MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-986

STEP 10. Check for harness damage between injector
connector and PCM connector.

a. Check the harness wire between injector connector B-01

(terminal No. 2) and PCM connector B-23 (terminal No.
153) at No. 1 cylinder.

b. Check the harness wire between injector connector B-30

(terminal No. 2) and PCM connector B-23 (terminal No.
146) at No. 2 cylinder.

c. Check the harness wire between injector connector B-03

(terminal No. 2) and PCM connector B-23 (terminal No.
140) at No. 3 cylinder.

d. Check the harness wire between injector connector B-27

(terminal No. 2) and PCM connector B-23 (terminal No.
139) at No. 4 cylinder.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Check the following items, and repair or replace the

defective items.

a. Check the ignition coil and spark plugs.
b. Check if the injectors are clogged.
c. Check compression pressure.
d. Check fuel lines for clogging.
e. Check if the foreign materials (water,

kerosene, etc.) got into fuel.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is

eliminated.

NO : Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom

is eliminated.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 7: Hard Starting

.

COMMENT

• In cases such as the above, the cause is usually

either weak spark, improper air/fuel mixture or
low compression.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most
likely causes for this case:)

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of the injector system.

• Poor fuel quality. (Contamination)

• Poor compression.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Measure the battery positive voltage.
(1) Measure the battery positive voltage during cranking.

• The voltage should remain greater than 8 volts while the

engine is cranked.

Q: Does the voltage remain greater than 8 volts while the

engine is cranked?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to GROUP 54A, Battery

− Battery check

P.54A-5

.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart

P.13A-33

.

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following item in the actuator test. Refer to

Actuator Test Reference Table

P.13A-1097

.

a. Item 07: Fuel Pump.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the actuator operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or Replace it. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following item in the data list. Refer to Data List

Reference Table

P.13A-33

.

a. Item 21: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or Replace it. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 5. Check the ignition timing.
(1) Check the ignition timing at cranking.

Standard value: 5

° BTDC ± 3°

Q: Is the ignition timing normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Check that the crankshaft position sensor and timing

belt cover are in the correct position. Then confirm
that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 6. Check harness connector B-01 or B-03 or B-27 or
B-30 at injector for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 7. Check the injector.
(1) Disconnect the injector connector B-01, B-03, B-27 and

B-30.

(2) Measure the resistance between each injector side

connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 10.5

− 13.5 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 10.5 and 13.5 ohms

[at 20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Repair the injector. Then confirm that the malfunction

symptom is eliminated.
