Title: A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P268111,P268115; Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit Short to Ground; 2018 MY Camry HV [07/2017 - 09/2018]

DTC

P268111

Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit Short to Ground

DTC

P268115

Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit Short to Battery or Open

DESCRIPTION

The flow shutting valve (for heater control) used for the variable cooling system is a magnet type valve that is closed when the engine is warming up to prevent coolant from flowing through the heater passage which reduces engine warm up time.

DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the power switch is on (IG) or the engine is running and the current operating state and target operating state of the flow shutting valve (for heater control) do not match, the ECM determines that there is an open or short in the flow shutting valve (for heater control) circuit and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

Make sure to perform this procedure when the engine coolant temperature is between 5 and 40°C (41 and 104°F) and the difference between the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature is within 10°C (18°F) or less.

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the Coolant Water Route Switching Valve.
  9. Perform the Active Test Activate the Coolant Water Route Switching Valve, select "Close" and wait for 3 seconds or more.
  10. Perform the Active Test Activate the Coolant Water Route Switching Valve, select "Open" and wait for 3 seconds or more.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
  12. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  14. Input the DTC: P268111 or P268115.
  15. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display

    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

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

  • If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. 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.
