TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-429

STEP 4. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 15 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0306 set?

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

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Codes 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 :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

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 15 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0306 set?

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

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-431

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The knock sensor (terminal No. 1) sends a signal 

voltage to the ECM (terminal No. 28).

• The ground terminal (terminal No. 2) is grounded 

with ECM (terminal No. 29).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The knock sensor converts the vibration of the 

cylinder block into a voltage and outputs it.

• The ECM checks whether the voltage is within a 

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Knock sensor output voltage is out of specified 

range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-432

Check Condition

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the engine 

starting sequence was completed.

Judgement Criterion

• Knock sensor 1 output voltage has continued to 

be lower than 0.5 volt for 2 seconds.

.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

• Fix the ignition timing with an allowance against 

knock.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Refer to Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − 

Pattern 22 

P.13B-11

.

.

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

• Knock sensor 1 failed.

• Open or shorted knock sensor 1 circuit or con-

nector damage.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-06 at the knock 
sensor 1 and harness connector B-10 at ECM 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. Check for open circuit between knock sensor 1 
connector B-06 (terminal No. 2) and ECM connector B-10 
(terminal No. 29).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit and short circuit to ground 
between knock sensor 1 connector B-06 (terminal No. 1) 
and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 28).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Replace the knock sensor 1.
(1) Replace the knock sensor 1.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P0327 set?

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 :  Replace the knock sensor. Then go to Step 5.
