General Information: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Calculation of engine roughness
  • Faulty spark plugs, high-tension lead, or Ignition coil
  • Incorrect valve timing
  • Uneven compression
  • Air leakage
  • Improper Fuel pressure or dirty fuel.
  • Blocked/Leaking injectors
  • Leakage between cooling system and cylinder
Enable Conditions
  • Mass air flow above zero load curve: 60~180 mg/stk (0.1~0.4 mlb/stk) (depends on N)
  • Engine speed: 600~6500 rpm
  • Mass air flow gradient: 0.42~118 mg (0~0.3 mlb)/stk/seg.
  • Throttle gradient: 11~1160° TPS/sec.
  • Ignition retard: 20° CRK/seg.
  • A/C compressor switched ON/OFF
  • No rough road
  • No relevant failure
  • Battery voltage > 11V
 
Case 1) Threshold Value
  • Misfire rate = 7~33% within 200 rev.
Diagnosis Time
  • 3 * 200 revolution continuous
 
Case 2) Threshold Value
  • First 1000 rev. Misfire rate > 1% (AT)/2% (MT)
  • After first 1000 rev. Misfire rate > 1% (AT)/2% (MT)
Diagnosis Time
  • 1000 revolution continuous
  • 4 * 1000 revolution continuous
