COMBUSTION TYPE POWER HEATER SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:050

DTC Code DTC Name
050 Detection of No Ignition

DESCRIPTION

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
050

The ECU is locked as a result of 10 successive heater ignition failures.

(DTC 052 is detected 10 times in a row.)

  • Air duct

  • Exhaust pipe

  • Heater fuel pump sub-assembly

  • Fuel pump filter (heater fuel pump sub-assembly)

  • Power heater ECU (combustion heater assembly)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • In some cases, the combustion heater, air duct and exhaust pipe are extremely hot. When performing the inspection, wear protective gloves and do not touch these parts with bare hands.

  • When performing the inspection, wear a face mask to prevent direct inhalation of exhaust gas.

Tech Tips

Output of this DTC indicates that the combustion heater has been locked by the power heater ECU and cannot be operated. Clear the DTCs by pressing the memory clear buttons on the DTC tester to unlock the power heater ECU Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FUEL PIPE


    1. Check that there is no fuel leakage between heater fuel pump sub-assembly and combustion heater assembly.

  2. INSPECT AIR DUCT


    1. Perform the following checks for the air duct.


      • The air duct is not clogged with foreign matter.

      • Air intake is normal.

      • The air duct is correctly installed to the combustion heater assembly.

      • There are no defects that would cause air to leak from the intake air duct.

  3. INSPECT EXHAUST PIPE


    1. Perform the following checks for the exhaust air duct.


      • The exhaust pipe is not clogged with foreign matter.

      • Air exhaust is normal.

      • The exhaust pipe is correctly installed to the combustion heater assembly.

      • There are no defects that would cause air to leak from the exhaust pipe.

      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Heater pump assembly)

      Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A30-1 (+B) - A30-2 (E2) Always 9 to 12 Ω

    2. Inspect heater fuel pump sub-assembly operation.


      1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the pressure of the hose by hand.

        CAUTION:


        • This inspection must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent damage to the heater fuel pump sub-assembly.

        • Always switch the voltage on and off on the battery side, not the heater fuel pump sub-assembly side.

        • Keep the heater fuel pump sub-assembly as far away from the battery as possible.

        OK
        Pressure is applied to the hose.

  5. REPLACE FUEL PUMP FILTER (HEATER FUEL PUMP SUB-ASSEMBLY)


    1. Replace the fuel pump filter (heater fuel pump sub-assembly) with a new one Click here.

    2. Check that the condition returns to normal.

      OK
      The combustion heater assembly is ignited normally and it starts operating.

    OK

    END (FUEL PUMP FILTER IS FAULTY)
