MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-756

STEP 6. Check the positive crankcase ventilation system.
Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control 

− Positive Crankcase 

Ventilation System 

− Positive Crankcase Ventilation System 

Check 

P.17-74

.

Q: Is the positive crankcase ventilation system?

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

defective items.

a. Vacuum leak.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is 

eliminated.

NO :  Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom 

is eliminated.

Inspection procedure 13: The engine stalls decelerating

.

COMMENT

• Abnormal air/fuel ratio or other similar defects 

due to insufficient intake air volume and defective 
EGR system is suspected to be the causes.

.

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

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Dirtiness around throttle valve.

• Malfunction of the EGR system.

• Malfunction of the ECM.

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. Check if the EGR valve sounds during 
initialization.
Q: Is the initialization sound heard in the EGR valve?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control 

− Exhaust Gas 

Recirculation (EGR) System 

− EGR Valve (Stepper 

Motor) Check 

P.17-81

STEP 2. 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 any DTC set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-49

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Inspection of throttle body (throttle valve area) for 
dirtiness.
Q: Is the throttle valve area dirty?

YES : Refer to Throttle Body (Throttle Valve Area) Cleaning 

P.13A-865

.

NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. 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 11: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main).
b. Item 12: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).

STEP 5. Check the spark plugs.
Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System 

− On-vehicle Service − 

Spark Plug Check 

P.16-45

.

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Replace the spark plug. Then confirm that the 

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

NO :  Check the ignition coil (Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition 

System 

− On-vehicle Service − Ignition Coil Check 

P.16-44

). Then confirm that the malfunction symptom 

is eliminated.

Inspection procedure 14: Hesitation, sag, stumble, poor acceleration or surge

.

COMMENT

• Defective ignition system, abnormal air/fuel ratio, 

poor compression pressure, etc. are suspected.

.

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

• Malfunction of the fuel pump system.

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Poor compression.

• Malfunction of the EGR system.

• Improper operation of the PCV valve.

• Vacuum leak.

• Clogged air cleaner.

• Clogged exhaust system.

• Malfunction of the CVT system.

• Malfunction of the ECM.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

NOTE: To protect the CVT, the TCM outputs, into the ECM, the 
request signal to reduce the engine torque according to the 
operation condition. Based on the signal, the ECM closes the 
throttle valve, retards the ignition or carries out fuel cut. At that 
time, the engine output seems to temporarily reduce, but there 
is no malfunction.

STEP 1. Check if the EGR valve sounds during 
initialization.
Q: Is the initialization sound heard in the EGR valve?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control 

− Exhaust Gas 

Recirculation (EGR) System 

− EGR Valve (Stepper 

Motor) Check
