Why does the Toyota P1603 engine stall and shut down?
1 Answers
Toyota P1603 engine stalling and shutting down can be caused by engine stalling faults or transmission faults. The following are the related causes: Engine fault: The engine control module, also known as the engine control unit (in some vehicles, the engine control module and transmission control module are integrated into a powertrain control module), controls the operation of the entire engine. Its primary function is to control the optimal fuel injection amount and ignition timing. Another important role is to monitor the components of emission control. Transmission fault: A major cause of transmission faults is a dirty valve body. A dirty transmission valve body can degrade the quality and frictional characteristics of the transmission fluid. This increases friction and wear, and sludge can also form inside the transmission, leading to blockages in the valve body and pipelines. As a result, the proper regulation of hydraulic pressure is disrupted, causing transmission issues.
