MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-543

Point B:

Height of coil back electromotive force

Examples of Abnormal Wave Patterns
Example 1

Cause of problem
Malfunction of motor. (Motor is not operating.)

Wave pattern characteristics
Induced electromotive force from the motor turning does not 
appear.

Example 2

Cause of problem
Open circuit in the line between the idle air control motor 
and the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T>.

Wave pattern characteristics
Current is not supplied to the motor coil on the open circuit 
side. (Voltage does not drop to 0 volt.) Furthermore, the 
induced electromotive force wave pattern at the normal side 
is slightly different from the normal wave pattern.

CONTRAST WITH STANDARD 
WAVE PATTERN

PROBABLE CAUSE

Induced electromotive force does not 
appear or is extremely small

Malfunction of motor

CONTRAST WITH STANDARD

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-544

Measurement Method
1. Disconnect the connector, and connect test harness special 

tool, (MB991348), in between. (All terminals should be 
connected.)

2. Connect the oscilloscope probe to ignition coil connector 

terminal 3.

Alternate method (Test harness not available)

1. Connect the oscilloscope probe to ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/

T> terminal 11.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-545

Examples of Abnormal Wave Patterns
Example 1 (Wave pattern during engine cranking)

Cause of problem
Open-circuit in ignition primary circuit

Wave pattern characteristics
Top-right part of the build-up section cannot be seen, and 
voltage value is approximately 2 volts too low.

Example 2 (Wave pattern during engine cranking)

Cause of problem
Malfunction in ignition power transister

Wave pattern characteristics
Power voltage results when the ignition power transistor is 
ON.
