PROCEDURE
INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER
Interview the customer for details about the conditions when the rough idle occurred.
Tech Tips
Depending on the conditions when the rough idle occurred, a malfunction in one of the following areas is suspected.
| Problem Symptom | Suspected Area |
|---|---|
| Hesitation or lack of power occurs during acceleration, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm |
|
| 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 |
|
Temporary deviation in the electrical throttle system idle speed control due to external factors (fuel quality, air conditioning system (environmental causes or low refrigerant pressure) or charging system (battery deterioration or low power generation by the alternator)) |

Tech Tips
"Total FT Bank 1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT Bank 1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT Bank 1" and "Long FT Bank 1".
An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value High Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low (Dual) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid (Dual) No.1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid (Dual) No.2 Bank 1 and A/F Learn Value High (Dual) Bank 1.
The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +15% or more):
Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly or fuel suction plate sub-assembly)
On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value High (Dual) Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value Low (Dual) Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -15% or less):
Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
Purge VSV system

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (D-4S (FUEL CUT))
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Tech Tips
Reproduce the vehicle conditions when the malfunction occurred. (such as after the engine is warmed up or after a cold start).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / D-4S (Fuel Cut) / Data List / Engine Speed.
| Active Test Display |
|---|
| D-4S (Fuel Cut) |
| Data List Display |
|---|
| Engine Speed |
According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test and check for a malfunctioning cylinder.
Tech Tips
Perform fuel-cut of port injection and direct injection for each cylinder and check the change in the engine speed.
If the engine speed of a cylinder does not change while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that the cylinder is malfunctioning.
If the engine speed of all cylinders change while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that multiple cylinders are malfunctioning.
A cylinder for which the Data List item "Misfire Count Cylinder #1 to #4" increases may be malfunctioning.
If "Compression Leakage Count" in the Data List increases, misfiring due to insufficient compression may be occurring.
When switching the injection method and performing the "D-4S (Fuel Cut)" Active Test, switch from "Port" to "Direct".
Do not switch from "Direct" to "Port". When performing the inspection more than once, after the Active Test ends, lightly race the engine, and then perform the inspection from "Port" again.
If the display does not switch from "Port" even after lighting racing the engine, idle the engine for approximately 1 minute, and then lightly race the engine.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CHECK THE CYLINDER COMPRESSION)
Tech Tips
If the vehicle does not support the Active Test "Check the Cylinder Compression", measure the compression pressure. If the compression pressure is normal, go to step 8.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Check the Cylinder Compression / Data List / Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4 and Average Engine Speed of All Cylinder.

| Check the Cylinder Compression |
| Data List Display |

| Average Engine Speed of All Cylinder |
Tech Tips
To display the entire Data List, press the pull down menu button next to Primary. Then select Compression.
Push the snapshot button to turn the snapshot function on.
Tech Tips
Using the snapshot function, data can be recorded during the Active Test.
While the engine is not running, press the Active button to change Check the Cylinder Compression to "Start".
Tech Tips
After performing the above procedure, Check the Cylinder Compression will start. Fuel injection for all cylinders is prohibited and each cylinder engine speed measurement enters standby mode.
Crank the engine for about 10 seconds.
Monitor the engine speed (Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4 and Average Engine Speed of All Cylinder) displayed on the GTS.
Tech Tips
At first, the GTS will display extremely high cylinder engine speed values. After approximately 10 seconds of engine cranking, the engine speed measurement of each cylinder will change to the actual engine speed.
If the cylinder engine speed values (Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4) displayed in the Data List do not change from an extremely high value, return to the Active Test menu screen, change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to "Start" and crank the engine again within 1 second.
Note
Do not crank the engine continuously for 20 seconds or more.
If it is necessary to crank the engine again after Check the Cylinder Compression has been changed to "Start" and the engine has been cranked once, press Exit to return to the Active Test menu screen. Then change Check the Cylinder Compression to "Start" and crank the engine.
Use a fully-charged battery.
Stop cranking the engine, and then change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to "Stop" after the engine stops.
Note
If the Active Test is changed to "Stop" while the engine is being cranked, the engine will start.
When performing the Active Test, DTC P160400 (Startability Malfunction) may be stored.
After performing the Active Test, make sure to check and clear DTCs.
Push the snapshot button to turn the snapshot function off.
Select "Stored Data" on the GTS screen, select the recorded data and display the data as a graph.
Tech Tips
If the data is not displayed as a graph, the change of the values cannot be observed.
Read the value.
Tech Tips
If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed Cylinder" of a cylinder is higher than other cylinders, the cylinder may be malfunctioning.
If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed Cylinder" is high for only one cylinder, compression loss is suspected.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / D-4S (Injection Volume).
| Tester Display |
|---|
| D-4S (Injection Volume) |
According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test and check the vehicle conditions when increasing and decreasing the fuel injection volume of port injection and direct injection.
Tech Tips
Increase and decrease the fuel injection volume of the port injection and direct injection simultaneously and check the vehicle condition.
Change the fuel injection volume between the minimum and maximum range of correction (e.g. -12.5% to 24.8%).
When switching the injection method and performing the "D-4S (Injection Volume)" Active Test, switch from "Port" to "Direct".
Do not switch from "Direct" to "Port". When performing the inspection more than once, after the Active Test ends, lightly race the engine, and then perform the inspection from "Port" again.
If the display does not switch from "Port" even after lighting racing the engine, idle the engine for approximately 1 minute, and then lightly race the engine.
