MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-43

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The volume airflow sensor power is supplied from

the MFI relay (terminal No. 1), and the ground is
provided on the PCM (terminal No. 88).

• 5-volt power is applied to the volume airflow sen-

sor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from the PCM
(terminal No. 63). The volume airflow sensor gen-
erates a pulse signal when the output terminal
and ground are opened/closed (opened/short).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• While the engine is running, the volume airflow

sensor outputs a pulse signal which corresponds
to the volume of air flow.

• The PCM checks whether the frequency of this

signal output by the volume airflow sensor while
the engine is running is at or above the set value.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• An open or short circuit is detected while monitor-

ing the output frequency of the volume airflow
sensor.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 12:
Volume Airflow Sensor.

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 data reading mode for item

12, Volume Airflow Sensor.

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

°C

to 95

°C (176°F to 203°F).

• The standard value during idling should be 10 Hz or

more.

• When the engine is revved, the frequency should

increase according to the increase in engine speed.

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

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

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

P.00-6

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at volume
airflow sensor connector B-48 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the connector B-48.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No.4 and ground by

backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Measure the power supply voltage at volume
airflow sensor harness side connector B-48.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-48 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 4 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector

B-22X (terminal No. 1) and volume airflow sensor
connector B-48 (terminal No. 4) because of open
circuit or short circuit to ground. Then go to Step 13.

STEP 4. Check connector B-48 at the volume airflow
sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector

B-22X (terminal No. 1) and volume airflow sensor
connector B-48 (terminal No. 4) because of harness
damage. Then go to Step 13.

NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 13.

STEP 5. Check connector B-48 at volume airflow sensor
for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 13.
