Diagnostic Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START 

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    YES (With CONSULT-II): GO TO  2.

    YES (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO  3.

    No: GO TO  3.

  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO  3.

  3. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-I 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect harness connectors F221 (1), F33 (2).
      • <-: Vehicle front
      • Cylinder head (bank 2) (3)
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.

    4. Check voltage between harness connector F33 terminal 5 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    7. Check harness continuity between the following terminals.

      Continuity should exist. 

    8. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  5.

    NG: GO TO  4.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M72, F102
    • Harness connectors F33, F221
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M4
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F33 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F33 and ECM

    : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-II 

    Provide battery voltage between the following terminals, and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO  6.

  6. CHECK SUB-HARNESS CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Disconnect fuel injector harness connector (1).

    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  7.

    NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  7. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR 

    Refer to , "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  8.

    NG: Replace fuel injector.

  8. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to , "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
