vious monitoring.

• Target air flow rate is 29 g/sec (24 L/sec) or more.

Judgement Criterion

• The actual idle speed is more than 100 r/min 

lower than the target idle speed for 10 seconds.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-518

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools

• MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.
• MB991827: USB Cable
• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

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) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958, read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P0506 set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-48

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the throttle body. (throttle valve area)
Q: Is the throttle valve area dirty?

YES : Perform cleaning. Refer to Throttle body cleaning 

P.13A-865

. Then go to Step 4.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Replace the throttle body assembly.
(1) Replace the throttle body assembly
(2) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 18 

P.13A-9

. 

(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0506 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code 
Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles 
with KOS> 

P.42B-11

 or GROUP 42C, ID Codes 

Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> 

P.42C-9

. Then go to Step 4.

NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 4. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 18 

P.13A-9

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0506 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

DTC P0507: Idle Control Sytem RPM Higher Than Expected

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The amount of air taken in during idling is regu-

lated by the opening and closing of the throttle 
valve.

• The ECM checks the difference between the 

actual engine speed and the target engine speed.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Difference between actual and target idle speed is 

over the specified value.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.
