MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-540

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The injector power is supplied from the MFI relay

(terminal No. 4).

• The PCM controls the injector by turning the

power transistor in the PCM "ON" and "OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The amount of fuel injected by the injector is con-

trolled by the amount of continuity time the coil is
grounded by the PCM.

• A surge voltage is generated when the injectors

are driven and the current flowing to the injector
coil is shut off.

• The PCM checks this surge voltage.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Off-surge does not occur after injector is operated.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MB991658: Test Harness

• MB991923: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test
item 02, 04, 06: No. 6 injector.

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) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator testing mode for

item 06, No. 6 Injector.

(4) Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature: 80

°C

to 95

°C (176°F to 203°F).

• The idle should become slightly rougher.

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

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-14

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness connector B-26 at No. 6
cylinder injector for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 10.
