DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Calculation of engine roughness
  • Faulty spark plugs, high-tension lead, or Ignition coil
  • Incorrect valve timing
  • Uneven compression Air leakage
  • Improper Fuel pressure or dirty fuel.
  • Blocked/Leaking injectors
  • Leakage between cooling system and cylinder
Enable Conditions
