DTC Description
DTC DETECTION LOGIC
| DTC | CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) | DTC detection condition | ||
| P10C9 | 00 | Internal control module fuel injector (Internal control module fuel injector) | Diagnosis condition | - |
| Signal (terminal) | - | |||
| Threshold |

| Diagnosis delay time | - | |||
POSSIBLE CAUSE
- Harness or connectors
- Fuel injector circuit is open
- Battery power supply
- ECM (Direct injector driver unit)
- Fuel injector
FAIL-SAFE
Engine Control System
| Fail safe mode | Vehicle behavior | |
|---|---|---|
| Traveling control mode | Accelerator angle variation control | ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.
NOTE:
|
| Device fix mode |
|
|
| Combustion control mode | Stratified charge combustion control at starting | No stratified charge combustion at starting (cold start). |
Stop/Start System
When a DTC is detected, the stop/start indicator lamp blinks slowly and the stop/start system operation is prohibited. When ECM detects error while operating the stop/start system, ECM restarts the engine.
DTC Confirmation Procedure
- PRECONDITIONING

GO TO 2.
- PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
- Start engine and let it idle for at least 20 seconds.
- Check 1st trip DTC.
