13 -FUEL > 13A-DIRECT INJECTION AND MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (DI AND MPI) > TROUBLESHOOTING > SYMPTOM PROCEDURES > STARTING IMPOSSIBLE (STARTER OPERATIVE BUT NO INITIAL COMBUSTION)
Inspection Procedure 3: Starting Impossible (starter operative but no initial combustion)
 
 
 
 
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • The failure could possibly be caused by the failed ignition circuit, defective fuel feed and so on.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Failed battery
  • Timing chain broken
  • Contamination around the throttle valve
  • Failed ignition system
  • Failed fuel system
  • Failed engine-ECU
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check battery.
  • Check battery (Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery - On-vehicle Service - Battery Test ).
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Replace the battery.
 
STEP 2. M.U.T.-IIISE diagnosis code
Is the diagnosis code set?
Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to ).
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. M.U.T.-IIISE actuator test
  • Item 2: Fuel pump ON
OK: Operating sound of fuel pump can be heard
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Check Inspection Procedure - fuel pump system (Refer to ).
 
STEP 4. Check throttle body (throttle valve portion) contamination.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Throttle body (throttle valve area) cleaning (Refer to ).
 
STEP 5. Check timing chain for breakage.
  • Engine: Cranking
OK: Camshaft rotates
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Replace the timing chain.
 
STEP 6. M.U.T.-IIISE data list
  • Data list reference table (Refer to ).
    1. Item 2: Crank angle sensor
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Check code No. P0335: crank angle sensor system (Refer to ).
 
STEP 7. Visual check of ignition spark.
  • Remove the spark plug and install it to the ignition coil.
  • Connect the ignition coil connector.
  • Disconnect all injector connectors.
  • At the engine start, check each spark plug produces a spark.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Check Inspection Procedure - ignition circuit system (Refer to ).
 
STEP 8. Check injector for operating sound.
  • Injector check (Refer to ).
Is operating sound audible?
Go to Step 9.
Check the injector system of the defective cylinder. Check code No. P0261, P0264, P0267, P0270: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 injector circuit low input (Refer to ). Check code No. P0262, P0265, P0268, P0271: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 injector circuit high input (Refer to ).
 
STEP 9. Fuel pressure measurement.
  • Fuel pressure test (Refer to ).
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10.
Repair.
 
STEP 10. Replace the engine-ECU.
  • After replacing the engine-ECU re-check the trouble symptoms.
Does the trouble symptom persist?
Check for foreign matters (water, diesel fuel, etc.) in fuel and replace if necessary.
Check end.
