Engine Control System: Fail-safe

Description 

When a DTC is detected, ECM executes a mode (in the Fail-safe mode) applicable to the DTC. The fail-safe mode has the preset traveling control mode (accelerator angle variation and engine output limit), device fix mode and combustion control mode.

Fail safe mode Vehicle behavior Fail safe pattern
Traveling control mode Accelerator angle variation control ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.
NOTE: SYMBOL ECM does not control the accelerator pedal releasing speed.
A
Engine output control ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the vehicle speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction.
  • Driving at 70 km/h (44 MPH) or more is possible.
NOTE: SYMBOL This value is a reference value converted from engine power to vehicle speed. Actual power limitation value differs due to the malfunctioning part and driving condition.
B
ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the vehicle speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction.
  • Driving at 40 km/h (25 MPH) or more is possible.
NOTE: SYMBOL This value is a reference value converted from engine power to vehicle speed. Actual power limitation value differs due to the malfunctioning part and driving condition.
C
Device fix mode
  • This mode fixes the electric IVT control actuator and the EVT control solenoid valve in the reference position.
  • A control signals is not transmitted to the EGR volume control valve and the EGR volume control is deactivated.
D
Combustion control mode Stratified charge combustion control at starting No stratified charge combustion at starting (cold start). E
Idle speed control Stops feedback control of idle speed and controls with specified speed. F
Recovery speed control at decelerating Stops recovery speed control by the fuel cut at decelerating and controls with specified speed.
Idle neutral control Stops idle neutral control.
Ignition timing correction control Partially controls ignition timing control. G
Retardation control Controls ignition timing delay control in the intermediate water temperature range.
Electric throttle control cancel mode ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (approx. 5 Degrees) by the return spring. H

STOP/START SYSTEM 

Description 

When a DTC is detected, the stop/start indicator lamp blinks slowly and the start/stop system operation is prohibited. When ECM detects error while operating the stop/start system, ECM restarts the engine. Check each DTC code and perform inspection and repair work in accordance with each trouble diagnosis procedure. Refer to DTC Index .
