• |
The catalyst temperature is less than 500°C (932°F). |
• |
The engine coolant temperature is warmer than -10°C (14°F). |
• |
The barometric pressure is greater than 60 kPa. |
• |
The engine speed is between 250-1900 RPM. |
• |
The engine is running and a cold start has been detected. |
• |
DTC P050D runs once per cold start. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
• |
DTC P050D is a Type B DTC. |
• |
The ECM disables dual pulse mode and energizes the fuel injector as it would for a warm engine. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
Diagnostic Aids |
• |
This DTC may be set with a misfire DTC, however the existence of this DTC is a higher priority and indicates the condition to diagnose is related to fuel and/or injectors, not the ignition/spark system. |
• |
A restricted fuel injector may cause this DTC to set. |
• |
High resistance in the injector circuits can activate a diagnostic trouble code related to a misfire without activating a diagnostic trouble code related to an injector. Test for high resistance in the injector circuits for the affected cylinders if you suspect a problem. |
• |
A drop in system voltage during cold start may set this DTC. |

Circuit/System Testing |
Note | ||
Circuit/System Testing requires cold start. Do not start vehicle prior to connecting scan tool and preparing to evaluate the condition during engine crank. |
1. |
Start the engine and observe the Cylinder 1-4 Current Misfire Counters during first 500 engine cycles. The Cylinder 1-4 Current Misfire Counters should not be incrementing. |
2. |
If the misfire counters are incrementing on one or more cylinders, verify that the following conditions do not exist: |
• |
Fuel pressure that is too low or too high-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis. |
• |
Contaminated fuel-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis. |
3. |
If all conditions test normal, replace fuel injectors as indicated by high misfire counts. |
Repair Instructions |
Repair Verification |
Note | ||
Repair Verification requires cold start. |
1. |
Ignition ON, engine OFF, clear the DTCs with a scan tool. |
2. |
Start the engine. |
3. |
Verify the DTC does not reset. |
