ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1601

DTC Code DTC Name
P1601 Injector Correction Circuit Malfunction (EEPROM)

DESCRIPTION

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P1601 Injector Correction Circuit Malfunction (EEPROM)

Any condition is met (1 trip detection logic):


  • Injector compensation code is not registered.

  • Incorrect injector compensation code is registered.

  • Injector pilot quantity learning value is not registered.

  • Injector compensation code

  • Injector pilot quantity learning value

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored

Note


  • When a injector assembly is replaced, the new injector compensation code must be input into the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, all of the existing injector compensation codes must be input into the new ECM.

  • Injector compensation codes are unique, 30-digit, alphanumeric values printed on the head portion of each injector assembly. If an incorrect injector compensation code is input into the ECM, the engine assembly may rattle or engine idling may become rough. In addition, engine failure may occur and the life of the engine may be shortened.

  • When a injector assembly is replaced, perform pilot quantity learning. When the ECM is replaced, all of the existing injector pilot quantity learning values must be input into the new ECM.

Tech Tips

When replacing the ECM with a new one, if the injector compensation code and/or injector pilot quantity learning value are not entered, DTC P1601 will be stored.


  1. When replacing the ECM with a new one, input all learning values and codes into the new ECM as follows:


    1. Prior to replacing the ECM, use the GTS to read and save each learning value and code from the original ECM Click here.

    2. After installing a new ECM, input the saved learning values and codes into the new ECM using the GTS Click here.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off and turn the GTS off.

    4. Wait for at least 30 seconds.

    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    6. Clear the DTC P1601 stored in the ECM using the GTS Click here.

      Tech Tips


      • Each injector assembly has different fuel injection characteristics. In order to optimize the fuel injections, the ECM uses the compensation codes to balance the different fuel injections between each injector assembly.

      • When you first turn the ignition switch to ON after replacing the ECM and one or more other components, DTC P1601 is stored. Manually clear the DTC upon completion of compensation code registration.

PROCEDURE


  1. LEARNING VALUES CONFIRMATION


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

      Note

      Do not start the engine.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Learning values confirmation.

      Click here


      Powertrain > Engine > Utility
      Tester Display
      Learning Values Confirmation
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      The injector compensation codes are not input A
      The injector compensation codes registered in the ECM are different than the codes imprinted on the injector assemblies
      The pilot quantity learning values are set to the default values B
      Except above C

      Tech Tips

      When the injector pilot quantity learning values are set to the default values, "7FFF" is displayed.

  3. LEARNING VALUES WRITE

    Tech Tips

    When replacing the ECM, after performing "Learning Values Save" to save the learned values from the old ECM using the GTS and replacing the old ECM with a new one, "Learning Values Write" was not performed using the GTS causing this DTC to be output.


    1. Install the old ECM.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Learning values save.

      Click here


      Powertrain > Engine > Utility
      Tester Display
      Learning Values Save

    5. Remove the old ECM.

    6. Install a new ECM.

    7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Learning values write.
