Toyota Venza: Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance (P050B)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / 1ar-fe Engine Control / Sfi System / Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance (P050B)

DESCRIPTION

This monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). The DTC is stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).

The DTC is designed to monitor the ignition timing at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of below 50°C (122°F), the ECM checks the ignition timing during engine idling. If the ignition timing advances beyond the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).

NOTICE:

The idle speed control learned values are cleared by performing a learned value reset. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored.

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temp.
Check that "Coolant Temp" in the Data List are within the range of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F).
Start the engine and warm it up until the coolant temperature is the same as the coolant temperature in the freeze frame data.
Idle the engine for 1 minute or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
Read the Pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P050B.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

HINT:

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, idle the engine for 3 minutes, let the engine cool down, and then perform steps [A] through [B].

If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page ).
HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0102 (See page ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

DTC P050B may be output when the engine has the symptoms listed below. If necessary, check the trouble areas listed below.

Symptom	Factor	Trouble Area
Low idle speed when engine is cold (immediately after engine start)	Excessive engine friction	Engine oil deterioration Drive belt tension A/C compressor Generator
Rough idle when engine is cold (immediately after engine start)	Abnormal combustion	Fuel quality

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
