Technical Description 

Water trapped in the fuel filter has been detected.

DTC Set Condition

DTC Detection Condition:

− Starter switch ON.

− Battery voltage is in the range of 10 V to 16 V.

Judgment Criteria:

Fuel filter water level sensor switch is ON.

Reset Condition

Check that water has not accumulated in the fuel filter.

Indication, Warning Or System Control Regulation When The DTC Is Set

− MIL: OFF

− SVS light: OFF

Pre – Inspection Work

Check that the battery voltage is in the normal range.

After – Inspection Work

− Clear all past DTCs.

− Check that no DTC is stored after test drive.

Possible Causes

Water has been trapped in the fuel filter.

Inspection procedure troubleshooting steps

Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1) Inspect the fuel filter.

Check if water has accumulated in the fuel filter.

Were any failures found?

Yes – Drain water out of the fuel filter.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

No – Go to Step 2.

Step 2) Inspect the fuel filter water level sensor connector.

Check the connection of the water level sensor connector (Looseness and poor contact).

 

Were any failures found?

Yes – Connect securely, repair if needed.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

No – Go to Step 3.

 

Step 3) Inspect the fuel filter water level sensor unit.

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
  2. Disconnect the fuel filter water level sensor connector.
  3. Connect a battery between the 12 V terminal in the fuel filter water level sensor and the GND terminal.
  4. Use the electrical tester to measure the voltage between the fuel filter water level sensor SIGNAL terminal and GND terminal.

range)

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes – Go to Step 4. No – Replace the fuel filter water level sensor.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected

after test drive.

Step 4) Inspect the fuel filter water level sensor power supply.

  1. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the voltage between the terminals of the fuel filter water level sensor vehicle-side connector.

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes – Go to Step 5. No – Inspect the fuel filter water level sensor power circuit.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

Step 5) Inspect for short-circuit in wire harness of the fuel filter water level sensor.

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
  2. Connect the signal check harness. (Do not connect the harness to the ECU).
  3. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the engine ECU (signal check harness) WIF (V42) terminal and ground.

Yes – Go to Step 7. No – Repair or replace the harness.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

Step 7) Check the DTC detected (Engine ECU) [Diagnostic Tool].

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
  2. Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool.
  3. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
  4. Select [Engine] and check if P2269 has been detected.

Has DTC P2269 been detected?

Yes – Replace the engine ECU.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

No – Procedure completed.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.
