MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-716

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-03 at right bank 
heated oxygen sensor (front), harness connector B-02 at 
right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear), harness connector 
B-14 at left bank heated oxygen sensor (front), harness 
connector B-13 at left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 
and harness connector B-10 at ECM for damage.
Q: Are the harness connectors in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to 

Step 19.

STEP 2. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor 
(front).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

connector B-03 and connect test harness special tool 
MB991316 to the connector on the right bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature 

reaches 80

°C (176°F) or higher.

(3) Rev the engine for 5 minutes or more with the engine speed 

of 2,000 r/min.

(4) Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 2 

(black clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the right 

bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.0 V

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; 

incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen 
sensor.

• Be careful the heater can be damaged if a voltage 

beyond 8 volts is applied to the heated oxygen sensor 
heater.
NOTE: If the temperature of sensing area does not reach 
the high temperature [of approximately 400

°

C (752

°

F) or 

more] even though the heated oxygen sensor is normal, the 
output voltage would be possibly low in spite of the rich air/ 
fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output voltage is low, use a 
jumper wire to connect the terminal No. 1 (red clip) and the 
terminal No. 3 (blue clip) of the heated oxygen sensor with 
the positive terminal and the negative terminal of 8 volts 
power supply respectively, then check again.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front). 

Then go to Step 19.
