DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991709: Test Harness Set

• MB991923: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Using the oscilloscope, check the camshaft 
position sensor.
(1) Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector B-106, 

and connect test harness special tool (MB991709) between 
the separated connectors (All terminals should be 
connected).

(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to the camshaft position 

sensor side connector terminal No. 2.
NOTE: When measuring with the PCM side connector, dis-
connect the all PCM connectors and connect check har-
ness special tool (MB991923) between the separated 
connectors. then connector the osilloscope probe to the 
check harness connector terminal No. 104.

(3) Start the engine and run at idle.

(4) Check the waveform.

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

tration.

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

YES : Go to Step 2..
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-106 at camshaft 
position sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 20.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-631

STEP 3. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13B-6

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0340 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 20.
NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-14

.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-106 at camshaft 
position sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness 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 20.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at camshaft 
position sensor connector B-106.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-106 and measure at the 

harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.9 and 5.1 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.9 and 5.1 volts?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Go to Step 6.
