Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
Any condition that causes the engine to stall and/or not start may set this DTC. Possible conditions include:
- Fuel conditions such as low level, low pressure, or contamination.
- Engine conditions such as low compression.
- Restricted exhaust or air intake systems.
Always inspect for DTCs that would cause an engine stall and/or no start condition. Because the hybrid system can rotate the engine at high RPM, stall and cranks-but-does-not-start conditions act differently than a non-hybrid vehicle. Refer to Action Taken When the DTC Sets.
