MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-292

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal 

No. 4) to the right bank heated oxygen sensor 

(rear) heater.

• The PCM (terminal No. 138) controls continuity to 

the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

heater by turning the power transistor in the PCM 

"ON" and "OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The PCM checks whether the heater current is 

within a specified range when the heater is ener-

gized.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Right bank heated oxygen sensor heater (rear) current 

is out of specified range when engine coolant tem-

perature is over 20

°C (68°F).

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the 

previous monitoring.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 20°C 

(68

°F).

• While the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

heater is on.

• Battery positive voltage is at between 11 and 16.5 

volts.

Judgment Criteria

• The right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

heater current has continued to be lower than 
0.16 ampere or higher than 5.0 ampere for 4 sec-
onds.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are: )

• Open or shorted right bank heated oxygen sen-

sor (rear) heater circuit, or harness damage.

• Open circuit in right bank heated oxygen sensor 

(rear) heater.

• Connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991316: Test Harness

• MB991923: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-08 at the right bank 
heated oxygen sensor (rear) for damage.

Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 2. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear).

(1) Disconnect right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

connector B-02 and connect test harness special tool, 
MB991316, to the connector on the right bank heated 
oxygen (rear) sensor side.

(2) Measure the resistance between heated oxygen sensor 

connector terminal No. 1 (red clip) and terminal No. 3 (blue 
clip).

Standard value: 11 

− 18 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 11 and 18 ohms [at 

20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear). 

Then go to Step 12.
