MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-141

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 21: 
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

21, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

• The engine coolant temperature and temperature 

shown with the scan tool should approximately match.

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

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

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

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-104 at the engine 
coolant temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 3. Check for short circuit to ground between engine 
coolant temperature sensor connector B-104 (terminal No. 
1) and PCM connector B-22 (terminal No. 93).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor 

connector B-104.

(2) Remove the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(3) With the temperature sensing portion of engine coolant 

temperature sensor immersed in hot water, check 
resistance.

Standard value:

14 

− 17 kΩ [at −20°C (−4°F)]

5.1 

− 6.5 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.1 

− 2.7 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

0.9 

− 1.3 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.48 

− 0.68 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.26 

− 0.36 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

(4) Apply 3M

 AAD part number 8731 or equivalent on the 

screw section of the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(5) Install the engine coolant temperature sensor, and tighten 

to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 30 

± 9 N⋅m (22 ± 7 ft-lb)

Q: Is the measured resistance at the standard value?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Then 

go to Step 6.

STEP 6. 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.13A-5

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0117 set?

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