MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-352

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No.

4) to the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

heater.

• The PCM (terminal No. 125) controls continuity to

the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) heater by

turning the power transistor in the PCM "ON" and

"OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• 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 (front) current

is out of specified range when engine coolant tem-

perature 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 (front)

heater is on.

• Battery positive voltage is at between 11 and 16.5

volts.

Judgment Criteria

• The left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) heater

current has continued to be lower than 0.16
ampere or higher than 7.5 ampere for 4 seconds.

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

• Open or shorted left bank heated oxygen sensor

(front) heater circuit, or harness damage.

• Open circuit in left bank heated oxygen sensor

(front) heater.

• Connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MD998464: Test Harness

• MB991923: Check Harness

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-25 at the left bank
heated oxygen sensor (front) 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 (front).

(1) Disconnect left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector B-25 and connect test harness special tool,
MD998464, to the connector on the left bank heated oxygen
(front) sensor side.

(2) Measure the resistance between heated oxygen sensor

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

Standard value: 4.5

− 8.0 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 4.5 and 8.0 ohms

[at 20

°C (68°F)]?

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

Then go to Step 12.
