TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-245

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) output volt-

age stays low when air/fuel ratio is forced to be 
rich. The above procedure is repeated when oxy-
gen sensor is inactive.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-247

Check Conditions

• 3 minutes or more have passed since the starting 

sequence was completed.

• Right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) signal 

voltage has continued to be 0.15 volt or lower.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 76°C 

(169

°F).

• Engine speed is higher than 1,200 r/min.

• Volumetric efficiency is higher than 25 percent.

• Volume airflow sensor output frequency is 100 Hz 

or more.

• At least 20 seconds have passed since fuel shut 

off control was canceled.

• Monitoring time: 10 seconds.

Judgement Criteria

• Making the air/fuel ratio 15 percent for 10 sec-

onds richer does not result in raising the right 
bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage 
beyond 0.15 volt.

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

• Right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) failed.

• Short circuit in right bank heated oxygen sensor 

(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

• MB991911: Main Harness B

• MB991316: Test Harness Set

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 69: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 (right 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 

69, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 (right rear).

• Warm 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.00-7

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 

connector E-47 and connect test harness special tool, 
MB991316, to the connector on the right bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 80

°C (176°F) or 

higher.

(3) Perform a tracing for 5 minutes or more with the engine 

speed of 4,500 r/min.

(4) Connect a digital volt meter between terminal No. 2 (black 

clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the right 

bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.0 volt

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wire; 

incorrect connection can damage the oxygen sensor.

• Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of beyond 

12 volts is applied to the oxygen sensor heater.
NOTE: If the sufficiently high temperature (of approximate 
400

°

C or more) is not reached although the oxygen sensor 

is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low 
although the rich air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output volt-
age is low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No.2 
and the terminal No. 1 of the oxygen sensor with a (+) termi-
nal and (-) terminal of 12 volts power supply respectively, 
then check again.

Q: Is the voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear). 

Then go to Step 5.
