DTC P3190: Poor Engine Power; DTC P3191: Engine does not Start [10/2015 - 12/2017]: Description

The ECM assembly receives signals from the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly such as the requested engine torque, target engine speed and engine cranking status, and controls the engine output based on the target engine speed and requested torque.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P3190 Poor Engine Power When all of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic):
  • Engine speed is 650 rpm or more (varies depending on the engine coolant temperature).
  • Engine torque requested by the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly exceeds a certain level.
  • The hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly judges that the engine has started.
  • The fuel tank is not empty.
  • Communication between the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly and ECM assembly is normal.
  • "The actual engine torque is less than 20% of the requested engine torque" for 6 seconds, or until the crankshaft turns 100 times (whichever takes longer, differs depending on the engine coolant temperature).
  • Intake system
  • Throttle body with motor assembly
  • Fuel system
  • Engine
  • Mass air flow meter sub-assembly
  • Out of fuel
  • Engine coolant temperature sensor
  • Crankshaft position sensor
  • VVT sensor
  • EGR valve assembly
  • PCV valve and hose
  • PCV hose connections
  • ECM assembly

P3191 Engine does not Start When all of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic):
  • Engine speed is 650 rpm or more (varies depending on the engine coolant temperature).
  • The fuel tank is not empty.
  • Communication between the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly and ECM assembly is normal.
  • After the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly sends the engine start request signal, it does not detect engine start (generation of engine torque) for 6 seconds, or until the crankshaft turns 100 times (whichever takes longer, differs depending on the engine coolant temperature).
