TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-373

STEP 15. 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 P0156 set?

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

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 96) from the output terminal (terminal 
No. 4) of the cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor 
(rear).

• Terminal No. 2 of the cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen 

sensor (rear) is grounded with PCM (terminal No. 
69).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The output signal of the cylinder 2, 3 heated oxy-

gen sensor (front) is compensated by the output 
signal of the cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor 
(rear).

• The PCM checks for an open circuit in the cylin-

der 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) output 

voltage stays low when air/fuel ratio is forced to 
be rich. The above procedure is repeated when 
oxygen sensor is inactive.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Judgement Criteria

• Making the air/fuel ratio 15 percent richer for 10 

seconds does not result in raising the cylinder 2, 
3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage 
beyond 0.15 volt.

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

• Cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) failed.

• Short circuit in cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sen-

sor (rear) output line.

• Connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MD998464: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 59: 
Cylinder 2, 3 Heated Oxygen Sensor (bank).

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) Start the engine and run at idle.

(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

59, Cylinder 2, 3 Heated Oxygen Sensor (rear).

• Warming up the engine. When the engine is revved, the 

output voltage should repeat 0 volt and 0.6 to 1.0 volt 
alternately.

(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.
