MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-389

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 81:
Long-Term Fuel Trim (trim).
(1) Start the engine and run at idle.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

81, Long-Term Fuel Trim (trim).

• The fuel trim should be between −12.5 and +12.5 when

the load is 2,500 r/min (during closed loop) after the
engine is warmed.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the specification normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to, DTC P0171

− System too Lean

P.13A-328

,

DTC P0172

− System too Rich

P.13A-337

.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 82:
Short-Term Fuel Trim (trim).
(1) Start the engine and run at idle.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

82, Short-Term Fuel Trim (trim).

• The fuel trim should be between −25 and +25 when the

load is 2,500 r/min (during closed loop) after the engine
is warmed.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the specification normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Refer to, DTC P0171

− System too Lean

P.13A-328

,

DTC P0172

− System too Rich

P.13A-337

STEP 4. Check the ignition coil spark.
(1) Check each ignition coil spark.
(2) Remove the intake manifold.
(3) Remove the spark plug and connect to the spark plug

cable.

(4) Ground the spark plug side electrode securely.

• When the engine is cranked, the spark plug should

spark.

Q: Did it spark?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the spark plugs.
(1) Check that the plug is not burned, that the insulator plug is

not damaged, and that the seizure state is good.

(2) If cleaning is required due to carbon deposits, etc., clean

using a plug cleaner or wire brush, etc.

(3) Check the plug gap using a plug gap gauge, and adjust if

not within the standard value.

Standard value: 1.0

− 1.1 mm (0.039 − 0.043 inch)

Q: Is the spark plug in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Replace the faulty spark plug. Then go to Step 13.

STEP 6. Check the spark plug cable.
(1) Check the cap and coating for cracks.
(2) Measure the resistance.

Limit: maximum 19 k

Ω

Q: Is the measured resistance less than 19 k

Ω?

YES : Refer to, INSPECTION PROCEDURE 33

− Ignition

Circuit System

P.13A-877

.

NO : Replace the faulty spark plug cable. Then go to Step

13.

STEP 7. Check the injector.
(1) Disconnect the injector connector.

(2) Measure the resistance between each injector side

connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 13

− 16 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the resistance between 13 and 16 ohms?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Replace the faulty injector. Then go to Step 13.

STEP 8. Check connector B-01, B-02, B-05, B-06 at injector
for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Repair or replace the faulty connector. Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 13.

STEP 9. Check connector C-49 at ECM <M/T> or connector
C-50 at PCM <A/T> for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection
