Diagnosis Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Are any cylinders 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 (3), F201 (1)

    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between harness connector F44 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage

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

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      ECM TERMINALS REFERENCE CHART

      Cylinder Harness connector F44 terminal ECM terminal
      1 2 23
      3 1 22
      5 4 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 E2, F32
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E119
    • 15 A fuse (No. 55)
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F44 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F201 and fuel injector

      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 F201 as follows and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.

    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 E2, F32
    • Harness connectors F44, F201
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E119
    • 15 A fuse (No. 55)
    • 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 .
