Fuel Injector Operation Inspection

If simulation function of M-MDS is used: 

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION (SKYACTIV-G) FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION INSPECTION

Step INSPECTION ACTION
1 Start the engine and warm it up completely.
Access the PCM PID [INJ] using the M-MDS.
(See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION .)
Turn each fuel injector from on to off using the PIDs for each cylinder. Does the engine speed drop?
Yes Fuel injectors work properly.
No Engine speed does not drop an any cylinder:
  • Go to the next step.

    Engine speed drops on some cylinders:

  • Go to Step 4.
2 Perform the Main Relay Operation Inspection.
(See MAIN RELAY OPERATION INSPECTION .)
Does the main relay work properly?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
3 Inspect the fuel injector of the suspected cylinder.
(Refer to FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the fuel injector.
(Refer to FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
No Inspect the fuel injector power and/or ground systems related wiring harness and connectors for the suspected cylinder.
4 Perform the KOER self test using the M-MDS.
(See DTC INSPECTION .)
Are the DTCs P0201:00, P0202:00, P0203:00 and/or P0204:00 present?
Yes Go to the appropriate DTC inspection.
(See P0201:00 [PCM (SKYACTIV-G)] .)
(See P0202:00 [PCM (SKYACTIV-G)] .)
(See P0203:00 [PCM (SKYACTIV-G)] .)
(See P0204:00 [PCM (SKYACTIV-G)] .)
No Go to the next step.
5 Inspect the fuel injector of the suspected cylinder.
(Refer to FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the fuel injector.
(Refer to FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
No Inspect the following for the suspected cylinder:
  • PCM terminals (pulled-out pins, corrosion)
  • Fuel injector terminals (pulled-out pins, corrosion)
  • If all items normal:
  • If not:
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.

If simulation function of M-MDS is not used: 

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION (SKYACTIV-G) FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION INSPECTION

Step INSPECTION ACTION

(Refer to FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the fuel injector. (Refer to FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
No Go to the next step.
2 Inspect the following for the suspected cylinder:
  • Fuel injector power and/or ground system related wiring harnesses and connectors
  • PCM terminals (pulled-out pins, corrosion)
  • Fuel injector terminals (pulled-out pins, corrosion)

    Is there any malfunction?

Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
No Replace the PCM.
