MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-397

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal

No. 4) to the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(rear) heater.

• The PCM (terminal No. 137) controls continuity to

the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) heater
by turning the power transistor in the PCM "ON"
and "OFF".

.

BACKGROUND

• The PCM checks whether the heater current is

within a specified range when the heater is ener-
gized.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Left bank heated oxygen sensor heater (rear) current

is out of specified range when engine coolant
temperature is over 20

°C (68°F).

Check Conditions

• 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the

previous monitoring.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 20°C

(68

°F).

• While the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear)

heater is on.

• Battery positive voltage is between 11 and 16.5

volts.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-399

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

• Open or shorted left bank heated oxygen sensor

(rear) heater circuit, or harness damage.

• Open circuit in left bank heated oxygen sensor

(rear) heater.

• Connector damage.

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) failed.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991316: Test Harness

• MB991923: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-24 at the left bank
heated oxygen sensor (rear) 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 go to Step 12.

STEP 2. Check the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear).

(1) Disconnect left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) connector

B-24 and connect test harness special tool, MB991316, to
the connector on the left bank heated oxygen (rear) sensor
side.

(2) Measure the resistance between heated oxygen sensor

connector terminal No. 1 (red clip) and terminal No. 3 (blue
clip).

Standard value: 11

− 18 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 11 and 18 ohms [at

20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear).

Then go to Step 12.
