Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data Items Related to Lack of Power

HINT:

The frequency of the malfunction can be determined by confirming the number of times the symptom occurred.

Engine Lack of Power Count

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
Make sure to reproduce the conditions present when the malfunction occurred.
Using the Techstream, read the Data List to confirm the engine operating conditions. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
The vehicle condition when the problem symptoms occurred can be determined using the Vehicle Control History.
As the Vehicle Control History data may be overwritten whenever the trigger conditions are met, make sure to save the Vehicle Control History data before performing any inspections.
If the problem symptoms do not recur, attempt to reproduce the symptoms and conditions when the malfunction occurred based on the result of the customer problem analysis and Vehicle Control History. Place the priority on confirming the symptoms.
When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.
The suspected cause of the problem symptoms can be determined using the codes, items, and Freeze Frame Data within the Vehicle Control History.
When confirming the Freeze Frame Data, be sure to check all multi Freeze Frame Data.
When confirming the Freeze Frame Data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.
If the malfunction is currently occurring, use the Data List to confirm the current vehicle condition. By using the Data List, more detailed vehicle information can be confirmed than by using the Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data by itself.
As Vehicle Control History may be stored when performing an Active Test, learning, etc., make sure to clear the Vehicle Control History before returning the vehicle to the customer.
If the engine is started immediately after reconnecting the battery terminal, the engine may stall immediately after it starts due to the intercommunication process between each ECU. For this reason, when starting the engine after reconnecting the battery terminal, first turn the ignition switch to ON and then wait several seconds for the communication process to complete before starting the engine.

Data List	Result	Proceed to
Short FT B1S1 + Long FT B1S1	-20% or higher, or less than 20%	A
Short FT B1S1 + Long FT B1S1	Other than above	B

HINT:

"Total FT Bank 1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT Bank 1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT B1S1" and "Long FT B1S1".
An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No.2 Bank 1 and A/F Learn Value High Bank 1.
The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +20% or more):
1. Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
2. Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
3. Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
4. Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly or fuel suction plate sub-assembly)
On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value High Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
If the air fuel ratio becomes lean only when the engine is running under a high load and at a high engine speed, clogging of the fuel filter is suspected.
The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -20% or less):
1. Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
2. Purge VSV system

GO TO STEP 15
