DTC Descriptor
DTC P1400
- Cold Start Emission Reduction Control System
Circuit/System Description
The catalytic converter must be warmed to efficiently reduce the emissions. The cold start strategy is to reduce the amount of time it takes to warm
the catalytic converter. During a cold start, the engine idle speed is elevated and spark timing is retarded to allow the catalyst to warm quickly. This
diagnostic monitors the following to build an exhaust energy model:
* Engine speed
* Spark advance
* Throttle position
* Engine coolant temperature
* Engine run time
* Park/neutral position
* Vehicle speed
The actual model is then compared to the expected exhaust energy model.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is running, and a cold start has been detected.
* Vehicle speed is less than 3 km/h (2 mph).
* The engine is at idle with no input from the accelerator pedal.
* The calculated catalyst temperature is less than 100掳C (212掳F).
* Engine coolant is greater than 10掳C (50掳F) and less than 56掳C (132掳F).

This DTC runs for 12 s within the first 17 s of start-up, or until the calculated catalyst temperature is greater than 900掳C (1,652掳F). This diagnostic
runs once per trip when a cold start has been determined.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The actual exhaust energy model does not match the expected exhaust energy model.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P1400 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P1400 is a Type A DTC.
