MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-266

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-14 at the left bank
heated oxygen sensor (front) and harness connector B-10
at the 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 the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front).
(1) Disconnect the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector B-14 and connect test harness special tool,
MB998464, to the connector on the left bank heated oxygen
sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature

reaches 80

°C (176°F) or higher.

(3) Rev the engine for 5 minutes or more with the engine speed

of 2,500 r/min.

(4) Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 2

(black clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the left bank

heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6

− 1.0 volts

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires;

incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen
sensor.

• Be careful the heater can be damaged if a voltage

beyond 8 volts is applied to the heated oxygen sensor
heater.
NOTE: If the temperature of sensing area does not reach
the high temperature [of approximately 400

°

C (752

°

F) or

more] even though the oxygen sensor is normal, the output
voltage would be possibly low in spite of the rich air-fuel
ratio. Therefore, if the output voltage is low, use a jumper
wire to connect the terminal No.1 (red clip) and the terminal
No. 3 (blue clip) of the heated oxygen sensor with the posi-
tive terminal and the negative terminal of 8 volts power sup-
ply respectively, then check again.

Q: Is the voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volts?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front).

Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check for harness between the left heated oxygen
sensor (front) connector B-14 and the ECM connector
B-10.
(1) Disconnect the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector B-14 and the ECM connector B-10.

(2) Measure the resistance between the heated oxygen sensor

connector B-14 and the ECM connector B-10.

a. Connector B-14 (terminal No. 2) and connector B-10

(terminal No. 39).

b. Connector B-14 (terminal No. 4) and connector B-10

(terminal No. 38).

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

(3) Check for the continuity between the oxygen sensor

connector B-14 and ground.

a. Connector B-14 (terminal No. 2) and ground
b. Connector B-14 (terminal No. 4) and ground

• Not continuity.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector

Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item
AE: Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

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

AE, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

• Warm up the engine. When the engine is revved, the

output voltage should battery positive voltage.

• Warm up the engine. When the engine is idling, the out-

put voltage should repeat 0.4 volt or less and 0.6 to 1.0
volt alternately.

(4) 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

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

NO : Replace the ECM. 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 21

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0151 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
