DTC P3190 Poor Engine Power

DTC P3191 Engine does not Start

DTC P3193 Fuel Run Out

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition

From the HV ECU, the ECM receives data such as power output required for the engine (required output), estimated
torque produced by the engine (estimated torque), engine RPM of control target (target RPM), whether the engine is
in start mode or not. Then, based on the required output and target RPM, the ECM calculates a target torque that is
to be produced by the engine and compares it with the estimated torque. If the estimated torque is very low
compared with the target torque, or the engine start mode continues for the specific duration calculated by water
temperature, an abnormal condition is detected.

Typical Malfunction Thresholds

The ECM and HV control ECU are connected by a communication line called CAN. The ECM sends information on the
engine speed and other data to the HV control ECU while the HV control ECU sends the information such as a
requirement for the engine power to the ECM using the CAN communication line.

When the communication between the ECM and HV control ECU is normal and the following items becomes specific
condition, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.

 a. Engine speed

 b. Power switch

 c. Target torque

 d. Ratio of target torque against estimated torque

 e. Fuel level

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information
as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in
determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the
air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
