TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-331

OPERATION

• The battery voltage is applied on the engine-ECU

(terminal No. 31) form the condenser fan control
relay (low).

• The battery is applied on the engine-ECU (termi-

nal No. 30) from the condenser fan control relay
(high).

FUNCTION

• The engine-ECU condenser fan control relay

turns "ON" with the signal from the engine-ECU,
and power is supplied to the condenser fan
motor.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed condenser fan relay (high)

• Failed condenser fan relay (low)

• Failed condenser fan motor

• Open/short circuit in condenser fan control relay

circuit or loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

NOTE:

.

*1: L.H. drive vehicles
*2: R.H. drive vehicles

STEP 1. Check condenser fan motor.

• Check condenser fan motor (Refer to GROUP 55

− Heater, Air conditioner and Ventilation
−Condenser and condenser fan motor − Inspec-
tion

P.55-127

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Replace the condenser fan motor.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-II/III actuator test

• Item No. 38: Condenser fan (low)

OK: Condenser fan motor rotates (low)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Go to Step 14 .

STEP 3. Connector check: A-06X condenser fan
relay (low) connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 4. Check condenser fan relay (low).

• Check condenser fan relay (low) (Refer to

GROUP 55

− On-vehicle Service

P.55-107

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Replace the condenser fan relay (low).

STEP 5. Perform voltage measurement at A-06X
condenser fan relay (low) connector.

• Remove relay, and measure at relay box side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8 .

NO :

Go to Step 6 .

STEP 6. Connector check: C-208 ignition switch
connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 7. Check ignition switch.

• Check ignition switch (Refer to GROUP 54A −

Ignition switch

− Ignition switch − Inspection

P.54A-30

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check intermediate connectors C-101,

C-129, C-210 and C-211, and repair if
necessary. If intermediate connectors are
normal, check and repair harness between
A-06X (terminal No. 2) condenser fan relay
(low) connector and C-208 (terminal No. 4)
ignition switch connector.

• Check power supply for open circuit

and damage.

NO :

Replace the ignition switch.

relay connector.

• Check power supply for open circuit

and damage.

NO :

Go to Step 9 .

STEP 9. Perform voltage measurement at C-121
engine-ECU connector.

• Measure engine-ECU terminal voltage.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 31 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 11 .

NO :

Go to Step 10 .
