SFI SYSTEM (w/ Secondary Air Injection System), Diagnostic DTC:P1605

DTC Code	DTC Name
P1605	Rough Idling

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored if the engine speed drops below the set speed.

Using the intelligent tester, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

It is necessary to check if the vehicle ran out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when idling is unstable due to running out of fuel.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

In contrast to normal malfunction diagnosis for components, circuits and systems, DTC P1605 is used to determine the malfunctioning area from the problem symptoms and freeze frame data when the user mentions problems such as engine stall.

As these DTCs can be stored as a result of certain user actions, even if these DTCs are output, if the customer makes no mention of problems, clear these DTCs without performing any troubleshooting and return the vehicle to the customer.
If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

Use any information from the customer problem analysis about the condition of the vehicle at the time when the problem occurred (how the engine stopped, conditions when the engine was restarted, etc.) as a reference.

Symptom	Suspected Area
Engine vibration occurs and engine stops	Air-fuel ratio abnormal
Engine stops with no engine vibration	Ignition system, injection stoppage, high load from external parts
Engine can be started with accelerator pedal depressed	Insufficient air volume
Rough idling after engine started	Air-fuel ratio abnormal, abnormal combustion

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
When confirming the freeze frame data, be sure to check all 5 sets of freeze frame data.
When confirming freeze frame data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.
Try to operate the vehicle under the conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the malfunction occurred. Confirm the data at this time and the data when the engine is idling (engine warmed up and no load) and compare these data with the freeze frame data.
Inspections take into account the fact that the malfunction may not have reoccurred and place emphasis on checking the vehicle conditions present at the time when the malfunction occurred.
When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.

Inspection flow
Using freeze frame data, narrow down the parts to be inspected according to the vehicle conditions at the time when the malfunction occurred.

If the engine speed decreased slowly, there may have been a decrease in torque due an air-fuel ratio that was incorrect (by approximately 20 to 30%), etc.
If the engine speed decreased rapidly, there may have been a malfunction such as when the engine misfires almost continuously due to ignition stoppage, fuel injection stoppage, etc., or when the external load increases due to an external part malfunctioning.

If the air-fuel ratio is abnormal, there may have been an intake air leak, sensor malfunction, or fuel supply problem.
If the vehicle was normal, the air volume may have been insufficient or the ignition timing may have been incorrect.

P1605 inspection flow: Narrow down the parts to be inspected according to the vehicle conditions at the time when the malfunction occurred (freeze frame data).

When idling or decelerating, engine speed rapidly decreases and engine stalls		Decreases rapidly*1	-	Injection stoppage, ignition stoppage Load from external parts	D

Tech Tips

*1: A rapid decrease in engine speed may be caused by an electrical fault in the shared wiring of all or a number of cylinders, an increase in load from external parts, etc. The engine speed is considered to have decreased rapidly if either of the following conditions applies.

Otherwise, the engine speed is considered to have decreased slowly.

In the freeze frame data, the decrease in engine speed from #3 to #5 is 400 rpm or more.
In the freeze frame data, the engine speed at #5 is 120 rpm or less.

*2: When a DTC is stored, feedback compensation increases because the air-fuel ratio is determined to be lean.
*3: When a DTC is stored, feedback compensation decreases because the air-fuel ratio is determined to be rich.

CHECK AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Check for air leakage in the air induction system [vacuum hose disconnection, cracks, damaged gaskets, etc.].
  Tech Tips
  - If the accelerator pedal is released after racing the engine, the inspection is easier to perform because the vacuum inside the intake pipes increases and the air suction noise becomes louder.
  - If Short FT and Long FT are largely different from the normal values when idling (the intake air volume is small) and almost the same as the normal values when racing the engine (the intake air volume is high), air leakage may be present.
  OK
  
  There is no air leakage.
NG

As a result, the ISC compensation amount becomes less than the standard. At this time, if the throttle body assembly returns to normal and fully closes, the intake air volume will be insufficient and the engine may stall.
*2: If carbon accumulates on the throttle body assembly and the intake air volume decreases, the ISC compensation amount is increased to maintain the idling speed. If this situation continues, the ISC compensation amount reaches the upper limit, the idling speed cannot be maintained causing idling to become unstable, and the engine may stall.

When the results of the inspection using the Active Test are normal but the valve operating noise is abnormal, check the valve for any signs of problems.
If the camshaft timing oil control valve is stuck on, the valve overlap increases and combustion worsens due to the internal EGR which may cause rough idle or cause the engine to stall.
