DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the 

previous monitoring.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 20°C 

(68

°F).

• While the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater is 

on.

• Battery positive voltage is at between 11 and 16.5 

volts.

Judgment Criteria

• Heater current of the heated oxygen sensor 

(front) heater has continued to be lower than 0.16 
ampere or higher than 7.5 ampere for 4 seconds.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Open or shorted heated oxygen sensor (front) 

heater circuit, harness damage, or connector 
damage.

• Open circuit in heated oxygen sensor (front) 

heater.

• ECM failed. <M/T>

• PCM failed. <A/T>

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-266

STEP 1. Check connector B-17 at the heated oxygen 
sensor (front) for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 2. Check the heated oxygen sensor (front).
(1) Disconnect heated oxygen sensor (front) connector B-17 

and connect test harness special tool, MD998464, to the 
connector on the heated oxygen (front) sensor side.

(2) Measure the resistance between heated oxygen sensor 

connector terminal No. 1 (red clip) and terminal No. 3 (blue 
clip).

Standard value: 4.5 

− 8.0 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 4.5 and 8.0 ohms?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the heated oxygen sensor (front). Then go to 

Step 12.

STEP 3. Measure the power supply voltage at heated 
oxygen sensor (front) harness side connector B-17.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-17 and measure at the harness 

side.

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

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) 

present?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check connector A-18X at the MFI relay for 
damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector 

A-18X (terminal No. 4) and heated oxygen sensor 
(front) connector B-17 (terminal No. 1) because of 
open circuit or short circuit to ground. Then go to Step 
12.

NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.
