Diagnostic Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START 

    Turn ignition switch to "START".

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    1. Yes GO TO 2.
    2. 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.

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Listen to each injector operating sound.

    Clicking noise should be heard. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK INSPECTION END 
    2. NG GO TO 3.
  3. CHECK INJECTOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
    2. Disconnect injector harness connector.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK GO TO  5 .
    2. NG GO TO 4.
  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M33, F22
    • Harness connectors F5, F100
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M10
    • 10A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between injector and fuse
    1. Repair harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK INJECTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between injector terminal 2 and ECM terminals 23, 22, 21, 42, 41, 40. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM  .

      Continuity should exist. 

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

    OK or NG 

    1. OK GO TO  7 .
    2. NG GO TO 6.
  6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors F100, F5
    • Harness for open or short between injector and ECM
    1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  7. CHECK INJECTOR 
    1. Disconnect injector harness connector.
    2. Check resistance between terminals as shown in the figure.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK GO TO 8.
    2. NG Replace injector.
  8. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT  " .

    1. INSPECTION END
