Startability Malfunction (P1604)
This DTC is stored when the engine does not start even though the STA signal is input or when the engine takes a long time to start, and when the engine speed is low or the engine stalls just after the engine starts.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
It is necessary to check if the vehicle ran out of fuel before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when there is engine starting trouble due to running out of fuel.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- In contrast to normal malfunction diagnosis for components, circuits and systems, DTC P1604 is used to determine the malfunctioning area from the problem symptoms and freeze frame data when the user mentions problems such as starting difficulty.
As the DTC can be stored as a result of certain user actions, even if the DTC is output, if the customer makes no mention of problems, clear the DTC without performing any troubleshooting and return the vehicle to the customer.
- If any other DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
- When the Data List item "Immobiliser Fuel Cut" is ON, the engine cannot be started.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
- When confirming the freeze frame data, be sure to check all 5 sets of freeze frame data (See page
). - When confirming the freeze frame data, if there are multiple items related to the cause of the malfunction, perform troubleshooting for all related items.
- Try to start the vehicle under the conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the malfunction occurred. Confirm the data at this time and compare it with the freeze frame data.
- If the malfunction does not reoccur, carefully check the vehicle conditions from when the malfunction occurred using freeze frame data.
- When performing inspections, jiggle the relevant wire harnesses and connectors in an attempt to reproduce malfunctions that do not always occur.
- If the same inspection or replacement procedure appears 2 times when performing an inspection procedure, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure the second time.
1. Malfunction Recurrence and Inspection Areas
(a) Freeze frame data exists, but the malfunction (starting difficulty) has not reoccurred and the malfunction conditions are unknown.
(1) The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 0 rpm (the engine does not crank).
HINT:
One of the following problems may be present: battery depletion, excess engine friction, a starter malfunction or a crankshaft position sensor malfunction.
- If the battery voltage is less than 6 V during cranking, there is a high probability that engine friction is abnormal.
- If the battery voltage drops to 5 V or less when starting the engine, the battery may be malfunctioning.
- If the battery voltage fluctuates while cranking the engine, it can be concluded that cranking is being performed. When the engine speed is 0 rpm, the crankshaft position sensor and/or an ECM may be malfunctioning.

(2) All engine speeds recorded in the freeze frame data are between 60 and 250 rpm (the engine cranks but there is no combustion).
HINT:
If the engine speed is between 60 and 250 rpm (no initial combustion), there may be a wiring problem or a complete failure of an ignition or fuel system part.
- Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and the engine may not be able to be started.

(3) The engine speed recorded in the freeze frame data is 250 rpm or higher (the initial combustion and starter turn off timing is too late).
HINT:
If the engine speed is 250 rpm or higher (combustion occurs but the initial combustion and starter turnoff timing is too late), the fuel injection volume is often incorrect (too low or too high) and determining the cause of the malfunction is often difficult.
- Due to an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction, the fuel injection volume is extremely high or low and engine starting trouble may occur.
- If Long FT #1 is incorrect, there may be a fuel supply problem due to the injectors or fuel pump being clogged, etc.
- If the engine cranking speed is too high, compression loss may have occurred due to carbon interfering with the valve operation.

(b) When the malfunction (starting difficulty) can be reproduced, or malfunction conditions are known, perform the following inspections ("Problem symptoms" and "Systems to inspect")
(1) Problem symptoms
- The engine does not crank.
HINT:
The starter is normal if a noise that indicates the starter pinion gear is extending is heard. The battery may be fully depleted or there may be excess engine friction.
- The engine cranking speed is abnormal.
HINT:
If the engine cranking speed is too high (for example, 300 rpm or higher with no combustion), compression loss may have occurred because carbon interfered with valve operation, etc.
- There is no initial combustion.
HINT:
If there is no initial combustion, there is probably a wiring problem or an ignition or fuel system part malfunction.
- The engine stalls after starter turn off.
HINT:
If the engine stalls after starter turn off, the air fuel ratio may be incorrect or the VVT may have a problem returning.
- The initial combustion and starter turn off occur late.
HINT:
If the initial combustion and starter turn off occur late, the fuel injection volume is probably incorrect (too low or too high).
HINT:
Causes of fuel system malfunctions according to conditions present at the time of the malfunction.
- When 2 to 3 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Fuel pressure loss due to the pressure regulator failing to maintain the fuel pressure.
- When 15 to 120 minutes have elapsed after stopping the engine: Problem with injector fuel seal.
- When a long time has elapsed after stopping the engine: Pressure regulator is stuck open.
(2) Systems to inspect.
- Intake system
- Ignition system
- Fuel system
