MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-409

STEP 11. 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-5

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0161 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 12.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

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

P.00-6

STEP 12. 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 − Procedure 6 −

DTC P0171: System too Lean (bank 1)

CAUTION

If DTC P0171 has been set, TCL related DTC
U1120 is also set. After P0171 has been diag-
nosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• If a malfunction occurs in the fuel system, the fuel

trim value becomes too large.

• The PCM checks whether the fuel trim value is

within a specified range.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Right bank air/fuel learning value (long time fuel trim)

and air/fuel feedback integral value (short time
fuel trim) are too lean.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other
monitor and Sensor)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Misfire monitor

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be

normal)

• Mass airflow sensor

• Engine coolant temperature sensor

• Intake air temperature sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

• Throttle position sensor

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check for intake system vacuum leak.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Repair it. Then go to Step 17.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 12:

(4) Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature: 80

°C

to 95

°C (176°F to 203°F).

• When idling, between 2.0 and 6.0 g/sec.

• When 2,500 r/min, between 8.0 and 16.0 g/sec.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 4.
