Diagnostic Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START 

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    • Yes (With CONSULT-II): GO TO 2.
    • Yes (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO  3.
    • No: GO TO  8.
  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.

    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

    OK or NG 

    • OK: INSPECTION END 
    • NG: GO TO  8.
  3. CHECK FUNCTION OF INJECTOR-I 

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Stop engine.
    2. Disconnect harness connector F44, F101.

    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    7. Check harness continuity between harness connector F44 and ECM as listed in ECM TERMINALS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR F44 TERMINALS REFERENCE .

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      3 1 22
      5 4 21
      • Continuity should exist. 
    8. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  6.
    • NG: GO TO 4.
  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E2, F32
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E119
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F44 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F101 and injector
      • Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
    • CHECK FUNCTION OF INJECTOR-II 

      Provide battery voltage between harness connector F101 as shown in Fig 5 and then interrupt it. Listen to each injector operating sound.

      • Operating sound should exist. 

      OK or NG 

      • OK: GO TO 6.
      • NG: GO TO  8.
    • CHECK FUNCTION OF INJECTOR-III 
      1. Reconnect all harness connector disconnected.
      2. Start engine.
      3. Listen to injectors No. 2, No. 4, No. 6 operating sound.
        • Clicking noise should exist.
