MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-355

STEP 3. Check harness connector C-15 at left bank heated
oxygen sensor (rear) and harness connector D-135 at PCM
for damage.

Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Test 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 4 −

Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor

P.13A-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0159 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal

No. 1) to the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(rear) heater.

• The PCM (terminal No. 18) controls continuity to

the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 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 (rear) current

is out of specified range when engine coolant
temperature is over 20

°C (68°F).

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Not applicable

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

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 (rear)

heater is on.

• Battery positive voltage is between 11 and 16.5

volts.

Judgment Criteria

• The left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) heater

current has continued to be lower than 0.16
ampere or higher than 5.0 ampere for 4 seconds.

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

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) deterio-

rated.

• Open or shorted left bank heated oxygen sensor

(rear) heater circuit or harness damage.

• Connector damage.
