Troubleshooting item

Hill launch assist (HLA) operates even on a downhill

Hill launch assist (HLA) does not operate on a slope
Possible cause
Note
• HLA operates on an up slope of about 3% or more when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse (R) position. (MTX)
• HLA operates on an up slope of about 6% or more when selector lever position is in a forward gear. (ATX)
• HLA operates on a down slope of about 3% or more when shift lever is in a reverse (R) position. (MTX)
• HLA operates on a down slope of about 6% or more when selector lever is in a R position. (ATX)
• HLA operates for a maximum of 2 s after releasing brake pedal.
• DSC HU/CM detects a malfunction (Input/output device malfunction).
• PCM and/or instrument cluster detect a malfunction.
• SAS control module installation malfunction (If there is a malfunction resulting from SAS control module removal, HLA may not operate at desired inclination angle.)
• Tire malfunction (Differing air pressure on four wheels, use of tires with differing conditions of wear)
• DSC HU/CM initial setting and low-G sensor initialization have not been performed after replacing DSC HU/CM and SAS control module. (If initial setting and initialization are not performed, HLA may not operate at desired inclination angle.)
• Center point of low-G sensor has deviated.
• Input signal malfunction from ABS wheel-speed sensor
• Input signal malfunction from PCM (Engine torque signal, engine speed signal, parking brake signal, accelerator pedal position signal, reverse gear signal, and clutch pedal signal)
• Input signal malfunction from TCM (Selector lever position signal)
• Communication error between DSC HU/CM and PCM
• Communication error between DSC HU/CM and body control module (BCM)
• Communication error between body control module (BCM) and instrument cluster
• Brake (foot brake/parking brake) drag

Diagnostic procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action
1
VERIFY DTC FOR RELATED MODULES
• Retrieve the DSC HU/CM, PCM, TCM (ATX) and instrument cluster DTC using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [DSC HU/CM (US)].)
(See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-G (US))].)
(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [TCM (ET6A-EL) (US)].)
(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [TCM (EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL) (US)].)
(See DTC TABLE [BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) (US)].)
No
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY IF FALSE DETECTION OF INCLINATION ANGLE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING SAS CONTROL MODULE INSTALLATION
• Inspect the SAS control module installation condition for the following:
― Is the module installed with any twisting?
― Is the module installed correctly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the SAS control module installation condition, and perform the repair completion verification.
(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM – MEXICO SPEC.].)
(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM – US/CANADA SPEC.].)
3
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR LOW-G SENSOR NOT PERFORMED
• Verify if malfunction caused by initialization procedure for low-G sensor not performed.
• Has the initialization for the low-G sensor been performed after replacing the DSC HU/CM and the SAS control module?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Perform the initialization procedure, and perform the repair completion verification.
(See DSC RELATED PARTS SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE [(US)].)
4
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY TIRE MALFUNCTION PERFORMED
• Inspect the tire pressure and condition.
• Are tire pressure and condition normal? (See WHEEL AND TIRE SPECIFICATION [(US)].)
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
If the pressure is incorrect, adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
(See TIRE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT [(US)].)
If the tires are worn, replace the tires.
Perform the repair completion verification.
5
INSPECT RELATED MODULES FOR MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY FALSE SIGNAL
• Access the following DSC HU/CM, PCM and TCM PIDs using the M-MDS: (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION.)
DSC HU/CM
― BRK_PEDAL_SW (Brake signal)
― ACC_LON_C (Low-G sensor (longitudinal G) calculated value signal)
― ACC_LON (Low-G sensor (longitudinal G) raw value signal)
― BRK_FLD_PRES (Brake fluid pressure raw value signal)
― WSPD_SEN_L/F (ABS wheel-speed sensor (LF) signal)
― WSPD_SEN_R/F (ABS wheel-speed sensor (RF) signal)
― WSPD_SEN_L/R (ABS wheel-speed sensor (LR) signal)
― WSPD_SEN_R/R (ABS wheel-speed sensor (RR) signal)
PCM
― ENG_RPM (Engine speed signal)
― APP1 (APP sensor signal)
― CLTCH_PEDAL_POS (Clutch pedal signal: MTX)
― MANUAL_GEAR_POS (Manual gear position signal: MTX)
TCM (ATX)
― TR (Transaxle range sensor signal)
• Are all PID values normal?
Yes
Inspect the followings:
• Brake (foot brake/parking brake) drag
• Engine output malfunction
Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.
Perform the repair completion verification.
No
Inspect the related parts and wiring harness.
Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.
Perform the repair completion verification.
Repair completion verification
VERIFY THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR
• Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
• Has the malfunction symptom been eliminated?
Yes
Complete the symptom troubleshooting.
Explain to the customer what has been repaired.
No
Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(US)].)
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
