SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P15EA12 and P15EA14

DTC Code DTC Name
P15EA12 Oil Jet Control Valve Circuit Short to Battery
P15EA14 Oil Jet Control Valve Circuit Short to Ground or Open

DESCRIPTION

The piston-cooling oil jet control system uses the oil pressure switching valve assembly to start and stop the operation of the oil jets.

When the oil pressure switching valve assembly operates, oil pressure from the oil pressure switching valve assembly closes the relief valve, which shuts off the oil path between the oil pump and oil jet and stops the operation of the oil jets. This reduces fuel dilution during low-temperature starting and improves the piston heating to reduce friction and suppress the generation of deposits. When the oil pressure switching valve assembly is inoperative, oil pressure from the oil pressure switching valve assembly is cut and the relief valve opens. This opens the oil path between the oil pump and oil jet and starts the oil jet to cool and lubricate the pistons.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the output voltage of the oil pressure switching valve assembly while it is operating. If a continuous mismatch occurs between the ECM control value and the output voltage, the ECM determines there is a malfunction and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

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

  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

  6. Start the engine.

  7. Idle the engine for 30 seconds [A].

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].

  9. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tip:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  11. Input the DTC: P15EA12 or P15EA14.

  12. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Description

    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal

    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
    Tip:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tip:

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. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

    1. Check the engine oil level.

    2. Check the state of the oil level warning light (indicator).

    Result

    Result

    Proceed to

    Engine oil level is low and oil level warning light (indicator) is illuminated

    A

    Engine oil level is within the specified range and oil level warning light (indicator) is not illuminated

    B
    Tip:

    If the oil level warning light (indicator) is not illuminated even though the engine oil level is lower than the Low mark, or the oil level warning light (indicator) is illuminated even though the engine oil level is within the specified range, inspect the oil level sensor and related parts.
