MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-735

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. 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) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P2108 set?

YES : Replace the PCM.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Range/Performance Problem Circuit

• Refer to DTC P2122 − Accelerator Pedal Position

Sensor (main) Circuit

P.13A-743

.

• Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE 33 − Accel-

erator Pedal Position Switch Circuit

P.13A-944

.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Refer to, DTC P2122 − Accelerator Pedal Posi-

tion Sensor (main) Circuit

P.13A-743

.

• Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE 33 − Accel-

erator Pedal Position Switch Circuit

P.13A-944

.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• PCM checks the APS (main) output signal char-

acteristics for abnormal conditions.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output

voltage is greater than that the specified value
when the accelerator pedal position switch is on.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

.

Check Conditions

• Ignition switch "ON" position.

• Accelerator pedal position switch: ON

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output

voltage is 1.88 volts or less.

Judgement Criteria

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output

voltage is 1.88 volts or higher for 1 second.

None.

.

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

• APS failed.

• Harness damage in APS (main) circuit

• Accelerator pedal position switch failed.

• Shorted accelerator pedal position switch circuit,

or connector damage.

• PCM failed.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

STEP 1. Check connector D-138 at accelerator pedal
position sensor and accelerator pedal position switch for
damage.
Q: Is the 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 11.

STEP 2. Check the accelerator pedal position sensor.
(1) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor connector

D-138.

(2) Measure resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 2 and

between terminal No. 7 and No. 8.

Standard value: 3.5

− 6.5 kΩ

(3) Measure resistance between terminal No. 2 and No. 3 and

between terminal No. 6 and No. 8.

(4) Move the accelerator pedal from the idle position to the

full-open position.

• Resistance value changes in accordance with the accel-

erator pedal depression smoothly.

Q: Is the resistance normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. Then

go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the continuity at accelerator pedal position
sensor harness side connector D-138.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-138 and measure at the

harness side.

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

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check connector D-135 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.
