Diagnostic Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START 

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    Yes (With CONSULT-III)>>GO TO  2.

    Yes (without CONSULT-III)>>GO TO  3.

    No: GO TO  6.

  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST " mode with CONSULT-III.
    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO  6.

  3. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-I 

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect harness connector F50, F251
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.

    4. Check voltage between harness connector F50 terminal 5 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    7. Check harness continuity between harness connector F50 and ECM as follows.

      2 4 42
      3 2 22
      4 3 41
      5 1 21
      6 7 40

      Continuity should exist. 

    8. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO  5.

      NG: GO TO  4.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M82, F102
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M1
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F50 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F50 and ECM

      >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-II 

    Provide battery voltage between harness connector F251 as follows and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO  6.

  6. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect fuel injector harness connector.

    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between fuel injector terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  8.

    NG: GO TO  7.

  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M82, F102
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M1
    • 10A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between fuel injector and fuse

      >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  8. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between fuel injector terminal 2 and ECM terminals 21, 22, 23, 40, 41, 42.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  10.

    NG: GO TO  9.

  9. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors F251, F50
    • Harness for open or short between fuel injector and ECM

      >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  10. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR
