DTC

P279612

Electromagnetic Oil Pump Circuit Short to Battery

DESCRIPTION

The oil pump with solenoid assembly is installed inside the automatic transaxle assembly.

The oil pump with solenoid assembly operates from the time the engine is stopped due to stop and start control until the vehicle starts moving again in order to ensure oil pressure within the automatic transaxle assembly and allow for a smooth start-off.

The engine stop and start ECU supplies power from the backup boost converter to the oil pump with solenoid assembly through Tr1 and performs Tr2 duty control to operate the oil pump with solenoid assembly.

The engine stop and start ECU performs Tr1 and Tr2 control when operating or not operating the oil pump with solenoid assembly and during the preliminary check, and also monitors the EGND terminal to record DTCs.

As a preliminary check, the first time the vehicle speed reaches 2 km/h (1.2 mph) or more on each trip and every time the vehicle speed reaches 2 km/h (1.2 mph) or more after stop and start control is performed, the engine stop and start ECU turns Tr1 ON and checks that there are no malfunctions in the oil pump with solenoid assembly circuit.

The engine stop and start solenoid filter absorbs high-voltage counter-electromotive force generated when the oil pump with solenoid assembly operates.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING

HINT:

  • If the cable is disconnected from the battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed.

    In this case, let the vehicle idle to complete the refresh charge. The refresh charge is complete when the Data List item "Status of Battery Charge Control" changes from "Refresh Charge Mode". (Usually, idling the engine for 5 to 60 minutes with the battery fluid temperature at 11°C (51°F) or higher, the refresh charge will be completed.)

  • If the Techstream is not available and the Data List item "Status of Battery Charge Control" cannot be checked, charge the battery by idling the engine for approximately 5 to 60 minutes or driving the vehicle, and then drive the vehicle and check that stop and start control operates.

    If the engine is started with the hood open, the system determines that a jump start has occurred. Therefore, make sure that the hood is closed before starting the engine and driving the vehicle.

  • After the refresh charge completes, turn the ignition switch off, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then start the engine again. If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.
  • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs.

Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

(e) Start the engine and warm it up.

(f) Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4 mph) or more.

CAUTION:

When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

(g) Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

(h) Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control. (Keep the shift lever in D.)

(i) Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.

(j) Check that no DTCs are output.
