MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-553

STEP 22. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern (Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-ll Drive Cycle − Procedure 1 − 

Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor 

P.13A-5

).

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is diagnostic trouble code P0452 set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  This diagnosis is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A 5-volt voltage is supplied to the power terminal 

of the fuel tank differential pressure sensor (ter-
minal 3) from the ECM (terminal 81) <M/T> or 
PCM (terminal 46) <A/T>. The ground terminal 
(terminal 2) is grounded with the ECM (terminal 
92) <M/T> or PCM (terminal 57) <A/T>.

• A voltage proportional to the pressure in the fuel 

tank is sent from the output terminal of the fuel 
tank differential pressure sensor (terminal 1) to 
the ECM (terminal 61) <M/T> or PCM (terminal 
92) <A/T>.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• To judge if the fuel tank differential pressure sen-

sor is defective, the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> 
monitors the fuel tank differential pressure sensor 
output voltage.

• Based on the test conditions and judgment crite-

ria, the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> judges if the 
fuel tank differential pressure sensor output volt-
age is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Compare purge solenoid status with fuel tank dif-

ferential pressure sensor output voltage.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous.

 Sensor (The sensors below are determined to be 

normal)

• Volume airflow sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

• Intake air temperature sensor

• Engine coolant temperature sensor

.

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Test Conditions: For Test to Run

• Intake air temperature is at between 5°C (41°F) 

and 45

°C (113°F) or more.

• Engine speed is 1,600 r/min or more.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 80 per-

cent.

Judgment Criteria

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

valve is activating at 100 percent ratio, the fuel 
differential pressure sensor output voltage 
remains 4.0 volts or more for ten seconds.

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

• Fuel tank differential pressure sensor failed.

• Open fuel tank differential pressure sensor cir-

cuit, or loose connector.

• ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> failed.
