MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-613

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A 5-volt voltage is applied to the vehicle speed

sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from the
ECM (terminal No. 86). The vehicle speed sensor
generates a pulse signal when the output termi-
nal is opened and grounded.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The vehicle speed sensor converts the vehicle

speed into pulse signals and inputs them to the
ECM.

• The vehicle speed sensor outputs a pulse signal

while the vehicle is driven.

• The ECM checks whether the pulse signal is out-

put.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• If the vehicle speed sensor output does not

change while the vehicle is being driven in the
medium- to high-speed range, a malfunction is
determined to have occurred.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• 2 seconds or more have passed the starting

sequence was completed.

• Engine speed is at between 2,000 and 4,000

r/min.

• Volumetric efficiency is at between 48 and 65

percent.

Judgement Criteria

• Vehicle speed sensor output voltage has not

changed (no pulse signal is input) for 2 seconds.

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

• Vehicle speed sensor failed.

• Open or shorted vehicle speed sensor circuit, or

harness damage, or connector damage.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 24:
Vehicle Speed 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) Start the engine.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

24, Vehicle Speed Sensor.

• Check that the speedometer and MB991958 display

speed match when traveling at a vehicle speed of 40
km/h (25 mph).

(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 speed meter.
Q: Is the speed meter functioning?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 3. Using the oscilloscope, check the sensor output
voltage at ECM connector C-60.
(1) Do not disconnect the ECM connector C-60.
(2) Disconnect the combination meter connector and

auto-cruise control-ECU connector.

(3) Connect the oscilloscope probe to ECM terminal No. 86 by

backprobing.

(4) Start the engine.

(5) Check the waveform.

• The waveform should show a pattern similar to the illus-

tration while the vehicle is being moved.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the waveform normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check connector C-60 at ECM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 17.
