COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • Failure is possibly caused by failed ignition system, improper air-fuel ratio, improper compression pressure or other faults.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed air-fuel ratio control system
  • Failed ignition system
  • Failed fuel system
  • Failed intake and exhaust system
  • Failed emission control system
  • Throttle valve fouled
  • Improper compression pressure
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
STEP 2. Check injector for operating sound.
Q: Can operating sound be heard?
YES:  Go to Step 3 .
NO: 
  • Check the injector system of the defective cylinder
  • (Refer to code No. 41 injector system ).
STEP 3. MUT-II/III data list
    1. Item 13: Intake air temperature sensor
    1. Item 14: Throttle position sensor
    1. Item 21: Engine coolant temperature sensor
    1. Item 25: Barometric pressure sensor
Q: Are the check results normal?
YES:  Go to Step 4 .
NO:  Perform the diagnosis code classified check procedure for the sensor that has shown an abnormal data value (Refer to Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Codes ).
STEP 5. Check EGR valve itself.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 6 <Vehicle without catalytic converter>.
NO:  Replace EGR valve.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 7 .
NO:  Repair.
STEP 9. Check spark plug cable itself.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO:  Replace spark plug cable.
STEP 10. Check ignition coil itself.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 11 .
NO:  Replace ignition coil.
           
  • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between terminal No. 3 of ignition coil connector of each cylinder and C-112 engine-A/T-ECU
    • Check signal line for open/short circuit and damage.
NO:  Repair.
STEP 13. Measure fuel pressure.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 14 .
NO:  Repair.
STEP 14. Check compression pressure.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Replace engine-A/T-ECU.
NO:  Repair.
