INSPECTION PROCEDURE 19: Surge.

.

COMMENT

• Defective ignition system, abnormal air/fuel ratio, 

etc. are suspected.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this case: )

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of air/fuel ratio control system.

• Malfunction of the EGR vacuum regulator sole-

noid valve system.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Q: Is DTC set?

YES : Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-24

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
items 01, 02, 03, 04: Injector.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check following items in the actuator test. Refer to, Actuator 

Test Reference Table 

P.13A-903

.

a. Item 01, 02, 03, 04: Injector.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Q: Is the actuator operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Refer to, DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204

STEP 3. Check the ignition timing.
Refer to GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service 

− Ignition Timing 

Check 

P.11A-7

.

Q: Is the ignition timing normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Check that the crankshaft position sensor and timing 

belt cover are in the correct position. Then confirm 
that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
