MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-597

DTC P0431: Warm up catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (cylinder 2, 3)

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The signal from the rear heated oxygen sensor 

differs from the front heated oxygen sensor. That 
is because the catalytic converter purifies 
exhaust gas. When the catalytic converter has 
deteriorated, the signal from the front heated oxy-
gen sensor becomes similar to the rear heated 
oxygen sensor.

• The PCM compares the output of the front and 

rear heated oxygen sensor signals.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Front and rear heated oxygen sensor rich/lean 

switching frequencies are nearly equal.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• Engine speed is lower than 3,000 r/min.

• Accelerator pedal is open.

• Mass airflow is between 14 and 45 g/sec.

• More than 3 seconds have elapsed after the 

above-mentioned three conditions have been 
met.

• Intake air temperature is higher than −10°C 

(14

°F).

• Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (22.4 

in.Hg).

• Under the closed loop air/fuel ratio control.

• Vehicle speed is 1.5 km/h (1.0 mph) or more.

• The PCM monitors for this condition for 5 cycles 

of 10 seconds each during the drive cycle.

• Short-term fuel trim is higher than −25 percent 

and lower than +25 percent.

• The cumulative mass airflow is higher than 1,638 

g.

Judgment Criteria

• The cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

signal frequency divided by cylinder 2, 3 heated 
oxygen sensor (front) signal frequency = 0.7 or 
more. <Federal>

or

• The cylinder 2, 3 heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

signal frequency divided by cylinder 2, 3 heated 
oxygen sensor (front) signal frequency = 0.6 or 
more. <California>

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-599

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check for exhaust leak.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Repair it. Then go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

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

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 : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Refer to DTC P0156 

− Cylinder 2, 3 Heated Oxygen 

Sensor Circuit (Sensor 2)
