MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-551

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

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) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P061A set?

YES : Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-49

. 

NO :  Go to Step 2. 

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following items in the data list. Refer to Data List 

Reference Table 

P.13A-818

.

a. Item 10: Mass Airflow Sensor.
b. Item 11: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main).

c. Item 12: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are they operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-08 at throttle actuator 
control motor and harness connector B-10 at ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 4. Check the throttle actuator control motor.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-08.
(2) Measure the resistance between throttle actuator control 

motor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 0.3 

− 80 ohms [at 20°C (68°C)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.3 and 80 ohms [at 

20

°C (68°C)?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Replace the throttle body assembly. Then go Step 9.

STEP 5. Check for harness damage between throttle 
actuator control motor connector B-08 (terminal No. 1) and 
ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 15).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 6. Check for harness damage between throttle 
actuator control motor connector B-08 (terminal No. 2) and 
ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 16).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 7. Check for intake system vacuum leak.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Repair it. Then go to Step 9. 
NO :  Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern 17 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P061A 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 9.

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

STEP 9. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern 17 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P061A set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Compares the actual engine speed calculated from 
the crankshaft position sensor signal cycle with the 
estimated engine speed calculated from the number 
of the crankshaft position sensor signal pulses after a 
lapse of the specified time.
