Diagnosis Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    Yes (With CONSULT-III): GO TO 2.

    Yes (Without CONSULT-III): GO TO  3.

    No: GO TO  7.

  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION

    With CONSULT-III 

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

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO  7.

  3. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-I

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Stop engine.
    2. Disconnect harness connector F44 (2), F101 (3).
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.

    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    7. Check harness continuity between harness connector F44 terminal and ECM terminal as follows.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      3 2 22
      5 1 21

      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 E8, F17
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector E30
    • 10 A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F44 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F44 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 harness connector F101 as follows and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.

    Operating sound should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 6.

    NG: GO TO  7.

  6. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-III
    1. Reconnect all harness connector disconnected.
    2. Start engine.
    3. Listen to fuel injectors No. 2, No. 4, No. 6 operating sound.

    Clicking noise should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO 7.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  9.

    NG: GO TO 8.

  8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E8, F17
    • Harness connectors F44, F101
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector E30
    • 10 A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between fuel injector and fuse

    Repair harness or connectors.

  9. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between fuel injector terminal 2 and ECM terminals 21, 22, 23, 40, 41, 42.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

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