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

• Intake camshaft position sensor failed.

• Open or shorted intake camshaft position sensor 

circuit, or harness damage, or connector dam-
age.

• Intake camshaft failed.

• ECM failed.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-385

STEP 1. Using the oscilloscope, check the intake camshaft 
position sensor.
(1) Disconnect the intake camshaft position sensor connector 

B-123, and connect test harness special tool (MB991709) 
between the separated connectors. (All terminals should be 
connected.)

(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to the intake camshaft 

position sensor side connector terminal No. 3.
NOTE: When measuring with the ECM side connector, dis-
connect all ECM connectors. Connect the check harness 
special tool (MB992110) between the separated connec-
tors. Then connect the oscilloscope probe to the check har-
ness connector terminal No. 14.

(3) Start the engine and run at idle.

(4) Check the waveform.

• The waveform should show a pattern similar to the illus-

tration.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the waveform normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-123 at intake 
camshaft position sensor and harness connector B-10 at 
ECM for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 3. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 23 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0340 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles 

with KOS> 

P.42B-15

 or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis 

− ID 

Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with 
WCM> 

P.42C-10

. Then go to Step 19.

NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-123 at intake 
camshaft position sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at intake 
camshaft position sensor connector B-123.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-123 and measure at the 

harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 3 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.9 and 5.1 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.9 and 5.1 volts?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 19.
