MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-158

STEP 10. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor

connector B-104.

(2) Remove the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(3) With the temperature sensing portion of engine coolant

temperature sensor immersed in hot water, check
resistance.

Standard value:

14

− 17 kΩ [at −20°C (−4°F)]

5.1

− 6.5 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.1

− 2.7 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

0.9

− 1.3 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.48

− 0.68 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.26

− 0.36 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

(4) Apply 3M

 AAD part number 8731 or equivalent on the

screw section of the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(5) Install the engine coolant temperature sensor, and tighten

to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 30

± 9 N⋅m (22 ± 7 ft-lb)

Q: Is the measured resistance at the standard value?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO : Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Then

go to Step 11.

STEP 11. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

Diagnostic Function

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 −

Other Monitor

P.13A-6

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0118 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

DTC P0122: Throttle Position Sensor (main) Circuit Low Input

CAUTION

If DTC P0122 has been set, TCL related DTC
U1120 is also set. After P0122 has been diag-
nosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-160

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A 5-volt power supply is applied on the throttle

position sensor (main) power terminal (terminal
No. 5) from the PCM (terminal No. 94).
The ground terminal (terminal No. 3) is grounded
with PCM (terminal No. 95).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The throttle position sensor (main) outputs volt-

age which corresponds to the throttle valve open-
ing angle.

• The PCM checks whether the voltage is within a

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Throttle position sensor (main) output voltage is out

of specified range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Not applicable

.

Check Condition

• Ignition switch is "ON" position.

Judgement Criteria

• Throttle position sensor (main) output voltage

should be 0.35 volt or less for 0.5 second.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

None.

.

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

• Throttle position sensor failed.

• Open or shorted throttle position sensor (main)

circuit, harness damage, or connector damage.

• PCM failed.
