MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-435

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The ECM (terminal No. 114) supplies a 5 volts 

reference signal to the fuel tank differential pres-
sure sensor (terminal No. 3). The fuel tank differ-
ential pressure sensor (terminal No. 2) is 
grounded through the ECM (terminal No. 113).

• The fuel tank differential pressure sensor (termi-

nal No. 1) returns a voltage signal to the ECM 
(terminal No. 112) that is proportional to the pres-
sure in the fuel tank.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The ECM monitors the fuel tank differential pres-

sure sensor output voltage.

• The ECM determines whether the fuel tank differ-

ential pressure sensor signal voltage is within 
normal operating parameters.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Compare evaporative purge solenoid status with 

fuel tank differential pressure sensor output volt-
age.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart (Monitor Sequence)

.

Check Conditions

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

• Engine speed is 1,594 r/min or higher.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 70 per-

cent.

Judgement Criterion

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid is 

off, the fuel differential pressure sensor output 
voltage remains 1.0 volt or less for 10 seconds.

Check Conditions 

• Intake air temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 

45

°C (113°F).

• Engine speed is 1,594 r/min or higher.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 70 per-

cent.

Judgement Criterion

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

valve is fully operational (100 percent ratio), the 
fuel differential pressure sensor output voltage 
remains 4.0 volts or more for 10 seconds.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-438

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 52: 
Fuel Tank Differential Pressure Sensor.

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) Plug the disconnected end of hose D.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(4) Remove the fuel cap.
(5) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

52, Fuel Tank Differential Pressure Sensor.

• Output voltage should be between 1,500 to 3,500 mV.

(6) Connect the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

(Miller number 6872A) to the fuel tank filler tube by using 
fuel tank adapter (MLR-8382) and pressurize the fuel tank.

• The fuel tank pressure reading should increase.

(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Then 

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

(8) Remove the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

(Miller number 6872A) and the fuel tank adapter 
(MLR-8382), and reinstall the fuel cap.

(9) Connect hose D to the evaporative emission canister.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
