MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-665

Step 17    .

STEP 17. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern (Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-ll Drive Cycle − Procedure 1 − 

Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor 

P.13A-5

).

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0451 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting from Step 2.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The PCM (terminal 21) supplies a 5-volt refer-

ence signal to the fuel tank differential pressure 
sensor (terminal 3). The fuel tank differential 
pressure sensor (terminal 2) is grounded through 
the PCM (terminal 22).

• The fuel tank differential pressure sensor (termi-

nal 1) returns a voltage signal to the PCM (termi-
nal 23) that is proportional to the pressure in the 
fuel tank.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The PCM monitors the fuel tank differential pres-

sure sensor output voltage.

• The PCM determines whether the fuel tank differ-

ential pressure sensor signal voltage is within 
normal operating parameters.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Compare purge solenoid status with fuel tank dif-

ferential pressure sensor output voltage.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other 
Monitor and Sensor)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored 

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Evaporative emission purge solenoid monitor

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid monitor

 Sensor (The sensors below are determined to be 

normal)

• Mass airflow sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

• Intake air temperature sensor

• Engine coolant temperature sensor

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions 

• Intake air temperature is greater than 5°C (41°F).

• Engine speed is 1,600 r/min or greater.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 70 per-

cent.

Judgment Criteria

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid is 

off, the fuel differential pressure sensor output 
voltage remains 1.0 volt or less for ten seconds.

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

• Malfunction of the fuel tank differential pressure 

sensor.

• A damaged harness in the fuel tank differential 

pressure sensor circuit.

• Malfunction of the PCM.
