TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-295

STEP 2. Check for short circuit to power supply between
left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) connector B-26
(terminal No. 4) and PCM connector D-135 (terminal No.
108).

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 3.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Perform 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-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0152 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO : The procedure is complete.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 108) from the output terminal (terminal
No. 4) of the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the left bank heated oxygen

sensor (front) is grounded with PCM (terminal
No. 96).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

detects the concentration of oxygen in the
exhaust gas; it converts those data to voltage,
and inputs the resulting signals to the PCM.

• When the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

begins to deteriorate, the left bank heated oxygen
sensor signal response becomes poor.

• The PCM forcibly varies the air/fuel mixture to

make it leaner and richer, and checks the
response speed of the left bank heated oxygen
sensor (front). In addition, the PCM also checks
for an open circuit in the left bank heated oxygen
sensor (front) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) rich/lean

switching frequency is under specified value.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other
monitor and Sensor)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Heated oxygen sensor heater (front) monitor

• Misfire monitor

• Fuel system monitor

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be

normal)

• Volume airflow sensor

• Engine coolant temperature sensor

• Intake air temperature sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 50°C

(122

°F).

• Engine speed is between 1,250 and 3,000 r/min.

• Volumetric efficiency is between 24 and 65 per-

cent.

• Under the closed loop air/fuel control.

• The accelerator pedal is not closed.

• Short-term fuel trim is at between −30 and +25

percent.

• More than 3 seconds have elapsed after the

abovementioned conditions have been met.

• The PCM monitors for this condition for 7 cycles

of 12 seconds each during the drive cycle.

Judgment Criteria

• The left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) sends

"lean" and "rich" signals alternately 11 times or
less for 12 seconds.

NOTE: If the sensor switching frequency is lower
than the Judgment Criteria due to the MUT-III OBD-II
test Mode

−

H02S Test Results, it is assumed that

the heated oxygen sensor has deteriorated. If it is
higher, it is assumed that the harness is damaged or
has a short circuit.
If the heated oxygen sensor signal voltage has not
changed even once (lean/rich) after the DTC was
erased, the sensor switch time will display as 0 sec-
onds.
