STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following items of data list. Refer to Data List

Reference Table

P.13A-839

.

a. Item 39: Right Bank Heated Oxygen Sensor (front)
b. Item 11: Left Bank Heated Oxygen Sensor (front)

• Voltage should fluctuate between 0 − 0.4 volt and 0.6 −

1.0 volt while idling after the engine has been warmed.

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

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check the fuel pressure.
Refer to On-vehicle Service

− Fuel Pressure Test

P.13A-884

.

Q: Is the fuel pressure normal?

YES : Check the following items, and repair or replace the

defective items.

a. Vacuum leak.

• Broken intake manifold gasket.

• Broken air intake hose.

• Broken vacuum hose.

• Positive crankcase ventilation valve does

not operate.

b. Injector clogged.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is

eliminated.

NO : Repair or replace. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.

STEP 8. Check the fuel pressure.
Refer to On-vehicle Service

− Fuel Pressure Test

P.13A-884

.

Q: Is the fuel pressure normal?

YES : Check the following items, and repair or replace the

defective items.

a. Check the ignition coil, spark plugs, spark plug

cables.

b. Check the EGR system.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is

eliminated.

NO : Repair or replace. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 20: Knocking

.

COMMENT

• Incase such as the above, the heat value of the

spark plug may be inappropriate or low fuel qual-
ity.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this case: )

• Inappropriate heat value of the spark plug.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the following items.
Carry out the following items, and repair or replace the defec-

tive items.

a. Check the spark plugs.
b. Fuel quality, octane level.

c. Check if the foreign materials (water, kerosene, etc.)

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 21: Dieseling.

.

COMMENT

• Fuel leakage from injectors is suspected, or car-

bon build up.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this case: )

• Fuel leakage from injectors.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the injectors for fuel leakage.
Replace the leaking injector. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 22: Too high CO and HC concentration when idling

.

COMMENT

• Abnormal air/fuel ratio is suspected.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this case: )

• Malfunction of air/fuel ratio control system.

• Deteriorated catalyst.

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

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart

P.13A-26

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the ignition timing.
Refer to GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service

− Ignition Timing

Check

P.11A-9
