MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-730

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose CAN bus 
line.

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) Diagnose CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus line. Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

− CAN Bus Diagnostics Table 

P.54C-17

. 

Then go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Read the TCM-DTC.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CVT-DTC set?

YES : Refer to GROUP 23A, Diagnosis 

− Diagnosis Code 

Chart 

P.23A-29

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check that the other ECU performing CAN communication 

with TCM sets DTC No. U0101. Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN 
Communication-related DTC (U-code) table 

P.54C-220

.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0101 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the MFI-DTC has been deleted, read the MFI-DTC 

again.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0101 set?

YES : Replace the TCM. Then go to Step 6.
NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent 

of CAN bus line between ECM and TCM. Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the MFI-DTC has been deleted, read the MFI-DTC 

again.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0101 set?

YES : Replace the ECM (Refer to, Removal and Installation 

P.13B-903

). Then go to Step 6.

NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent 

of CAN bus line between ECM and TCM. Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the MFI-DTC has been deleted, read the MFI-DTC 

again.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC U0101 set?

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

DTC U0114: AWD-ECU Time-Out <AWD> 

CAUTION

• If the ECM output the DTC U0114, make sure 

to diagnose the CAN bus line.

• Before replacing the ECU, make sure that the 

communication circuit is operating normally.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• After 2 seconds have passed since the ignition 

switch was turned to "ON" position.

• Battery positive voltage is 10 volts or higher.

Judgement Criterion

• Unable to receive AWD-ECU signals through the 

CAN bus line for 4 seconds.

COMMENT

Current Trouble

• Some of the possible causes are a harness or 

connector damage between the ECM and the 
AWD-ECU on the CAN bus line, a failure in the 
AWD-ECU power supply system, a failure in the 
AWD-ECU, or a failure in the ECM.

Past Trouble

• Proceed to troubleshoot based on a harness or 

connector damage on the CAN bus line between 
the ECM and AWD-ECU, and a failure in the 
AWD-ECU power supply system. Refer to "How 
to cope with past trouble" (Refer to GROUP 00, 
How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service 
Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunc-

tions 

P.00-15

).

CAUTION

When the ignition key is maintained within the 
range "A" (i.e., the ignition switch IG2 is in OFF 
position but the cranking does not start) for more 
than 1 second, ECM stores DTC U0114 (the past 
trouble).
NOTE: If a malfunction occurred in the past, a failure 
cannot be discovered through the MB991958 CAN 
bus diagnosis even if there might be a problem with 
the CAN bus. In this case, refer to GROUP 00, How 
to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

. 

Furthermore, it is possible to narrow down the areas 
of the possible failures from the DTCs that are output 
by the ECUs, which are communicating on the CAN 
bus (Refer to GROUP 54C, Explanation About The 
Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) Can Bus Diagnostics 

P.54C-10

).
