Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

INSPECT SIGNAL PARTS FOR MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the value at the following PCM PIDs using the M-MDS.

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

    • APP (APP sensor)

    • BOO (Brake switch)

    • ECT (ECT sensor No.1)

    • RPM (CKP sensor)

  • Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.

No

Go to the next step.

2

INSPECT ATF LEVEL

Yes

Adjust the ATF level to the specification.

(See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [FW6A-EL].)

No

Go to the next step.

3

VISUALLY INSPECT OIL COOLER
  • Visually inspect the oil cooler.

  • Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.

(See OIL COOLER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FW6A-EL].)

No

Go to the next step.

4

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CONTROL VALVE BODY

Yes

Replace the control valve body, then go to the next step.

(See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FW6A-EL].)

No

Symptom troubleshooting is completed.
