Fail-Safe Chart [09/2014 - ]

If any of the following DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily or stops fuel injection.

DTC Code	Component	Fail-Safe Operation	Fail-Safe Deactivation Condition
P0010 P0016 P0017 P0018 P0019 P0020 P1023 P1360 P1361 P1362 P1363 P2614	Camshaft timing control motor	Power to camshaft timing control motor is cut. Valve timing of bank that is operating normally is fixed at maximum retard angle.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0011 P0021	VVT system	Idling up (misfire prevention), or power to camshaft timing control motor is cut Valve timing of bank that is operating normally is fixed at maximum retard angle	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0012 P0022	VVT system	Power to camshaft timing control motor is cut Valve timing of bank that is operating normally is fixed at maximum retard angle	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0015 P0025	Exhaust camshaft oil control valve	Idling up (control of combustion worsening) Stopping fuel-cut control	Pass condition detected
P0031 P0032 P0051 P0052 P101D P103D	Air fuel ratio sensor heater	The ECM turns off the air fuel ratio sensor heater.	Engine switch off
P0037 P0038 P0057 P0058 P102D P105D	Heated oxygen sensor heater	The ECM turns off the heated oxygen sensor heater.	Engine switch off
P0087 P0088	Fuel pump (for high pressure side)	Stop the fuel pump (for high pressure side). Limit the engine speed to 2000 rpm or less.	Pass condition detected
P0102 P0103	Mass air flow meter sub-assembly	The ECM calculates fuel injection according to the engine speed and throttle valve position.	Pass condition detected
P0112 P0113	Intake air temperature sensor	The ECM estimates the intake air temperature to be 20°C (68°F).	Pass condition detected
P0115 P0117 P0118	Engine coolant temperature sensor	The ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature to be 80°C (176°F).	Pass condition detected
P0120 P0121 P0122 P0123 P0220 P0222 P0223 P0604 P0606 P060A P060B P060D P060E P0657 P1607 P2102 P2103 P2111 P2112 P2118 P2119 P2135	Electronic throttle control system	The ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and the throttle valve is returned to a 6° throttle position by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal angle to allow the vehicle to continue at minimal speed*1.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0192 P0193	Fuel pressure sensor	Stop the fuel pump (for high pressure side). Limit the engine speed to 2000 rpm or less.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0201 P0202 P0203 P0204 P0205 P0206 P0207 P0208	Injector driver (EDU)	Stop fuel injection for an abnormal cylinder and related other cylinders. Limit the engine speed to 3000 rpm or less.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0300 P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304 P0305 P0306 P0307 P0308 *2	Fuel injector assembly Electronic throttle control system	When a catalyst-damaging misfire occurs (MIL blinking), the following fail-safe operation is performed for catalyst overheat malfunction prevention. Under a low load and at a low engine speed: - Fuel cut is performed on the malfunctioning cylinder. Under a high load and at a high engine speed: - Throttle valve opening angle control is performed. - Fuel cut is performed on all cylinders or the malfunctioning cylinder.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P0327 P0328 P032C P032D P0332 P0333 P033C P033D	Knock control sensor	The ECM sets the ignition timing to maximum retard.	Engine switch off
P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354 P0355 P0356 P0357 P0358	Ignition coil assembly	The ECM cuts the fuel injection.	Pass condition detected
P0504	Stop light switch assembly	The accelerator pedal opening angle is fixed when there is an accelerator pedal malfunction or history of a malfunction.	Pass condition detected
P062D P062E	Injector driver (EDU)	INJ relay shut off.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P1235 P1236	Fuel pump (for high pressure side) (spill control valve)	Stop the fuel pump (for high pressure side).	Pass condition detected
P1276 P1277 P1278 P1279 P127A P127B P127C P127D	Fuel injector assembly (for port injection)	Limit the engine speed to 2000 rpm or less. Fuel cut of malfunction cylinder.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P2120 P2121 P2122 P2123 P2125 P2127 P2128 P2138	Accelerator pedal position sensor	The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor circuits: Main and Sub. If either circuit malfunctions, the ECM limits the engine output. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off
P2237 P2238 P2239 P2240 P2241 P2242 P2252 P2253 P2255 P2256	Air fuel ratio sensor	Air fuel ratio feedback control is stopped. Current to the air fuel ratio sensor heater is cut.	Pass condition detected and then engine switch turned off

HINT:

*1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.

*2: Misfire-related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
