SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1235

DTC Code DTC Name
P1235 High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The fuel pump (for high pressure side) is attached to the insulator, which is attached to the cylinder head cover. The pump activates according to the position of the cam on the exhaust side camshaft (right bank). The fuel pump (for high pressure side) increases the pressure of the fuel supplied from the fuel pump in the fuel tank to 4 to 13 MPa (40.8 to 132.6 kgf/cm2, 580 to 1886 psi) according to the operating condition, and it feeds the fuel to the fuel delivery pipe.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

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

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

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

  6. Start the engine.

  7. Idle the engine for 10 seconds [A].

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].

  9. 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.

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

  11. Input the DTC: P1235.

  12. 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
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


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

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

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • If the current from the INJ relay is cut because DTC P062D is stored, DTC P1235 will be stored even if the fuel pump (for high pressure side) is normal.

  • 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.

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - INJECTOR DRIVER (EDU))


    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Disconnect the injector driver (EDU) connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F3-10 (FPF1) - F35-7 (FPF1) Always Below 1 Ω

  4. INSPECT ECM (FPD VOLTAGE)


    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    2. Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.


      1. While cranking the engine, check the waveform the terminals of the ECM connector.

        ECM Terminal Name F3-11 (FPD) - F4-1 (E1)
        Tester Range 2 V/DIV., 5 ms./DIV.
        Condition Cranking

        		 *b FPD Terminal Waveform Normal Waveform
        Standard
        Signal waveform appears as shown in the illustration.

        Tech Tips

        The FPD terminal waveform is output only right after the engine starts. If this DTC is stored when the engine is started from engine switch off, the system enters fail-safe mode and the waveform is not output.
