MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-283

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 53:
Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

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) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

53, Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor.

• Approximately the same as the ambient air temperature

when the engine is cooled.

(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 : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector D-20 at the fuel tank
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.

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 6.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-11 at ECM for
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check for short circuit to ground between fuel
tank temperature sensor connector D-20 (terminal No. 3)
and ECM connector B-11 (terminal No. 115).
NOTE: Check harness after checking intermediate connector
C-129. If the intermediate connector is damaged, repair or
replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspec-
tion

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

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 6.

NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. 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 23

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0182 set?

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

.

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
