TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-511

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-12 at EGR valve for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 2. Measure the EGR valve motor coil resistance.
(1) Disconnect the EGR valve connector B-12.
(2) Measure the resistance between EGR valve connector 

terminal No. 2 and either terminal No. 1 or terminal No. 3.

Standard value: 20 

− 24 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

(3) Measure the resistance between EGR valve connector 

terminal No. 5 and either terminal No. 4 or terminal No. 6

Standard value: 20 

− 24 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 20 and 24 ohms [at 

20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the EGR valve. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check for short circuit to power supply between 
EGR valve connector B-12 and ECM connector B-10.

a. EGR valve connector B-12 (terminal No. 1) and ECM con-

nector B-10 (terminal No. 31).

b. EGR valve connector B-12 (terminal No. 3) and ECM con-

nector B-10 (terminal No. 32).

c. EGR valve connector B-12 (terminal No. 4) and ECM con-

nector B-10 (terminal No. 47). 

d. EGR valve connector B-12 (terminal No. 6) and ECM con-

nector B-10 (terminal No. 48).

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles 

with KOS> 

P.42B-15

 or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis 

− ID 

Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with 
WCM> 

P.42C-10

. 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 − Pattern 3 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0490 set?

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

DTC P0506: Idle Control Sytem RPM Lower Than Expected

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The amount of air taken in during idling is regu-

lated by the opening and closing of the throttle 
valve.

• The ECM checks the difference between the 

actual engine speed and the target engine speed.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Difference between actual and target idle speed is 

over the specified value.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.

Check Conditions

• Under the closed loop idle speed control.

• The engine coolant temperature is more than 

41

°C (106°F).

• Battery positive voltage is higher than 10 volts.

• Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (22.4 

in.Hg).

• Intake air temperature is higher than −10°C 

(14

°F).

• 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of the pre-

vious monitoring.

• Target airflow rate is more than 19 L/sec when 

engine coolant temperature is higher than 77

°C 

(171

°F).

• Target airflow rate is more than 30 L/sec when 

engine coolant temperature is lower than 77

°C 

(171

°F).

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools

• MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable
