MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-485

STEP 3. 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 − Procedure 5 −

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Monitor

P.13A-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0401 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO : The procedure is complete.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve power

is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No. 1).

• The PCM controls the EGR vacuum regulator

solenoid valve ground by turning the power tran-
sistor in the PCM "ON" and "OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• To judge if there is open circuit in the EGR vac-

uum regulator solenoid valve drive circuit, PCM
measures the surge voltage of the EGR vacuum
regulator solenoid valve coil.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Off-surge does not occur after stepper motor is oper-

ated on to off.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Once per driving cycle

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• Engine is being cranked.

• Battery positive voltage is at between 10 and

16.5 volts.

Judgment Criteria

• The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve coil

surge voltage (battery positive voltage + 2 volts)
is not detected for 0.2 second.

• The PCM monitors for this condition once during

the drive cycle.

Check Conditions

• Battery positive voltage is at between 10 and

16.5 volts.

• ON duty cycle of the EGR vacuum regulator sole-

noid valve is between 10 and 90 percent.

• ON duty cycle of the evaporative emission purge

solenoid is 0 percent.

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid is OFF.

• More than 1 second has elapsed after the above

mentioned conditions have been met.

Judgment Criteria

• The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve coil

surge voltage (battery positive voltage + 2 volts)
is not detected for 1 second.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve failed.

• Open or shorted EGR vacuum regulator solenoid

valve circuit, harness damage or connector dam-
age.

• PCM failed.
