MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-481

STEP 11. Using the oscilloscope, check the No. 1 cylinder 
injector.

(1) Disconnect the intermediate connector B-32 and connect 

the test harness MB991658 between the separated 
connectors.

(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to injector intermediate 

connector terminal to No.5.
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 connect an oscilloscope probe to terminal 
No.153.

(3) Start the engine and run at idle.

(4) Measure the waveform.

• The waveform should show a normal pattern similar to 

the illustration.

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

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

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

P.00-6

.

NO :  Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 12.

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 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0201 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

If DTC P0202 has been set, TCL related DTC 
U1120 is also set. After P0202 has been diag-
nosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The injector power is supplied from the MFI relay 

(terminal No. 4).

• The PCM controls the injector by turning the 

power transistor in the PCM "ON" and "OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The amount of fuel injected by the injector is con-

trolled by the amount of continuity time the coil is 
grounded by the PCM.

• A surge voltage is generated when the injectors 

are driven and the current flowing to the injector 
coil is shut off.

• The PCM checks this surge voltage.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Off-surge does not occur after injector is operated.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous
