MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-389

STEP 6. Using the oscilloscope, check the No. 6 cylinder
injector.
(1) Disconnect the No. 6 cylinder injector connector B-115 and

connect the test harness special tool (MB991658) between
the separated connectors. (All terminals should be
connected)

(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to the injector side

connector terminal No. 2.
NOTE: When measuring with the ECM side connector, dis-
connect all ECM connectors. Connect the check harness
special tool (MB992110) between the separated connec-
tors. Then connect an oscilloscope probe to the check har-
ness connector terminal No. 51.

(3) Start the engine and run at idle.

(4) Measure the waveform.

• The waveform should show a normal pattern similar to

the illustration.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the waveform normal?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. 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 22

P.13B-11

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0206 set?

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

DTC P0221: Throttle Position Sensor (sub) Plausibility

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Compare the actual measurement of volumetric effi-
ciency by a mass airflow sensor signal with volumet-
ric efficiency estimated from a throttle position
sensor (sub) signal.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

Check Conditions

• The difference between the actual volumetric effi-

ciency and the volumetric efficiency estimated by
the throttle position sensor (sub) is 0 % or more.

Or, the volumetric efficiency is 60 % or less.

• The engine speed is between 750 and 3000r/min.

Or, the throttle position sensor (main) output volt-
age is 3 volts or less.

Judgment Criterion

• For 0.4 second, the difference between the actual

volumetric efficiency and the volumetric efficiency
estimated by the throttle position sensor (sub) is
33 % or more.

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

• Throttle position sensor (sub) system failed.

• Intake system vacuum leak.

• There is some foreign matter around mass air-

flow sensor.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MB991658: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P0221 set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart

P.13B-50

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 15:
Throttle Position Sensor (sub).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Detach the intake air hose at the throttle body.
(3) Disconnect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(4) Use test harness special tool (MB991658) to connect only

terminals No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6.

(5) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

15, Throttle Position Sensor (sub).

• Output voltage should be 4.0 volts or more when the

throttle valve is fully closed with your finger.

• Output voltage should be 1.0 volt or less when the throt-

tle valve is fully open with your finger.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to, DTC P0222
