SFI SYSTEM (for Sedan) > FAIL-SAFE CHART


If any of the following DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily.

DTCs
Components
Fail-Safe Operations
Fail-Safe Deactivation Conditions
P0011
VVT system
  1. Idle up (Control of combustion worsening)
  2. Stopping fuel-cut control
Pass condition detected
P0031
P0032
Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater
ECM turns off A/F sensor heater.
Ignition switch off
P0037
P0038
Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor Heater
ECM turns off HO2 sensor heater.
Ignition switch off
P0100
P0102
P0103
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Meter
ECM calculates ignition timing according to engine speed and throttle valve position.
Pass condition detected
P0110
P0112
P0113
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
ECM estimates IAT to be 20°C (68°F).
Pass condition detected
P0115
P0117
P0118
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
ECM estimates ECT to be 80°C (176°F).
Pass condition detected

P2135
Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS)
ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and throttle valve returned to 6° throttle position by return spring.
ECM then adjusts engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel cut) and ignition timing in accordance with accelerator pedal opening angle to allow vehicle to continue at minimal speed.

P0300
P0301
P0302
P0303
P0304
*2
  1. Fuel injector assembly
  2. Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS)
When catalyst damage misfire occurs (MIL blinking), following fail-safe operation performed for catalyst overheat malfunction prevention
  1. Under low load and low engine speed
    1. Fuel cut performed on malfunctioning cylinder
  2. Under high load and high engine speed
    1. Throttle valve opening angle control is performed
    2. All cylinder fuel cut or malfunction cylinder fuel cut
Pass condition detected and then ignition switch turned off
P0327
P0328
Knock Sensor
ECM sets ignition timing to maximum retard.
Ignition switch off
P0351 to P0354
Igniter
(Ignition coil No. 1)
ECM cuts fuel.
Pass condition detected
P2120
P2121
P2122
P2123
P2125
P2127
P2128
P2138
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
APP sensor has 2 sensor circuits: Main and Sub.
If either circuit malfunctions, ECM limits the engine output.
If both circuits malfunction, ECM regards accelerator pedal as being released. As result, throttle valve closed and engine idles.
Pass condition detected and then ignition switch turned off
*1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.
*2: Misfire related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
