DTC Troubleshooting: P0A14
DTC P0A14: Front Engine Mount Actuator Circuit Malfunction
NOTE:
Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshots, and review the general troubleshooting information.
When testing the engine mount actuator, be sure to use a Digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) capable of reading 0.01 ohms change of resistance.
Be sure to zero the meter before checking the engine mount actuator.
If the vehicle has been driven, allow the engine mount actuator to cool down for about 2 hours before testing.

Is DTC P0A14 indicated?

     
YES
     
     
     
Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the engine mount control unit and the engine mount actuator.?
2.
Shorted wire check (FR ACM SOL+, FR ACM SOL- lines to power):

?1.
Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

?2.
Disconnect the following connectors.

?3.
Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

?4.
Measure the voltage between test points and body ground individually.
Test condition
ON mode
Front engine mount actuator 2P connector: disconnected
Engine mount control unit 16P connector: disconnected

Is there battery voltage measured at one or both testing points?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair a short to power in the FR ACM SOL+ and/or FR ACM SOL- wire between the engine mount control unit and the engine mount actuator, then do the repair verification.
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 3.

Shorted wire check (FR ACM SOL+ line to FR ACM SOL- line):

Shorted wire check (FR ACM SOL+ line to FR ACM SOL- line)
?1.
Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

?2.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
OFF mode
Front engine mount actuator 2P connector: disconnected
Engine mount control unit 16P connector: disconnected
Test circuit
FR ACM SOL+, FR ACM SOL-
Test point 1
Engine mount control unit 16P connector No. 3 (GRN)
Test point 2
Engine mount control unit 16P connector No. 5 (PNK)


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair a short in the FR ACM SOL+ wire to FR ACM SOL- wire between engine mount control unit 16P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 5, then do the repair verification.
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 4.
4.
Front engine mount actuator check:

Front engine mount actuator check
?1.
At the engine mount actuator side, measure the resistance test points between 1 and 2.
NOTE: Zero-out the meter before testing to adjust the meter to the test leads.

Test condition
OFF mode
Front engine mount actuator 2P connector: disconnected
Engine mount control unit 16P connector: disconnected
Test circuit
FR ACM SOL+, FR ACM SOL-
Test point 1
Front engine mount actuator 2P connector No. 1
Test point 2
Front engine mount actuator 2P connector No. 2


Is there about 1.37?1.51 ? (68 °F/20 °C)?

     
YES
     
     
     
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the engine mount control unit and the engine mount actuator. If it is OK, replace the engine mount control unit, then do the repair verification.
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair verification:

?1.
Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

?2.
Reconnect all connectors.

?3.
Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

?4.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?5.
Start the engine, and let it idle 20 seconds.

?6.
Check for pending or confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
