MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-805

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Battery positive voltage is applied to the MFI

relay (terminals No. 3, No. 4).

• When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"

position, the battery positive voltage is applied to
the PCM (terminal No. 98).

• When the battery positive voltage is applied, the

PCM turns the power transistor in the PCM "ON"
and grounds the MFI relay coil. With this, the MFI
relay turns "ON" and the battery positive voltage
is supplied to the PCM (terminals No. 41, No. 47)
from the MFI relay (terminal No. 1).

• Battery positive voltage is constantly supplied to

the PCM (terminal No. 66) as the backup power.

• The PCM (terminals No. 42, No. 48) is grounded

to the vehicle body.

.

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

• Malfunction of the ignition switch.

• Malfunction of the MFI relay.

• Improper connector contact, open circuit or

short-circuited harness wire.

• Disconnected PCM ground wire.

• Malfunction of the PCM.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check harness connector C-59 at MFI relay for
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

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

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 2. Check the MFI relay
(1) Remove the MFI relay.

(2) Check for continuity between the MFI relay terminal No. 2

and No. 4.

• There should be continuity (approximately 70 ohms)

(3) Use jumper wires to connect MFI relay terminal No. 4 to the

positive battery terminal and terminal No. 2 to the negative
battery terminal.

(4) Check for continuity between the MFI relay terminal No. 1

and No. 3 while connecting and disconnecting the jumper
wire at the negative battery terminal.

• Should be less than 2 ohms. (Negative battery terminal

connected)

• Should be open loop. (Negative battery terminal discon-

nected)

(5) Install the MFI relay.
Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the MFI relay. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 3. Measure the power supply voltage at MFI relay
harness side connector C-59.
(1) Disconnect the connector C-59 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminals No. 3, No. 4 and

ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair harness wire between fusible link (12) and MFI

relay connector C-59 (terminals No. 3, No. 4). Then
confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 4. Check harness connector C-91 at PCM for
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 5. Measure the ignition switch-IG signal voltage at
PCM harness side connector C-91.
(1) Disconnect the connector C-91 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 98 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Check harness connector D-08 at intermediate

connector for damage, and repair or replace as
required. Refer to, GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connectors D-08

is in good condition, repair harness wire between
ignition switch connector D-15 (terminal No. 2) and
PCM connector C-91 (terminal No. 98). Then confirm
that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
