ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0263, P0266, P0269, P0272

DTC Code DTC Name
P0263 Cylinder 1 Contribution / Balance
P0266 Cylinder 2 Contribution / Balance
P0269 Cylinder 3 Contribution / Balance
P0272 Cylinder 4 Contribution / Balance

DESCRIPTION

The ECM controls the fuel injection compensation volume when the engine is idling.

If excessive deposits are present in an injector assembly, it may lower the fuel injection volume, resulting in an engine that stalls or has an unstable idle. Therefore, the ECM increases the fuel injection compensation volume to ensure the fuel injection volume necessary for idling.

The ECM stores this DTC if the fuel injection compensation volume exceeds the specified value.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 AND P272)


    1. Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.

      Note

      Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and turn the tester on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Result Proceed to
      DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 and/or P0272 are output A
      DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 and/or P0272 and any other DTCs are output B

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0263, P0266, P0269 AND P0272)


    1. Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.

      Note

      Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and turn the tester on.

    4. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    5. Warm up the engine.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

    7. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Same DTCs are output (same as DTCs that were cleared) A
      Other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips


      • If a DTC for a different cylinder is stored when the injector assembly has been switched with a known good one from a different cylinder, the injector assembly may be malfunctioning.

      • If no DTC is stored after the injector assembly has been replaced, the injector assembly may be malfunctioning.

      • If the same DTC is stored again even after replacing the injector assembly with a known good injector assembly, the ECM, injector driver assembly, engine or wire harness may be malfunctioning.
