TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-106

OPERATION

• Power is supplied to the injector (terminal No. 1) 

from the engine control relay (terminal No. 4) via 
the injector resistor.

• The engine-ECU (terminal No. 1) makes the 

power transistor in the unit be in "ON" position, 
and that makes currents go on the injector (termi-
nal No. 2).

FUNCTION

• The engine-ECU controls the power supply inter-

val of the injector.

• The fuel injection amount of the injector depends 

on the power supply interval.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

• The engine speed is 50 − 1,000 r/min.

• The throttle position sensor output voltage is 1.15 

V or less.

• Injector not in forced drive (actuator test) mode.

Judgment Criterion

• No surge voltage of the injector detected for 2 

seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed No. 1 injector

• Open/short circuit in injector circuit or loose con-

nector contact

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-II/III actuator test

• Item No. 01: No. 1 injector

OK: Idling state varies.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 

00 

− How to Use 

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-5

).

NO : 

Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-22 No. 1 injector 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3 .

NO : 

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform resistance measurement at B-22 
No. 1 injector connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at injector 

side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

OK: 2 

− 3 Ω

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4 .

NO : 

Replace the No. 1 injector.
