Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual: Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance (P050B00)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / 2gr-fks (engine Control) / Sfi System / Cold Start Ignition Timing Performance (P050B00)

MONITOR 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 less than 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.

HINT:

Idle speed control learning is performed when the engine is warmed up and has been idling for 5 minutes.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

    Click here

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Start the engine and warm it up for 5 minutes or more.
  7. Stop the engine.
  8. Leave the vehicle outside overnight.
  9. Turn the engine switch on (IG) [A].
  10. Turn the Techstream on.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temperature.
  12. Check that "Coolant Temperature" in the Data List is within the range of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F).
  13. Start the engine and warm it up until the coolant temperature is the same as the coolant temperature in the freeze frame data.
  14. Idle the engine for 1 minute or more [B].
  15. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
  16. 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.
  17. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  18. Input the DTC: P050B00.
  19. 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

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, idle the engine for 3 minutes, let the engine cool down, and then perform steps [A] through [B] again.
    • Idle the engine for 3 minutes, let the engine cool down, and then perform steps [A] through [C]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
