G16E-GTS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P051A11; Crankcase Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Low Circuit Short to Ground; 2023 - 2025 MY GR Corolla [09/2022

The internal sensor in the vacuum sensor assembly detects the air inlet duct internal pressure as a voltage.

When a DTC is output, check the Data List item "PCV Pressure Sensor 1 Voltage" using the GTS.

If the Data List displays a normal value, the normal value may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates the air inlet duct internal pressure from the vacuum sensor assembly output voltage. If the vacuum sensor assembly output voltage is not within the normal range, there may be a malfunction in the vacuum sensor assembly or an open or short circuit. In this case, the ECM stores a DTC.

When the sensor output voltage is below 0.23 V for 3 seconds or more, the ECM stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and wait 5 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P051A11.

Check the DTC judgment result.

GTS 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 shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
[A] to [B]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. 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.

PROCEDURE

Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
