Fuel Cut Control System Inspection
NOTE:
- This inspection has to be performed after the Fuel Injector Operation Inspection.
If data monitor function of M-MDS is used:
- Warm up the engine and idle it.
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Select the RPM and the FUELPW PIDs. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] ).
- Monitor both PIDs while performing the following steps:
- Depress the accelerator pedal and increase the RPM PID to 4,000 rpm.
- Quickly release the accelerator pedal (brake pedal is not depressed) and verify that the FUELPW PID is 0 msec
, and 2-5 msec
when the RPM PID drops below 1,200 rpm.
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
- ECT sensor No.1 and related wiring harness (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR INSPECTION ).
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
RELATED PIDs DESCRIPTION
| Monitor item (Definition) | Unit/Condition | Condition/Specification (Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| RPM | RPM |
|
| FUELPW | sec |
|
If data monitor function of M-MDS is not used:
- Warm up the engine and idle it.
- Measure the fuel injector control signal wave profile using the oscilloscope while performing the following steps:
- Depress the accelerator pedal and increase the engine speed to 4,000 rpm.
- Quickly release the accelerator pedal (brake pedal is not depressed) and verify that the wave profile constant B+
, and the wave appears when the engine speed drops below 1,200 rpm.
(See
PCM INSPECTION
).
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
- ECT sensor No.1 and related wiring harness (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR INSPECTION ).
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
