a. Item 5: Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
b. Item 6: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

c. Item 10: Mass Airflow Sensor

d. Item 36: Intake V.V.T. phase angle
e. Item 39: Exhaust V.V.T. phase angle

f. Item 76: A/C Switch

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

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.

STEP 5. Check the fuel pressure.
Refer to Fuel Pressure Test

P.13A-868

Q: Is the fuel pressure normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace it. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.

STEP 6. Check the ignition timing.
Refer to GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service

− Ignition Timing

Check

P.11A-13

Q: Is the ignition timing normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Check for installed conditions of the timing chain.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is
eliminated.

STEP 7. Measure the voltage at ECM connector B-10 by
using check harness special tool MB992110.
(1) Disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the check

harness special tool MB992110 between the separated
connectors.

(2) Start the engine and run at idle.

NOTE: Vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc.
remain lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position
but this is no problem for checks.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 60 and ground.

a. Engine: warming up, idling
b. Radiator fan: stopped

c. Headlight: OFF to ON

d. Stop light: OFF to ON
e. Rear defogger switch: OFF to ON

• Voltage increases

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the harness measured voltage within the specified

range?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Replace the generator. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 8. Check the spark plugs.
Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System

− On-vehicle Service −

Spark Plug Check And Cleaning

P.16-45

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Replace the spark plug. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check the ignition coil.
(1) Remove the intake manifold.
(2) Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System

− On-vehicle Service

− Ignition Coil Check And Cleaning

P.16-44

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Replace the ignition coil. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

NO : Go to Step 10.

STEP 10. Check the compression pressure.
Refer to GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service

− Compression

Pressure Check

P.11A-18

Q: Is the compression pressure normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom

is eliminated.

STEP 11. Check the positive crankcase ventilation system.
Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control System

− Positive

Crankcase Ventilation System

− Positive Crankcase Ventilation

System Check

P.17-74

Q: Is the positive crankcase ventilation system?

YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom

is eliminated.

STEP 12. Check the purge control system.
Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control System

− Evaporative

Emission Control System

− Purge Control System Check

(Purge Flow Check)

P.17-77

Q: Is the purge control system normal?

YES : Check the following items, and repair or replace the

defective items.

1. Vacuum leak.
2. Check if fuel is contaminated.
3. Check if the injectors are clogged.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is

eliminated.

NO : Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom

is eliminated.

Inspection procedure 8: Idle speed is high (improper idle speed)

COMMENT

• In such cases as the above, the cause is proba-

bly that the intake air volume during idle is too
great.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most
likely causes for this case:)

• Malfunction of the engine coolant temperature

sensor signal.

• Malfunction of the accelerator pedal position sen-

sor (main) signal.

• Malfunction of the accelerator pedal position sen-

sor (sub) signal.

• Malfunction of the A/C switch signal.

• Malfunction of the power steering pressure switch

signal.

• Malfunction of the evaporative emission control

system.

• Malfunction of the ECM.

DIAGNOSIS

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable
