STOP AND START SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P33B3

DTC Code DTC Name
P33B3 External BBC Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the engine is started (high electrical load) from engine stopped by the stop and start control, the eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) supplements battery voltage in order to prevent the function from being disabled due to decrease in power source voltage supplied to the navigation system.

After receiving a request from the engine stop and start ECU, the eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) helps maintain the power source voltage if the battery voltage drops due to the high electrical load when the engine is restarted by stop and start control. The DON2 terminal of the eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) receives power supply voltage supplement requests from the engine stop and start ECU and switches from idle mode to supplement mode.

When the engine is started by the stop and start control, if the eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) does not maintain the specified voltage, an error is sent to the engine stop and start ECU. Then, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P33B3, and the stop and start cancel indicator blinks.

  1. CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING

    Tech Tips


    • If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.

    • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Clear the DTCs.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    6. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

    7. Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control for 1 second or more. (Keep the shift lever in D.)

    8. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.

      Tech Tips

      If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that the battery voltage is low.

    9. Check that DTCs are not output.

  2. STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

    Tech Tips

    If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.


    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

    3. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    4. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

    5. Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (Keep the shift lever in D.)

    6. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CONFIRM FREEZE FRAME DATA (STATE OF EXTERNAL BBC)

    Note

    Clearing the DTC will also clear the freeze frame data, so before clearing be sure to record the freeze frame data.


    1. Following the display on the GTS, check the freeze frame data and read "State of External BBC" in the freeze frame data when P33B3 was output.

  2. CHECK CONNECTOR (ECO RUN VEHICLE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY (EXTERNAL BACKUP BOOST CONVERTER))


    1. Check if the connector of the eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) is connected securely.

      OK
      The connector is securely connected.

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BBC NO. 3 FUSE - ECO RUN VEHICLE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY (EXTERNAL BACKUP BOOST CONVERTER))


    1. Remove the BBC NO. 3 fuse from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.

    2. Disconnect the A73 eco run vehicle converter assembly (external backup boost converter) connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A73-11(BIN) - BBC NO. 3 fuse terminal 2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A73-11(BIN) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
