MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-425

STEP 8. Check the right bank injector.

(1) Remove the intake manifold.
(2) Disconnect the right bank injector connector, which 

deviates from the standard value at Step 6.

(3) Measure the resistance between injector side connector 

terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 10.5 

− 13.5 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 10.5 and 13.5 ohms 

[at 20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Repair harness wire between injector intermediate 

connector and right bank injector connector because 
of harness damage. Then go to Step 11.

NO :  Replace the injector. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 9. Check the fuel pressure.

Refer to On-vehicle Service 

− Fuel Pressure Test 

P.13B-1133

.

Q: Is the fuel pressure normal?

YES : Repair it. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  Go to Step 10.

STEP 10. Replace the right bank injector.

(1) Replace the right bank injector.
(2) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 2 − 

Fuel Trim Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0172 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 11. 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 2 − 

Fuel Trim Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0172 set?

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

DTC P0174: System too Lean (bank 2)

CAUTION

If DTC P0174 has been set, TCL related DTC 
U1120 is also set. After P0174 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
Left 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)

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

Check Conditions

• Engine coolant temperature is lower than approx-

imately 100

°C (212°F) when the engine is 

started.
