this DTC cannot be set after the ISC learned values are cleared.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- DTC P050B may be set 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 be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P050B)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Select the following the menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result:





HINT: If any DTCs other than P050B are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART
A -- Continue to next step.

2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL TRIM)
HINT: Calculate the total fuel trim values to check the characteristic deviation of the mass air flow meter.
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Short FT #1 and Long FT #1, or Short FT #2 and Long FT #2.
(e) Read the values displayed on the Techstream while the engine is idling.
(f) Add together the Short FT #1 and Long FT #1, or Short FT #2 and Long FT #2 values to obtain the total Fuel Trim.
OK:
Total of Short FT #1 and Long FT #1, or Short FT #2 and Long FT #2 values is between -20% and 20%.
Result:






B -- CHECK THROTTLE VALVE
A -- Continue to next step.

3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).
(e) Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the Techstream.
OK:






NG -- CHECK AND REPAIR VVT SENSOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK PCV HOSE CONNECTIONS
OK:
PCV hose is connected correctly and is not damaged.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM
(a) Check the intake system for vacuum leakage.
OK:
No leakage from intake system.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE INTAKE SYSTEM
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Visually check that the air cleaner filter element is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
OK:
Air cleaner filter element is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
NG -- REPLACE AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER
(a) Replace the mass air flow meter Removal.
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
8. CHECK AND REPAIR VVT SENSOR
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
9. REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
10. REPAIR OR REPLACE INTAKE SYSTEM
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
11. REPLACE AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
12. CHECK THROTTLE VALVE
(a) Check for deposits around the throttle valve and throttle valve condition.
OK:
No deposits around throttle valve and throttle valve moves smoothly.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE THROTTLE W/MOTOR BODY ASSY
OK -- Continue to next step.

13. REPLACE ECM
(a) Replace the ECM Removal.
NEXT -- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
14. REPAIR OR REPLACE THROTTLE W/MOTOR BODY ASSY
NEXT -- Continue to next step.

15. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P050B)
NOTE:
In this operation, the engine must be cold (the same level as the engine coolant temperature recorded in the freeze frame data).
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(e) Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream Check Mode Procedure.
(f) Start the engine to idle for a minute.
OK:
Stable fast idling.
(g) Read the DTCs.
OK:
No DTC outputs.
