MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-411

STEP 4. Check for short circuit to ground between fuel 
tank temperature sensor connector G-03 and PCM 
connector D-134.

NOTE: Check harness after checking intermediate connector 
D-111, E-113 and F-07. If the intermediate connectors are dam-
aged, repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Con-
nector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13A-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0182 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-413

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• 5-volt voltage is applied to the fuel tank tempera-

ture sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from 
the PCM (terminal No. 81) via the resistor in the 
PCM.

• The fuel tank temperature sensor output voltage 

increases when the resistance increases and 
decreases when the resistance decreases. The 
ground terminal (terminal No. 2) is grounded to 
the vehicle body.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The fuel tank temperature sensor converts the 

fuel tank temperature to a voltage.

• The PCM detects the fuel tank temperature in the 

fuel tank with this output voltage.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Fuel tank temperature sensor output voltage is out of 

specified range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

.

Check Conditions

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the engine 

starting sequence was completed.

Judgement Criteria

• Sensor output voltage has continued to be 4.6 

volts or higher for 2 seconds.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Fuel tank temperature sensor failed.

• Open fuel tank temperature sensor circuit, or con-

nector damage.

• PCM failed. 

DIAGNOSIS
