Code No. P0622: LIN Communication Error (Alternator)
 
 
 
 
OPERATION
  • The energised state of the alternator field coil is inputted from the alternator connector terminal C to the engine-ECU connector terminal LNBS via the Local Interconnect Network (LIN).
 
 
FUNCTION
  • A signal of the power supply duty ratio for the alternator field coil is inputted to the engine-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU detects the alternator output current and controls the idling speed according to the output current (electric load).
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Conditions
  • After 2 seconds since the ignition switch is turned ON or since the completion of engine start.
  • Battery positive voltage is more than 10 V and is less than 16.5 V.
Judgement Criterion
  • The engine-ECU cannot receive the data from the alternator.
or
  • The alternator cannot receive the data from the engine-ECU.
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Prohibits alternator output suppression control against current consumers. (operate as a normal alternator.)
  • In the normal operation, the auto stop is prohibited.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Failed alternator
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in alternator circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check of open circuit, short circuit, and damage in LNBS line between alternator connector and engine-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 2. M.U.T.-IIISE diagnosis code
  • Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.
Is the diagnosis code set?
Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
 
STEP 3. Replace the alternator
  • After replacing the alternator, reconfirm whether the diagnosis code is set.
Is the diagnosis code set?
Replace the engine-ECU.
Check end.
