MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-342

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 53: 
Fuel Tank Temperature 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) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

53, Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

• Approximately the same as the ambient air temperature 

when the engine is cooled.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : 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 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness connector D-20 at the fuel tank 
temperature sensor and harness connector B-11 at the 
ECM for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 

Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 3. Check the fuel tank temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the fuel tank temperature sensor connector 

D-20.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 3 

of the fuel tank temperature sensor.

Standard value: 0.5 

− 12.0 kΩ

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.5 and 12.0 k

Ω?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the fuel tank temperature sensor. Then go to 

Step 7.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-343

STEP 4. Check for open circuit and harness damage 
between the fuel temperature sensor connector D-20 and 
the ECM connector B-11.
(1) Disconnect the fuel temperature sensor connector D-20 

and the ECM connector B-11.

(2) Measure the continuity between the fuel temperature 

sensor connector D-20 (terminal No. 3) and the ECM 
connector B-11 (terminal No. 115).

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Check harness connector C-129 at Intermediate 

connector for damage, and repair as required. Refer 
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. If the Intermediate connector C-129 is good 

condition, repair harness wire between the 
temperature sensor connector D-20 (terminal No.3) 
and the ECM connector B-11 (terminal No.115) 
because of open circuit. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit and harness damage 
between at the fuel tank temperature sensor connector 
D-20 (terminal No. 1) and ground.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-20 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 1 and 

ground.

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair harness wire between the fuel tank 

temperature sensor connector D-20 (terminal No. 1) 
and ground because of open circuit or harness 
damage. Then go to Step 7.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-344

STEP 6. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 22 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0183 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Codes 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 7.

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 

P.00-15

.

STEP 7. 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 22 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0183 set?

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