STOP AND START SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P323B

DTC Code DTC Name
P323B Backup Boost Converter

DESCRIPTION

The eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) supplements battery voltage to help prevent it from dropping when the engine is restarted during Stop and Start system control. This is done to prevent some electrical systems, such as the audio system, from being disabled due to low power supply voltage.

The engine stop and start ECU monitors for low battery voltage according to the conditions for Stop and Start system control and starter ON/OFF signals. If the voltage drops below a threshold, the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) boosts battery voltage.

The input voltage present when the DON2 terminal switches from standby mode to boosting mode is set as the target voltage. If the voltage is below 13 V when switching to boosting mode, the target voltage will be set to 13 V.

If the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) fails to maintain a certain level of battery voltage when the engine is started due to Stop and Start system control, the error is sent to the engine stop and start ECU by duty signal. The engine stop and start ECU will then store DTC P323B.

The eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) has a control circuit and relay for each electrical system it supplies, such as the meter and audio systems. If a malfunction occurs in a circuit connected with the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter), the relay opens to protect the circuit (the relay remains open until the next trip).

If a relay opens, power supply to the circuit will be shut off, disabling the respective systems on that circuit.

If a malfunction occurs in the Stop and Start system, the stop and start cancel indicator light blinks (the MIL does not come on).

  1. After troubleshooting, perform the following steps to recheck for DTCs, check the battery voltage, and confirm that the Stop and Start system operates normally.

    Tech Tips


    • If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the stop and start will be prohibited. In this case, drive the vehicle for 15 to 40 minutes to permit the stop and start operation.

    • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after the engine warms up and check that the engine speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.

    • Check if the battery has become weak.
