HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA) OPERATES EVEN ON A DOWN SLOPE/HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA) DOES NOT OPERATE ON A SLOPE [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)]

7

Hill launch assist (HLA) operates even on a down slope

Hill launch assist (HLA) does not operate on a slope

POSSIBLE CAUSE

NOTE:

  • HLA operates on an up slope of about 3% or more when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse (R) position (MT).

  • HLA operates on an up slope of about 10% or more when selector lever position is in a forward gear (AT).

  • HLA operates for a maximum of 2 s after releasing the brake pedal.

  • DSC HU/CM detects a malfunction (Input/output device malfunction).

  • PCM and/or instrument cluster detect a malfunction.

  • SAS control module installation malfunction (If there is a malfunction resulting from SAS control module removal, HLA may not operate at desired inclination angle).

  • Tire malfunction (Differing air pressure on four wheels, use of tires with differing conditions of wear)

  • DSC HU/CM initial setting and DSC related parts sensor initialization have not been performed after replacing DSC HU/CM and SAS control module (If initial setting and initialization are not performed, HLA may not operate at desired inclination angle).

  • Center point of low-G sensor has deviated.

  • Input signal malfunction from ABS wheel-speed sensor

  • Input signal malfunction from PCM (Engine torque signal, engine speed signal, accelerator pedal position signal, manual gear position signal, and clutch pedal signal)

  • Input signal malfunction from instrument cluster (Parking brake signal)

  • Input signal malfunction from TCM (Selector lever position signal)

  • Communication error between DSC HU/CM and PCM

  • Communication error between DSC HU/CM and instrument cluster

  • Brake (foot brake/parking brake) drag

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

VERIFY DTC FOR RELATED MODULES
  • Retrieve the DSC HU/CM, PCM, TCM (AT) and instrument cluster DTC using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [DSC HU/CM].)

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)].)

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].)

    (See DTC INSPECTION [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

  • Are any DTCs present?

Yes

Go to the applicable DTC inspection.

(See DTC INSPECTION [DSC HU/CM].)

(See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)].)

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].)

(See DTC TABLE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

No

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY IF FALSE DETECTION OF INCLINATION ANGLE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING SAS CONTROL MODULE INSTALLATION
  • Inspect the SAS control module installation condition for the following:

    • Is the module installed with any twisting?

    • Is the module installed correctly?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair the SAS control module installation condition.

(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

3

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DSC RELATED PARTS SENSOR NOT PERFORMED
  • Verify if the malfunction is caused by the initialization procedure for DSC related parts sensor not being performed.

  • Has the initialization for the DSC related parts sensor been performed after replacing the DSC HU/CM and the SAS control module?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Perform the initialization procedure.

(See DSC RELATED PARTS SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

4

INSPECT FOR TIRE MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the tire pressure and condition.

  • Are tire pressures and conditions normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

If the pressure is incorrect, adjust the tire pressure to the specification.

If the tires are worn, replace the tires.

5

INSPECT RELATED MODULES FOR MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY FALSE SIGNAL
  • Access the following DSC HU/CM, PCM, TCM (AT) and instrument cluster PIDs using the M-MDS:

    (See DTC INSPECTION [DSC HU/CM].)

    (See PCM INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [TCM (SJ6A-EL)].)

    (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

    • DSC HU/CM
    • BRAKE_SW (Brake signal)

    • LON_ACCL_C (Low-G sensor (longitudinal G) calculated value signal)

    • LON_ACCL_R (Low-G sensor (longitudinal G) raw value signal)

    • BRK_F_P_C (Brake fluid pressure calculated value signal)

    • BRK_F_P_R (Brake fluid pressure raw value signal)

    • WSPD_LF (ABS wheel-speed sensor (LF) signal)

    • WSPD_RF (ABS wheel-speed sensor (RF) signal)

    • WSPD_LR (ABS wheel-speed sensor (LR) signal)

    • WSPD_RR (ABS wheel-speed sensor (RR) signal)

      PCM
    • RPM (Engine speed signal)

    • APP (APP sensor signal)

    • CPP (Clutch pedal signal: MT)

    • M_GEAR (Manual gear position signal: MT)

    • GEAR (Gear commanded signal: AT)

      TCM (AT)
    • TR (Transaxle range sensor signal)

      INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
    • P_BRAKE_SW (Parking brake signal)

  • Are all PID values normal?

Yes

Inspect the following:

  • Brake (foot brake/parking brake) drag

  • Engine output malfunction

Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.

No

Inspect the related parts and wiring harness.

Repair or replace any malfunctioning parts according to the inspection result.
