SFI SYSTEM FAIL-SAFE CHART

If any of the following DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily or stops fuel injection.

DTC Code	Component	Fail-Safe Operation	Fail-Safe Deactivation Condition
P0011 P0015	VVT system	Idle up (control of combustion worsening). Stopping fuel-cut control.	Pass condition detected
P0131 P0132 P0133 P0134 P0135	Heated oxygen sensor (sensor 1)	The ECM turns off the heated oxygen sensor (sensor 1) heater.	Engine switch off
P0137 P0138 P0139 P0140 P0141	Heated oxygen sensor (sensor 2)	The ECM turns off the heated oxygen sensor (sensor 2) heater.	Engine switch off
P0101 P0102 P0103	Mass air flow meter	The ECM calculates ignition timing according to the engine speed and throttle valve position.	Pass condition detected
P0112 P0113	Intake air temperature sensor	The ECM estimates the intake air temperature to be 20°C (68°F).	Pass condition detected
P0116 P0117 P0118	Engine coolant temperature sensor	The ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature to be 80°C (176°F).	Pass condition detected
P0122 P0123 P0222 P0223 P0601 P0604 P0605 P0606 P060C P0638 P1104 P1106 P2102 P2103 P2104 P2105 P2106 P2106 P2107 P2108 P2119 P2135 P2173	Electronic throttle control system	The ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and the throttle valve is returned to a 5.5° throttle position by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal angle to allow the vehicle to continue at minimal speed*1.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0300 P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304 P1301 P1302 *2	Fuel injector assembly Electronic throttle control system	When a catalyst-damaging misfire occurs (MIL blinking), the following fail-safe operation is performed for catalyst overheat malfunction prevention. Under a low load and at a low engine speed: - Fuel cut is performed on the malfunctioning cylinder. Under a high load and at a high engine speed: - Throttle valve opening angle control is performed. - Fuel cut is performed on all cylinders or the malfunctioning cylinder.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0327 P0328	Knock control sensor	The ECM sets the ignition timing to maximum retard.	Engine switch off
P0335	Crankshaft Position Sensor	The ECM limits the engine speed. The ECM sets ignition timing to maximum retard.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354	Ignition coil assembly	The ECM cuts the fuel injection.	Pass condition detected
P0561 P0562	System Voltage	The alternator command is fixed.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0571 P0703	Stop light switch assembly	The accelerator pedal opening angle is fixed when there is an accelerato rpedal malfunction or history of a malfunction.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P1107 P1108 P1109	Vacuum sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor)	The ECM calculates the manifold absolute pressure based on the engine speed and throttle valve position.	Pass condition detected
P2122 P2123 P2127 P2128 P2138	Accelerator pedal position sensor	The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor circuits: Main and Sub. If either circuit malfunctions, the ECM limits the engine output. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off

Tip:

*1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.
*2: Misfire-related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
