MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-649

STEP 4. 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 23 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P1506 set?

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

DTC P1507: Idle Control Sytem RPM Higher Than Expected at Low Temperature

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The amount of air taken in during idling is regu-

lated by the opening and closing of the throttle 
valve.

• The ECM checks the difference between the 

actual engine speed and the target engine speed.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Difference between actual and target idle speed is 
over the specified value.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• Under the closed loop idle speed control.

• Engine coolant temperature is between 7°C 

(45

°F) and 41°C (105°F).

• Battery positive voltage is higher than 10 volts.

• Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (22.4 

in.Hg).

• Intake air temperature is higher than −10°C 

(14

°F).

• More than 3 seconds have elapsed from the pre-

vious monitoring.

• Target air flow rate is 0 g/sec (0 L/sec).

Judgement Criterion

• Actual idle speed has continued to be higher than 

the target idle speed by 200 r/min (300 r/min*) or 
more for 10 seconds.

*: Specs in parentheses are applicable if the max-

imum air temperature during the previous 
operation was more than 45

°C (113°F).

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-651

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) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P0507 set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13B-50

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the intake system vacuum leak.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Repair it. Then go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Replace the throttle body assembly.
(1) Replace the throttle body assembly.
(2) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 23 

P.13B-11

.

(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P1507 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 4.

NO :  The inspection is complete.
