Check

electronic

throttle body for

damage

Yes

Next step

15

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Check if

voltage on the following pins of ECU is normal:

if it is a battery voltage around 12V on 12#, 14#,

15# pins; if the voltage between 51#, 53#, 3#,

61#, 80# pins and the wire is zero.

plugs

Yes

Next step

16

Check if ignition advance angle is normal.

No

other

systems

Yes

Next step

17

Check if cylinder compression pressure of

engine is normal, if low, add a little engine oil

into each cylinder and re-measure if the cylinder

pressure is normal.

No

Troubleshooting

Yes

Repair or replace

18

If air cleaner or airflow sensor is choked.

No

Next step

Yes

Replace ECU

19

Check if the coolant temperature sensor is

working correctly.

No

Repair or replace

Note: Note if theft-proof system has started up. After theft-proof system has started up,
when starting the engine, the staring motor can run normally, but the engine can not
start; therefore, please note if this system can work normally.

Yes

Remove the failure

displayed

1

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Use a failure

diagnostic tester to check if any failure

information record exists.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

2

Use a multimeter to check if the coolant

temperature sensor is normal. (A 2.8KΩ electric

resistance can also be connected in series between

39# and 17# pins of ECU to start the engine in

stead of the coolant temperature sensor. If the

engine can start, it indicates off normal of coolant

temperature sensor.)

No

Replace the sensor

Yes

Next step

3

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Check if voltage

on the following pins of ECU is normal: if it is a

battery voltage around 12V on 12#, 14#, 15# pins;

if the voltage between 51#, 53#, 3#, 61#, 80# pins

and the wire is zero.

No

Check wires and

plugs

Yes

Next step

4

Check the air cleaner and look if it is open.

No

Replace

Yes

Next step

5

After starting successfully, check if air intake

consumption of the engine at idle speed is around

300Kg/h (remember to check if cylinder pressure

is normal).

No

Eliminate

the

leakage failure of

air intake system

Yes

Check

the

electronic throttle

6

Step on the throttle slightly and observe if it is

easy to be started easily.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

7

When engine coolant is at low temperature, pull

out electronic throttle body joint on harness and

observe if engine revolution will rise.

No

Check the electric

throttle body

Yes

Next step

8

Connect fuel manometer valve. Let 86# pin of fuel

pump relay directly ground. Turn on ignition

switch to make fuel pump relay and fuel pump

work, and then check if fuel pressure is at around

400kPa.

No

12

Yes

11

9

Use a special joint to directly provide a 12V

electricity and ground wire from battery to injector

and check if the injector works normally.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

10

Clean out the fuel injector and look if it can work

correctly.

No

Replace

fuel

injector

11

Check if fuel is deteroprated or moisture.

Yes

Replace fuel

No

17

Yes

Next step

12

Check if the fuel pressure value is below 300 kPa.

No

16

Yes

Next step

13

Close the fuel manometer valve. Re-engage the

ignition switch to let the fuel pump run for a

period of time, and then check if fuel pressure can

be built up.

No

15

Yes

Check fuel pressure

regulator and fuel

pump

14

Open the valve of fuel gauge and clamp the oil

return pipe by oil return baffle so that the oil can

not return. Check if the oil pressure occurs

immediately.

No

Repair and replace

fuel injector and oil

pipe

Yes

Repair or replace

oil intake pipe

15

Check if the oil intake pipe is leaky or jammed.

No

Replace oil pump

Yes

Repair or replace

oil return pipe

16

Check if the oil return pipe is bended or jammed.

No

Replace

fuel

pressure regulator

or fuel pump

Yes

Next step

17

Check if the pressure of cylinder is normal.

No

Troubleshooting

Yes

Repair

18

Check if the engine air intake system is leaky.

No

Next step

Yes

Repair or replace

19

If air cleaner or airflow sensor is choked.

No

Replace ECU

Note: The cold starting problem relates to more failure points, among which water
temperature sensor is comparatively important, because it is the major parameter for
determination of injection pulse-width when starting the engine. In case of a water
temperature sensor failure or it generates a false signal, the system can not judge the
temperature and starting difficulty may occur.

between ECU and harness, and then check if the

voltage between 17# and 42# pins of ECU,

between 39# and 17# pins of ECU (signal output

coolant temperature sensor) as well as 64#, 65#,

66#, 67# pins of ECU (for control of DC motor) is
