Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0AB6: Rear Engine Mount Actuator Circuit Malfunction






General Description
The engine mount control system controls the engine mounts electronically. The system consists of the engine mount actuators, the engine mount control unit, and the powertrain control module (PCM). The engine mount control unit uses the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor outputs (received from the PCM) to estimate engine vibration. The engine mount control unit then sends signals to the engine mount actuators to command the engine mounts to push and pull on the engine to counteract the engine vibration. The engine mount control unit monitors the rear engine mount actuators, and when an abnormal condition continues for a set time, the engine mount control unit detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Malfunction Threshold
The current value during one cycle of the rear engine mount actuator, which outputs in 1 TDC duration as one cycle, is 7.5 or more as a maximum current or 5.3 A or more as a minimum current, or the engine mounts cycle during start up and continue to cycle for at least 20 seconds.

Driving Pattern
Start the engine, and let it idle for at least 20 seconds.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
