DTC detecting condition:
Immediately at fault recognition
Trouble symptom:
Engine does not start
Wiring diagram:
Engine Electrical System Ref. to WIRING SYSTEM (CROSSTREK MODEL (HEV))>ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM .
CAUTION:- Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO(HEV))>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .
- If DTC P1620 or P1621 is detected, failsafe that stops engine drive may be triggered. In that case, motor drive is performed and SOC is reduced as HV battery is not charged. Note that READY ON is not possible if HV battery runs out due to reduction in SOC.
- Note that READY ON is not possible due to HV battery depletion caused by reduction in SOC if engine start test is repeatedly performed during reproduction check.
- If READY ON is not possible due to HV battery depletion, charge HV battery.
- DTC P300000 or P300016 of HV battery may be output due to HV battery depletion.
