MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-491

STEP 11. Check the evaporative emission canister for 
vacuum leaks.
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the evaporative emission 

canister and plug the other nipples.

(2) Apply a pressure on the hand vacuum pump, and confirm 

that air is maintained.

(3) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump and remove the plugs.
Q: Is the evaporative emission canister in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 12 .
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission canister. Then go 

to Step 13 .

STEP 12. Using scan tool MB991958, check the 
evaporative emission system monitor test.

CAUTION

• During this test, the ECM automatically increases the 

engine speed to 1,600 r/min or greater. Check that the 
transaxle is set to "P" position.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Erase the DTCs using scan tool MB991958.
(3) Check that the fuel cap is securely closed (Tighten until 

three clicks are heard).

(4) Start the engine.
(5) Select "System Test."
(6) Select "Evap Leak Mon."
(7) During the test, keep the accelerator pedal at the idle 

position.

(8) Keep the engine speed and engine load within the specified 

range. When the monitor test starts, the "In Progress" item 
on scan tool MB991958 will change from "NO" to "YES".

(9) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. 
Q: Is "Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Failed and DTCs 

Set" displayed on scan tool MB991958?
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 

Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with 
WCM> 

P.42C-10

. Then go to Step 13 .

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Passed" is 
displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The evaporative 

emission system is working properly at this time. Go 
to Step 13   .

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Discontinued. Retest again from 
the first" is displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The 

EVAP monitor has been interrupted during the test. 
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
once, and repeat the monitoring from Step 12 .

STEP 13. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Confirm the repair by performing the appropriate drive cycle 

(Refer to Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-ll Drive Cycle − 

Pattern 6 

P.13A-11

).

(2) Read the DTC.
Q: Is DTC P0456 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC P0461: Fuel Level Sensor <FWD> or Fuel Level Sensor (main) <AWD> Circuit 
Range/performance

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The fuel level sensor converts the rest of the fuel 

to a voltage and seconds it to the combination 
meter.

• The combination meter sends the data regarding 

the rest of the fuel to the ECM.

• The ECM checks whether this data is within a 

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Detect malfunction if change of fuel level sensor 

output voltage is small when sum of fuel injection 
is large.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.

Check Condition, Judgement Criterion

• When the fuel consumption calculated from the 

operation time of the injector amounts to 20 liters 
(5.3 gal) <FWD> or 30 liters (7.9 gal) <AWD>, the 
diversity of the amount of fuel in tank calculated 
from the fuel level sensor is 2 liters (0.5 gal) or 
less.

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

• Combination meters assembly failed.

• Fuel level sensor failed.

• ECM failed.
