MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-121

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 13: 
Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

13, Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

• The intake air temperature and temperature shown with 

the scan tool should approximately match.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check connector B-14 at the intake air 
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the intake air temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector 

B-14.

(2) Measure the resistance between intake air temperature 

sensor side connector terminal No. 5 and No. 6.

• There should be continuity. (0.30 − 20 kΩ)

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.30 and 20 k

Ω?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the volume airflow sensor. Then go to Step 

11.

STEP 4. Measure the sensor supply voltage at intake air 
temperature sensor harness side connector B-14.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-14 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 6 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at ECM 
connector C-60 <M/T> or PCM connector C-54 <A/T> by 
backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the ECM connector C-60 <M/T> or PCM 

connector C-54 <A/T>.

(2) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector 

B-14.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
