SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P160300, P160500

DTC Code DTC Name
P160300 Engine Stall History
P160500 Rough Idling

DESCRIPTION


After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the engine switch being operated.

Using the GTS, 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 has run out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when the engine stalls due to running out of fuel.


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

Using the GTS, 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.

Tech Tips


  • In contrast to normal malfunction diagnosis for components, circuits and systems, DTCs P160300 and P160500 are 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

    • Abnormal mass air flow meter sub-assembly output due to existence of foreign matter

    • Abnormal air fuel ratio due to malfunction of air fuel ratio sensor or heated oxygen sensor, air leaks in intake system or insufficient fuel supply
    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
    Engine stalls or is difficult to start immediately after engine stalled, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm Deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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 multi freeze frame data.

  • When DTC P160300 (Engine Stall History) is stored, DTC P160500 (Rough Idling) is also stored. When confirming freeze frame data, check DTC P160500. The ECM stores DTC P160500 first. Therefore, multi freeze frame data can be confirmed through DTC P160500, enabling the technician to obtain more information.

  • 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, no load, and shift lever in D or N) and compare this data with the freeze frame data.

  • Inspections take into account the fact that the malfunction may not have recurred 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

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

    5. Read the DTCs.


      Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Only DTC P160300 and/or P160500 is output A
      DTCs other than P160300 and/or P160500 are output B

      Tech Tips


      • If any DTCs other than P160300 or P160500 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

      • Using freeze frame data, confirm the conditions the moment the DTC was stored and after the DTC was stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
