SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1604

DTC Code DTC Name
P1604 Startability Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when the engine does not start even though the STA signal is input or when the engine takes a long time to start, and when the engine speed is low or the engine stalls just after the engine starts.

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 there is engine starting trouble due to running out of fuel.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

Tech Tips


  • In contrast to normal malfunction diagnosis for components, circuits and systems, DTC P1604 is used to determine the malfunctioning area from the problem symptoms and freeze frame data when the user mentions problems such as starting difficulty.

    As the DTC can be stored as a result of certain user actions, even if the DTC is output, if the customer makes no mention of problems, clear the DTC without performing any troubleshooting and return the vehicle to the customer.

  • If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

  • When the Data List item "Immobiliser Fuel Cut" is ON, the engine cannot be started.

  • 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 5 sets of freeze frame data Click here.

  • When confirming the freeze frame data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.

  • Try to start 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 compare it with the freeze frame data.

  • If the malfunction does not reoccur, carefully check the vehicle conditions from when the malfunction occurred using freeze frame data.

  • When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.

  • If the same inspection or replacement procedure appears 2 times when performing an inspection procedure, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure the second time.


  1. Malfunction Recurrence and Inspection Areas


    1. Freeze frame data exists, but the malfunction (starting difficulty) has not reoccurred and the malfunction conditions are unknown.


      1. The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 0 rpm (the engine does not crank).

        Tech Tips

        One of the following problems may be present: battery depletion, excess engine friction, a starter malfunction or a crank position sensor malfunction.


        • If the battery voltage is less than 6 V during cranking, there is a high probability that engine friction is abnormal.

        • If the battery voltage drops to 5 V or less when starting the engine, the battery may be malfunctioning.

        • If the battery voltage fluctuates while cranking the engine, it can be concluded that cranking is being performed. When the engine speed is 0 rpm, the crank position sensor and/or an ECM may be malfunctioning.

          A005GD7E96

      2. All engine speeds recorded in the freeze frame data are between 60 and 250 rpm (the engine cranks but there is no combustion).

        Tech Tips

        If the engine speed is between 60 and 250 rpm (no initial combustion), there may be a wiring problem or a complete failure of an ignition or fuel system part.


        • Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and the engine may not be able to be started.

          A005I33E54

      3. The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 250 rpm or higher (the initial combustion and starter turn off timing is too late).

        Tech Tips

        If the engine speed is 250 rpm or higher (combustion occurs but the initial combustion and starter turnoff timing is too late), the fuel injection volume is often incorrect (too low or too high) and determining the cause of the malfunction is often difficult.


        • Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and engine starting trouble may occur.

        • If Long FT #1 is incorrect, there may be a fuel supply problem due to the injectors or fuel pump being clogged, etc.

        • If the engine cranking speed is too high, compression loss may have occurred due to carbon interfering with the valve operation.

          A005GD7E95

    2. When the malfunction (starting difficulty) can be reproduced, or malfunction conditions are known, perform the following inspections ("Problem symptoms" and "Systems to inspect")


      1. Problem symptoms


        1. The engine does not crank.

          Tech Tips

          The starter is normal if a noise that indicates the starter pinion gear is extending is heard. The battery may be fully depleted or there may be excess engine friction.

        2. The engine cranking speed is abnormal.

          Tech Tips

          If the engine cranking speed is too high (for example, 300 rpm or higher with no combustion), compression loss may have occurred because carbon interfered with valve operation, etc.

        3. There is no initial combustion.

          Tech Tips

          If there is no initial combustion, there is probably a wiring problem or an ignition or fuel system part malfunction.

        4. The engine stalls after starter turn off.

          Tech Tips

          If the engine stalls after starter turn off, the air fuel ratio may be incorrect or the VVT may have a problem returning.

        5. The initial combustion and starter turn off occur late.

          Tech Tips

          If the initial combustion and starter turn off occur late, the fuel injection volume is probably incorrect (too low or too high).

          Tech Tips

          Causes of fuel system malfunctions according to conditions present at the time of the malfunction.


          • When 2 to 3 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Fuel pressure loss due to the pressure regulator failing to maintain the fuel pressure.

          • When 15 to 120 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Problem with injector fuel seal.

          • When a long time has elapsed after stopping the engine: Pressure regulator is stuck open.

    Tech Tips

    For vehicle not equipped with entry and start system, go to steps next.


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Immobiliser Fuel Cut.

    1. Check for air leaks in the intake system (vacuum hose disconnection, cracks, damaged gaskets, etc.) Click here.

      Tech Tips


      • If the accelerator pedal is released after racing the engine, the inspection is easier to perform because the vacuum inside the intake manifold increases and the air suction noise becomes louder.

      • If Short FT #1 and Long FT #1 are largely different from the normal values (differ by more than 15%) when idling (intake air volume is small) and almost the same as the normal values when racing the engine (for example, when maintaining a speed of 3000 rpm) (intake air volume is high), air leakage may be present.
