SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

13Ad-17

STEP 2. Check the continuity at combination meter 
harness side connector D-04.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-04 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Disconnect the PCM connector D-132.
(3) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 38 and 

ground.

• Should be open loop.

Q: Is the continuity normal?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then confirm that the malfunction 

symptom is eliminated.

NO :  Check harness connector E-111 at the intermediate 

connector for damage, and repair or replace as 
required. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 
Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connectors E-111 

is in good condition, repair a short circuit to ground 
between combination meter connector D-04 (terminal 
No. 38) and PCM connector D-132 (terminal No. 7). 
Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is 
eliminated.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

13Ad-18

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Cranks, Won't Start

.

Cranks, Won't Start Circuit

• Refer to Ignition circuit 

P.13Ad-99

.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Refer to Ignition circuit 

P.13Ad-99

. 

.

COMMENT

• In cases such as the above, the cause is proba-

bly no spark, fuel delivery, or fuel quality prob-
lems. In addition, foreign materials (water, 
kerosene, etc.) may be mixed with the fuel.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this case: ) 

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of the fuel pump system.

• Malfunction of the injector system.

• Malfunction of the PCM. 

• Contaminated fuel.

• Malfunction of the immobilizer system.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

• MB991348: Test Harness

STEP 1. Check the battery positive voltage.
(1) Measure the battery positive voltage during cranking.

• The voltage should be 8 volts or more.

Q: Is the voltage normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Check the battery. Refer to GROUP 54A, Battery 

− 

Battery Check 

P.54A-4

. Then confirm that the 

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 2. Check the timing belt for breaks.
Q: Is the timing belt good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace timing belt. Then confirm that the malfunction 

symptom is eliminated.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC set?

YES : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13Ab-2

.

NO :  Go to Step 4.
