MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-438

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The knock sensor (terminal No. 1) sends a signal

voltage to the ECM (terminal No. 25).

• The ground terminal (terminal No. 2) is grounded

with ECM (terminal No. 42).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The knock sensor converts the vibration of the

cylinder block into a voltage and outputs it.

• The ECM checks whether the voltage is within a

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Knock sensor output voltage is out of specified

range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS

.

Check Condition

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the engine

starting sequence was completed.

Judgement Criterion

• Knock sensor output voltage has continued to be

lower than 0.5 volt for 2 seconds.

.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

• Fix the ignition timing with an allowance against

knock.

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

• Knock sensor 2 failed.

• Open or shorted knock sensor 2 circuit or con-

nector damage.

• ECM failed.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-440

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-20 at the knock
sensor 2 and harness connector B-10 at ECM 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 5.

STEP 2. Check for open circuit between knock sensor 2
connector B-20 (terminal No. 2) and ECM connector B-10
(terminal No. 42).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit and short circuit to ground
between knock sensor 2 connector B-20 (terminal No. 1)
and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 25).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Replace the knock sensor.
(1) Replace the knock sensor.
(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 P0332 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced,

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis
− ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles

with KOS>

P.42B-15

or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis

− ID

Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with
WCM>

P.42C-10

. Then go to Step 5.

NO : Replace the knock sensor. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. 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 − Pattern 22

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0332 set?

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