MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-793

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

• Throttle actuator control motor relay failed.

• Open or shorted throttle actuator control motor

relay circuit, or connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-14X at throttle
actuator control motor 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 go to Step 14.

STEP 2. Check the throttle actuator control motor relay.

CAUTION

Because it is not possible to distinguish the top and the
bottom of the throttle actuator control motor relay, inspect
it with the triangle mark printed on the relay facing upward.
(1) Remove the throttle actuator control motor relay.

(2) Check for continuity between the throttle actuator control

motor relay terminal No. 2 and No. 3.

• There should be continuity (approximately 70 ohms).

(3) Use jumper wires to connect throttle actuator control motor

relay terminal No. 3 to the positive battery terminal and
terminal No. 2 to the negative battery terminal.

(4) Check the continuity between the throttle actuator control

motor relay terminal No. 1 and No. 4 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 throttle actuator control motor relay.
Q: Is the measured resistance normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the throttle actuator control motor relay.

Then go to Step 14.

STEP 3. Measure the power supply voltage at throttle
actuator control motor relay harness side connector B-14X

CAUTION

Because it is difficult to distinguish the top and bottom of
the throttle actuator control motor relay connector at the
wiring harness, inspect it by using triangle mark on the
junction block as a reference.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-14X and measure at the

harness side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Check harness connector A-13 at intermediate

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

P.00E-2

. If intermediate connector A-13 is

in good condition, repair it because of open circuit or
short circuit to ground between battery and throttle
actuator control motor relay connector B-14X
(terminal No. 1). Then go to Step 14.

STEP 4. Measure the power supply voltage at throttle
actuator control motor relay harness side connector
B-14X.

CAUTION

Because it is difficult to distinguish the top and bottom of
the throttle actuator control motor relay connector at the
wiring harness, inspect it by using triangle mark on the
junction block as a reference.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-14X and measure at the

harness side.

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

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 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 : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-17X at MFI relay for
damage.

Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector

B-17X (terminal No. 4) and throttle actuator control
motor relay connector B-14X (terminal No. 2)
because of open circuit or short circuit to ground.
Then go to Step 14.

NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 14.
