MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-573

Judgement Criteria (change in the angular accel-

eration of the crankshaft is used for misfire 
detection).

• Misfire has occurred more frequently than 

allowed during the last 200 revolutions [when the 
catalyst temperature is higher than 950

°C 

(1,742

°F)].

or

• Misfire has occurred in 20 or more of the last 

1,000 revolutions (corresponding to 1.5 times the 
limit of emission standard).

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − 

Procedure 6 

 Other Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

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

• Ignition system related part(s) failed.

• Low compression pressure.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the No.6 cylinder ignition coil spark.
(1) Remove the No.6 cylinder ignition coil.

(2) Remove the No.6 cylinder spark plug and connect to the 

No.6 cylinder ignition coil.

(3) Ground the spark plug side electrode securely.

• When the engine is cranked, the spark plug should 

spark.

Q: Did it spark?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the No.6 cylinder spark plugs.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium plug. Clean-
ing of the iridium plug may result in damage to the iridium 
and platinum tips. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be 
removed, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning within 
20 seconds to protect the electrode. Do not use a wire 
brush.
Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.

Standard value: 0.7 

 0.8 mm (0.028  0.031 inch)

Limit: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)

Q: Is the plug gap at the standard value?

YES : Refer to, INSPECTION PROCEDURE 31 

− Ignition 

Circuit System 

P.13B-1079

.

NO :  Replace the No.6 cylinder spark plug. Then go to Step 

5.

STEP 3. Check the compression.

Refer to GROUP 11A, On-Vehicle Service 

− Compression 

Pressure Check 

P.11A-16

.

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. 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 P0306 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 5.
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 5. 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 P0306 set?

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

DTC P0325: Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction

CAUTION

If DTC P0325 has been set, TCL related DTC 
U1120 is also set. After P0325 has been diag-
nosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-576

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The knock sensor sends a signal voltage to the 

PCM (terminal No. 59).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The knock sensor converts the vibration of the 

cylinder block into a voltage and outputs it. If 
there is a malfunction of the knock sensor, the 
voltage output will not change.

• The PCM checks whether the voltage output 

changes.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Engine speed is higher than 2,500 r/min.

• Volumetric efficiency is 40 percent or higher.

Judgment Criteria

• Knock sensor output voltage (knock sensor peak 

voltage in each 1/3 turn of the crankshaft) has not 
changed more than 0.06 volt in the last consecu-
tive 200 periods.

.

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

• Knock sensor failed.

• Open or shorted knock sensor circuit, or harness 

damage, or connector damage.

• PCM failed.
