MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-471

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The fuel tank may be under a slight pressure or

vacuum depending on the state of the Evapora-
tive Emission (EVAP) System. The ECM monitors
and responds to these pressure/vacuum
changes. If the pressure/vacuum varies from the
specified range, the ECM will set DTC P0455.

• The ECM energizes the evaporative emission

ventilation solenoid to shut off the evaporative
emission canister outlet port.

• The evaporative emission purge solenoid is acti-

vated to apply engine manifold vacuum to the
EVAP system.

• When the fuel system develops a vacuum of 2

kPa (0.29 psi), the evaporative emission purge
solenoid is turned "off" and the fuel system vac-
uum is maintained at 2 kPa (0.29 psi).

• The ECM determines whether there is a leak or

clog in the fuel system by measuring the change
in vacuum inside the fuel tank.

• The test is stopped when fuel vapor pressure is

determined to be too high.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Depressurizing EVAP system by intake manifold

negative pressure is impossible within specified
period.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous.

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank is less than
451 Pa (0.13 in.Hg). <Amount of remaining fuel is
15

− 40 percent of capacity>

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank is less than
324 Pa (0.09 in.Hg). <Amount of remaining fuel is
40

− 85 percent of capacity>

• Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (22.4

in.Hg).

• Intake air temperature is higher than 5°C (41°F)

• Fuel tank temperature is less than 36°C (97°F).

• Fuel tank differential pressure sensor output volt-

age is 1.0

− 4.0 volts.

• At least 10 seconds have passed since the last

monitor was complete.

Judgment Criterion

• The fuel tank internal pressure is 1,961 Pa (0.284

psi) or more after the evaporative emission purge
solenoid valve has been driven when the fuel
tank and vapor line were closed.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE
SET ARE:)

• Loose fuel cap.

• Fuel cap relief pressure is incorrect.

• Fuel overflow limiter valve failed.

• Purge line or vapor line is clogged.

• Fuel tank, purge line or vapor line seal failed.

• Evaporative emission purge solenoid valve failed.

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid valve

failed.

• Fuel tank differential pressure sensor failed.

• Evaporative emission canister seal is faulty.

• Evaporative emission canister is clogged.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check the evaporative
emission system monitor test.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn

the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

• During this test, the ECM will automatically increase

the engine speed to 1,600 r/min or greater. Check that
the transaxle is set to "P" position.

(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Erase the DTCs using scan tool MB991958.
(4) Check that the fuel cap is securely closed (Tighten until

three clicks are heard).

(5) Start the engine.
(6) Select "System Test."
(7) Select "Evap Leak Mon."
(8) During this test, keep the accelerator pedal at the idle

position.

(9) Keep the engine speed and engine load within the specified

range. When the monitor test starts, the "In Progress" item
on scan tool MB991958 will change from "NO" to "YES".

(10) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, and

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

Q: Is "Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Failed and DTCs

Set" displayed on scan tool MB991958?
YES : A malfunction has been detected during the monitor

test. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and
diagnose any other DTCs that are set

P.13A-49

. If no

other DTC's have been set, go to Step 2 .

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Passed" is
displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The evaporative

emission system is working properly at this time.
Explain to the customer that an improperly tightened
fuel cap can cause the MIL to illuminate. Return the
vehicle to the customer.

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Discontinued. Retest again from
the first" is displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The

EVAP monitor has been interrupted during the test.
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
once, and repeat the monitoring from Step 1 .
