Rough Idling [12/2019 - ]: Procedure
- INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER
- Interview the customer for details about the conditions when the rough idle occurred.
HINT:
Depending on the conditions when the rough idle occurred, a malfunction in one of the following areas is suspected.
Problem Symptom Suspected Area Engine runs rough, particularly when idling after a coil start. Engine runs less rough when the engine speed is increased Possibly caused by excessive EGR due to insufficient closing of the EGR valve Hesitation or lack of power occurs during acceleration, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm - For low mileage vehicles (ODO reading of less than approximately 20000 km (12428 miles) or yearly mileage of less than 2000 km (1243 miles)): Fuel quality (degradation, water contamination, etc.)
- For high mileage vehicles (ODO reading of more than approximately 150000 km (93210 miles)): Excessively lean air fuel ratio during acceleration due to deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve or adherence of fuel to the deposits
- Abnormal mass air flow meter sub-assembly output due to existence of foreign matter
- Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume due to low quality fuel
Engine stalls or is difficult to start immediately after engine stalled, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm Deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve Result

- READ VALUE USING GTS (ISC LEARNING VALUE)
- According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display ISC Learning Value Result
Result Proceed to -5 to 10 Nm A Other than above B
Result:
B
See step 18
Result:
A
See step 5
- According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
- READ VALUE USING GTS (SHORT FT B1S1 AND LONG FT B1S1)
- According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display Short FT B1S1 Long FT B1S1 Result
Data List Result Proceed to Short FT B1S1 + Long FT B1S1 -20% or higher, or less than 20% A Other than above B HINT:
- "Total FT Bank 1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT Bank 1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT B1S1" and "Long FT B1S1".
- An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No. 1 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No. 2 (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No. 1 Bank 1, A/F Learn Value Mid No. 2 Bank 1 and A/F Learn Value High Bank 1. (For vehicles equipped with a V type engine, check that both banks have the same correction tendency. If the correction of either bank is -20% or less or +20% or more, the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) or air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) of that bank may be malfunctioning.)
- The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +20% or more):
- Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
- Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
- Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
- Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly or fuel suction plate sub-assembly)
- On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High (Port) Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value High Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
- On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Low (Port) Bank 1", "A/F Learn Value Idle Bank 1" or "A/F Learn Value Low Bank 1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
- If the air fuel ratio becomes lean only when the engine is running under a high load and at a high engine speed, clogging of the fuel filter is suspected.
- The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -20% or less):
- Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
- Purge VSV system

- As soon as the measurements are obtained, stop the Active Test.
HINT:
- At first, the GTS display will show each cylinder's engine speed measurement to be extremely high. After the engine has started, each cylinder's engine speed measurement will change to the actual engine speed.
- If the cylinder engine speed values (Engine Speed Cylinder #1 to #4) displayed in the Data List do not change from an extremely high value, return to the Active Test menu screen, change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to "Start" and crank the engine again within 1 second.
