TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-493

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, check actuator test 
item 15: Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid.

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 actuator test mode for item 

15, Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

• An operation sound should be heard and vibration 

should be felt when the evaporative emission ventilation 
solenoid is operated.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid 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 harness connector A-33X at the MFI relay 
connector 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 evaporative emission ventilation 
solenoid.
(1) Disconnect the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

connector D-116.

(2) Measure the resistance between evaporative emission 

ventilation solenoid side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 
2.

Standard value: 17 

− 21 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 17 and 21 ohms [at 

20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace it. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 4. Measure the power supply voltage at the 
evaporative emission ventilation solenoid connector 
D-116.
(1) Disconnect the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

connector D-116 and measure at the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit and short circuit to ground 
and harness damage between the evaporative emission 
ventilation solenoid connector D-116 and the ECM 
connector B-11.
(1) Disconnect the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

connector D-116 and the ECM connector B-11.

(2) Measure the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

connector D-116 (terminal No. 1) and the ECM connector 
B-11 (terminal No. 117).

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

(3) Check for the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

connector D-116 (terminal No. 1) and ground.

• Not continuity.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 7.

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 P0446 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

.

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 P0446 set?

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