Troubleshooting item

Knocking/Pinging-acceleration/cruise

Description
• Abnormal combustion occurs under the condition such as the temperature in the combustion chamber is too high resulting in abnormal noise.
• Knocking sound occurs from the engine compartment during acceleration.
Possible cause
• Poor fuel quality
― Fuel RON is not specified
― Excessive cleaning agents added in fuel
• Poor connection of KS, wiring harness
• The following information for calculating ignition timing is incorrect:
― KS signal
― ECT sensor No.1 signal
― ECT sensor No.2 signal
― IAT sensor No.2 (integrated in MAP sensor) signal
― MAF sensor signal
• Air suction in intake-air system
― MAP sensor signal
• Combustion temperature is high
― Cooling system malfunction
― Carbon accumulation
― Use of non-genuine spark plug
Warning
• The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
― Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
― Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” to prevent the fuel from spraying. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)
• Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.
• If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.
― Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Fuel line spills and leakage can cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment. Always refer to the “Quick Release Connector Removal/Installation (fuel system)” before performing the fuel hose installation, and execute the “Fuel Leakage Inspection” after installation. (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))].)
Caution
• Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1
VERIFY PCM DTC
• Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Are any DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
2
REPLACE FUEL
• Drain the remaining fuel in the fuel tank and add the specified fuel.
• Leave idling for approx. 15 min to refill the hose with fuel.
• Does the symptom disappear?
Yes
Symptom troubleshooting completed.
(If customer has used fuel additive, give them advice not to use it)
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS OVERHEATING
Warning
• While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
• When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later.
• Access the ECT PID using the M-MDS. (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION.)
• Is the ECT PID value less than 116 °C {241 °F} during driving?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
The cause of this concern could be from the cooling system overheating.
• Perform the symptom troubleshooting “COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING”. (See COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING [SKYACTIV-G (US)].)
4
VERIFY SPARK PLUG CONDITION
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the spark plug and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT INTAKE AIR SYSTEM FOR AIR SUCTION
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT MAP SENSOR
• Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS: (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION.)
― MAP
― BARO
• Does the difference between PIDs BARO and MAP nearly match the intake manifold vacuum value?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the MAP sensor/IAT sensor No.2 and perform the repair completion verification.
7
INSPECT MAF SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION
• Is the part normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
8
INSPECT IAT SENSOR No.2 FOR MALFUNCTION
• Is the part normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
9
INSPECT ECT SENSOR No.1 FOR MALFUNCTION
• Is the part normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
10
INSPECT ECT SENSOR No.2 FOR MALFUNCTION
• Is the part normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
11
INSPECT KS FOR MALFUNCTION
• Is the part normal?
Yes
Remove the accumulated matter in the cylinder head using the following procedure:
• Carbon remover
• Overhauling
Go to repair completion verification.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
Repair completion verification 1
VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED
• Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
• Has the malfunction symptom been eliminated?
Yes
Complete the symptom troubleshooting. (Explain contents of repair to customer)
No
Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
• If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
― If the malfunction recurs, go to the next step.
Repair completion verification 2
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY NOT PERFORMING PCM REPROGRAMMING
• Verify repair information and verify that there is a new calibration in the PCM.
• Is there a new calibration in the PCM?
Yes
Perform the PCM reprogramming and verify if the malfunction symptom was corrected.
No
Replace the PCM.
