DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory Note
P05A211 Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Short to Ground

Either of the following conditions is met and the ECM receives a malfunction signal 17 times* (1 trip detection logic):


  • Short to ground detected in the grille shutter motor (swing grille actuator assembly) when a grille shutter operation is requested.

  • Short to ground detected in the motor drive circuit when a grille shutter operation is requested.

 Swing grille actuator assembly Does not come on DTC stored SAE Code: P05A5
P05A212 Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Short to Battery

Either of the following conditions is met and the ECM receives a malfunction signal 17 times* (1 trip detection logic):


  • Short to +B detected in the grille shutter motor (swing grille actuator assembly) when a grille shutter operation is requested.

  • Short to +B detected in the motor drive circuit when a grille shutter operation is requested.

 Swing grille actuator assembly Does not come on DTC stored SAE Code: P05A4
P05A213 Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Open

Either of the following conditions is met and the ECM receives a malfunction signal 17 times* (1 trip detection logic):


  • Open detected in the grille shutter motor (swing grille actuator assembly) when a grille shutter operation is requested.

  • Open detected in the grille shutter motor circuit when a grille shutter operation is requested.

  • Internal malfunction detected in the grille shutter ECU (swing grille actuator assembly) when a grille shutter operation is requested.

 Swing grille actuator assembly Does not come on DTC stored SAE Code: P05A2

Tech Tips

*: For every 65 ms that the ECM receives a grille shutter system malfunction signal from the grille shutter ECU (swing grille actuator assembly) the ECM determines it has received the signal 1 time. If the ECM determines the malfunction signal has been received 17 consecutive times (the signal is received for approximately 1 second continuously), it will store a DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION


  1. Grille Shutter Motor (Swing Grille Actuator Assembly) Malfunction

    If the grille shutter ECU (swing grille actuator assembly) detects a malfunction in the grille shutter motor drive circuit when a grille shutter operation is requested, it will output a malfunction signal to the ECM and the ECM will store a DTC.

    Detection Condition DTC No.
    Short to Ground P05A211 (Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Short to Ground)
    Short to +B P05A212 (Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Short to Battery)
    Open P05A213 (Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Open)

  2. Grille Shutter ECU Internal Malfunction

    If the grille shutter ECU detects an internal malfunction, it will output a malfunction signal to the ECM and the ECM will store a DTC.

    Detection Condition DTC No.
    EEPROM Malfunction P05A213 (Active Grille Air Shutter "A" Circuit Open)
    Analog/Digital Conversion Malfunction

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  3. Turn the GTS on.

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

  5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  6. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  7. Turn the GTS on.

  8. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Grill Shutter / Active Test / Shutter Closing Operation Lock Detection / Data List / Shutter Operation Lock Detection Result for Active Test.

  9. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test and read the value of Data List item Shutter Operation Lock Detection Result for Active Test.

    OK
    "Normal" is displayed.

  10. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Grill Shutter / Active Test / Shutter Opening Operation Lock Detection / Data List / Shutter Operation Lock Detection Result for Active Test.

  11. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test and read the value of Data List item Shutter Operation Lock Detection Result for Active Test.

    OK
    "Normal" is displayed.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

In order to ensure safety, before performing troubleshooting or removing the swing grille actuator assembly or radiator shutter sub-assembly, change the grille shutter control mode to maintenance mode.

Tech Tips

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.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM UTILITY USING GTS (GRILL SHUTTER CONTROL MODE SWITCHING)
