MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-333

STEP 3. Check the fuel tank temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the fuel tank temperature sensor connector

D-20.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 3

of the fuel tank temperature sensor.

Standard value: 0.5

− 12.0 kΩ

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.5 and 12.0 k

Ω?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the fuel tank temperature sensor. Then go to

Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

Diagnostic Function

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 14

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0181 set?

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

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis
− ID Codes 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 : It can be assumed that this malfunction is

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

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

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 14

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0181 set?

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

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• 5-volt voltage is applied to the fuel tank tempera-

ture sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from
the ECM (terminal No. 115) via the resistor in the
ECM.

• The fuel tank temperature sensor output voltage

increases when the resistance increases and
decreases when the resistance decreases. The
ground terminal (terminal No. 1) is grounded to
the vehicle body.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The fuel tank temperature sensor converts the

fuel tank temperature to a voltage.

• The ECM detects the fuel tank temperature with

this output voltage.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Fuel tank temperature sensor output voltage is out of
specified range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous
