Q: Is the compression pressure normal?

YES : Check the following items, and repair or replace the 

defective items.

a. Check fuel lines for clogging.
b. Check if fuel is contaminated.

c. Check if the injectors are clogged.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is 

eliminated.

is eliminated.

Inspection procedure 6: Hard starting

.

COMMENT

• In cases such as the above, the cause is usually 

either weak spark, improper air-fuel mixture or 
low compression.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this case:)

• Malfunction of the fuel pump system.

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of the injector system.

• Poor compression

• Malfunction of the EGR system

• Contaminated fuel.

• Malfunction of the ECM.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check if the EGR valve sounds during 
initialization.
Q: Is the initialization sound heard in the EGR valve?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to GROUP 17, Emission Control 

− Exhaust Gas 

Recirculation (EGR) System 

− EGR Valve (Stepper 

Motor) Check

STEP 2. 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 the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is any DTC set?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-49

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.

Reference Table 

P.13A-818

.

a. Item 1: Power Supply Voltage.
b. Item 6: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

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

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace. Then confirm that the malfunction 

symptom is eliminated.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following items in the actuator test. Refer to 

Actuator Test Reference Table
