NOTE: 

.

•

Do not replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> until a through terminal check reveals 
there are no short/open circuit.

•

Check that the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> earth circuit is normal before checking for 
the cause of the problem.

•

After the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> has detected a malfunction, a diagnosis code is 
recorded the next time the engine is started and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items 
marked with "*", the diagnosis code is recorded on the first detection of the malfunction.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-25

OPERATION

• Power is supplied by the engine control relay 

(terminal No. 1) to the air flow sensor (terminal 
No. 2), and the air flow sensor (terminal No. 4) is 
grounded through the engine-ECU <M/T> or 
engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 96).

• The air flow sensor (terminal No. 3) outputs a 

sensor signal, which is input into the engine-ECU 
<M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 
63).

FUNCTION

• The air flow sensor outputs amperage that varies 

in accordance with the intake air volume.

• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU 

<A/T> uses the amperage output by the air flow 
sensor and the engine speed signal in order to 
determine the basic injection duration of the 
injector.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• After 3 seconds have passed since the ignition 

switch was turned to ON position.

Judgment Criteria

• Air flow sensor output voltage has continued to 

be 0.2 V or lower for 2 seconds.

Or

• Air flow sensor output voltage has continued to 

be 4.9 V or higher for 2 seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Failed air flow sensor

• Open/short circuit in air flow sensor circuit or 

loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU <M/T>

• Failed engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. MUT-III data list

• Refer to Data List Reference Table 

P.13A-363

.

a. Item 12: Air flow sensor

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 

00 

− How to Use 

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-5

).

NO : 

Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-106 air flow sensor 
connector 

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3 .

NO : 

Repair or replace.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at B-106 
air flow sensor connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness 

side.

• Ignition switch: ON

• Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5 .

NO : 

Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Connector check: B-15X engine control 
relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Check intermediate connector C-116, and 

repair if necessary. If intermediate 
connector is normal, check and repair 
harness between B-106 (terminal No. 2) air 
flow sensor connector and B-15X (terminal 
No. 1) engine control relay connector.

• Check power supply line for 

open/short circuit.

NO : 

Repair or replace.

STEP 5. Check resistance measurement at B-106 
air flow sensor connector.

• Disconnect and measure at harness side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 4 and earth.

OK: 2 

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 9 .

NO : 

Go to Step 6 .

STEP 6. Connector check: C-113 engine-ECU 
<M/T> connector or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 7 .

NO : 

Repair or replace.
