.

Check Condition, Judgement Criterion

• When the fuel consumption calculated from the

operation time of the injector amounts to 30 litters
(7.9 gal), the diversity of the amount of fuel in
tank calculated from the fuel level sensor is 2 lit-
ters (0.5 gal) or less.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

None.

.

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

• Fuel pump module or fuel level sensor (sub)

failed.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-616

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).

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) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P0461 set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check fuel gauge.
Q: Is the fuel gauge functioning?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to GROUP 54A, Combination Meter

− Trouble

Symptom Chart

P.54A-69

.

STEP 3. Check the trouble symptoms.
Check that the fuel gauge operates correctly.
Q: Does the fuel gauge operates correctly?

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. When the ECM is replaced,

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis

Check that the fuel gauge operates correctly.
Q: Does the fuel gauge operates correctly?

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

DTC P2096: Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System too Lean

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The ECM effects air/fuel ratio feedback control in

accordance with the signals from the linear
air-fuel ratio sensor.

• If the linear air-fuel ratio sensor has deteriorated,

corrections will be made by the heated oxygen
sensor (rear).

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• When an abnormality exists in the linear air-fuel

ratio sensor, the amount of compensated fuel
injection is abnormal. When this situation contin-
ues, it is judged to be faulty.

• If an abnormality exists in the heated oxygen sen-

sor (rear), also it is judged to be faulty even
though the linear air-fuel ratio sensor is normal.
