P3190

DTC P3190 POOR ENGINE POWER

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION


DTC Detection Condition:




From the HV ECU, the ECM receives data such as power output required for the engine (required output), estimated torque produced by the engine (estimated torque), engine RPM of control target (target RPM), whether the engine is in start mode or not. Then, based on the required output and target RPM, the ECM calculates a target torque that is to be produced by the engine and compares it with the estimated torque. If the estimated torque is very low compared with the target torque, or the engine start mode continues for the specific duration calculated by water temperature, an abnormal condition is detected.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:




Typical Enabling Conditions:




Typical Malfunction Thresholds:




The ECM and HV control ECU are connected by a communication line called CAN. The ECM sends information on the engine speed and other data to the HV control ECU while the HV control ECU sends the information such as a requirement for the engine power to the ECM using the CAN communication line. When the communication between the ECM and HV control ECU is normal and the following items becomes specific condition, the ECM will illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.
a. Engine speed
b. Power switch
c. Target torque
d. Ratio of target torque against estimated torque
e. Fuel level

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
: Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
