Diagnostic Procedure

1. Start engine and run it at idle.
2. Listen for an exhaust gas leak before three way catalyst (manifold).

OK or NG 

• OK : GO TO 2.
• NG : Repair or replace.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals and A/F sensor 1 terminals as follows. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

   A/F SENSOR 1 & ECM TERMINAL REFERENCE
   
   

   ECM terminal	A/F sensor 1 terminal
   16	1
   35	5
   56	6
   75	2

   • Continuity should not exit. 
4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 16, 35, 56, 75 and ground, or A/F sensor 1 terminals 1, 2, 5, 6 and ground. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
   • Continuity should not exist. 
5. Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG 

• OK : GO TO 3.
• NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE ".
2. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure.

   At idling: Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm _cm  51 psi) 

OK or NG 

• OK : GO TO  5.
• NG : GO TO 4.

Check the following.

• Fuel pump and circuit (Refer to FUEL PUMP .)
• Fuel pressure regulator (Refer to FUEL PRESSURE CHECK .)

OK or NG 

• OK : Replace "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump".
• NG : Repair or replace.

With CONSULT-II 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check "MASS AIR FLOW" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II
   • at idling : 1.4 - 4.0 gm/sec 
   • at 2, 500 rpm : 5.0 -10.0 gm/sec 

With GST 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check mass air flow sensor signal in Service $01 with GST.
   • at idling : 1.4 - 4.0 gm/sec 
   • at 2, 500 rpm : 5.0 -10.0 gm/sec 

OK or NG 

• OK : GO TO 6.
• NG : Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or engine grounds. Refer to "DTC P0101 MAF SENSOR ".

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 

• OK : GO TO 7.
• NG : Perform trouble diagnosis for INJECTOR, "INJECTOR "

1. Confirm that the engine is cooled down and there are no fire hazards near the vehicle.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove injector assembly. Refer to "FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE ".

   Keep fuel hose and all injectors connected to injector gallery.

   • : GO TO 8.

1. Disconnect injector harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all ignition coil harness connectors.
3. Prepare pans or saucers under each injectors.
4. Crank engine for about 3 seconds. Make sure fuel does not drip from injector.

OK or NG 

• OK (Does not drip) : GO TO 9.
• NG (Drips) : Replace the injectors from which fuel is dripping. Always replace O- ring with new one.

Perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
