TROUBLESHOOTING MULTIPOINT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) 13A-153 PROBABLE CAUSES • Failed spark plug • Failed ignition coil • Open/short circuit or harness damage in ignition system circuit or loose connector contact • Failed engine-ECU DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE STEP 1. Visual check of ignition spark. • Remove the spark plug and install it to the ignition coil. • Connect the ignition coil connector. • Disconnect all injector connectors. • At the engine start, check each spark plug pro- duces a spark. Q: Is the check result normal? YES : Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 − How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points − How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions NO : Go to Step 2. STEP 2. Check spark plug. • Check spark plug (Refer to GROUP 16 − Ignition System − On-vehicle Service − Spark Plug Check and Cleaning ). Q: Is the check result normal? YES : Go to Step 3. NO : Replace the spark plug. STEP 3. Check ignition coil itself. • Ignition coil connector check. • Check ignition coil itself (Refer to GROUP 16 − Ignition System − On-vehicle Service − Ignition Coil Check ). Q: Is the check result normal? YES : Go to Step 4. NO : Repair or replace the connector, or replace STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at ignition • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side. • Ignition switch: "ON" • Voltage between terminal power supply line and body earth. OK: System voltage Q: Are the check results normal? YES : Go to Step 6. NO : Go to Step 5. STEP 5. Connector check: engine control relay Q: Is the check result normal? YES : Check intermediate connector, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is • Check power supply line for open/short circuit. NO : Repair or replace the connector. STEP 6. Perform resistance measurement at • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side. • Resistance between terminal earth line and body earth. OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less) Q: Are the check results normal? YES : Go to Step 7. NO : Check and repair harness between ignition coil connector terminal earth line and body • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage. STEP 7. Check harness between ignition coil a. Check and repair harness between ignition coil connector terminal and engine-ECU connector b. Check and repair harness between ignition coil connector terminal and engine-ECU connector c. Check and repair harness between ignition coil connector terminal and engine-ECU connector d. Check and repair harness between ignition coil connector terminal and engine-ECU connector • Check signal line for open/short circuit and dam- age. Q: Are the check results normal? YES : Go to Step 8. NO : Repair or replace the connector, or repair |
