SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P261029

DTC Code DTC Name
P261029 ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid

DESCRIPTION

The soak timer operates after the power switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed since the power switch was turned off, the soak timer activates the ECM to perform malfunction checks which can only be performed after the power switch is turned off. The soak timer is built into the ECM.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

While the power switch is off, the ECM monitors the synchronization of the soak timer and the CPU clock. If these two are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  3. Turn the GTS 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 (IG).

  7. Turn the GTS on.

  8. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).

  9. Start the engine and warm it up.

  10. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  11. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  12. Turn the GTS on.

  13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

  14. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  15. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  16. Input the DTC: P261029.

  17. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display 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

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

  • If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

Tech Tips


  • DTC P261029 is stored if an internal ECM problem is detected. In this case, diagnosis is not required. ECM replacement is required.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
