NOTE
1. If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU <M/T> or
engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>, communication between MUT-II and the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU
<A/T> is impossible. In this case, the diagnosis code cannot be read.
2. After the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> has detected a malfunction, the engine warning
lamp illuminates when the engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However,
for items marked with a L in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates
only on the first detection of the malfunction.
3. After the engine warning lamp illuminates, it will be switched off under the following conditions.
(1) When the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> monitored the power train malfunction
three times* and met set condition requirements, it detected no malfunction.
*: In this case, one time indicates from engine start to stop.
(2) For misfiring malfunction, when driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature,
etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
4. Sensor 1 indicates the sensor mounted at a position closest to the engine, and sensor 2 indicates
the sensor mounted at the position second closest to the engine.

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS


CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
DIAGNOSIS USING DIAGNOSIS 2 MODE
1. Switch the diagnosis mode of the engine control unit
to DIAGNOSIS 2 mode using the MUT-II.
2. Carry out a road test.
3. Take a reading of the diagnosis code and repair the
problem location.
4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
NOTE
By turning the ignition switch to OFF, the ENGINE-ECU
will switch the diagnosis mode from DIAGNOSIS 2 mode
to DIAGNOSIS 1 mode.
5. Erase the diagnosis codes.

13A-6

MPI <4G6> - Troubleshooting


INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND ACTUATOR
TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-II and check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.
FREEZE FRAME DATA
When the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
detects a malfunction and stores a diagnosis code, it also
stores a current status of the engine. This function is called
Freeze frame data. By analyzing this freeze frame data
with the MUT-II, an effective troubleshooting can be
performed.
The display items of freeze frame data are shown below.

READINESS TEST STATUS


The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> monitors
the following main diagnosis items, judges if these items are
in good condition or not, and the stores its history. This
history can be read out by using MUT-II. (If the ECU has
judged a item before, the MUT-II displays Complete.)
In addition, if diagnosis codes are erased or the battery
cable is disconnected, this history will also be erased (the
memory will be reset).

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE


When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning item

Control contents during malfunction

Air flow sensor

1.
2.

Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.

Intake air temperature


sensor

Controls as if the intake air temperature is 25_C.

Throttle position sensor (TPS)

No increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.

Engine coolant temperature sensor

Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80_C.

Camshaft
sensor

position

Injects fuel to all cylinders simultaneously.


(However, after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the No. 1 cylinder top dead centre is not
detected at all.)

Barometric
sensor

pressure

Controls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa.

Detonation sensor

Switches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.

Ignition coil,
transistor

Cuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.

power

Oxygen sensor (front)

Air/fuel ratio feedback control (closed loop control) is not performed.

Oxygen sensor (rear)

Performs the feedback control (closed loop control) of the air/fuel ratio by using only the
signal of the oxygen sensor (front) installed on the front of the catalytic converter.

Alternator FR terminal

Does not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)

Misfiring

If the detected misfiring causes damage to the catalyst, the misfiring cylinder will be shut
down.

Idling speed is improper when A/C is operating

Probable cause

If the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> detects that the air


conditioner is on, it activates the idle speed control (ISC) servo to control idle-up
operation.
The A/C-ECU judges if the load caused by air conditioner operation is high or
low, and converts it to voltage signal (high or low voltage) and inputs the signal
to the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.
Based on this voltage signal, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
controls the idle-up speed (for high or low load).

DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE

Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*1. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency is sometimes
10 % higher than the standard frequency.
*2. The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 100 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the throttle position switch turns back on
after the throttle position sensor voltage has risen by 100 mV and the throttle valve has opened,
the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need to be adjusted.
*3. The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min or below when
the power supply voltage is 11 V.
*4. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10 %
longer than the standard time.
*5. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes
30 steps greater than the standard value.

CHECK AT THE ENGINE-ECU TERMINALS


TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECK CHART
1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe (test harness:
MB991223 or paper clip) to a voltmeter probe.
2. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> connector
terminals from the wire side, and measure the voltage
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) Make the voltage measurement with the engine-ECU
<M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> connectors
connected.
(2) You may find it convenient to pull out the engine-ECU
<M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> to make it easier
to reach the connector terminals.
(3) The checks can be carried out off the order given
in the chart.
Caution
Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a
connector terminal and earth could damage the
vehicle wiring, the sensor, engine-ECU <M/T> or
engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or all of them. Be careful to
prevent this!
3. If voltmeter shows any division from standard value, check
the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical
wiring, then repair or replace.
4. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter
to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

NOTE
1. If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU, communication
between MUT-II and the engine-ECU is impossible. In this case, the diagnosis code cannot be read.
2. After the engine-ECU has detected a malfunction, the engine warning lamp illuminates when the
engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items marked with
a L in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates only on the first
detection of the malfunction.
3. After the engine warning lamp illuminates, it will be switched off under the following conditions.
(1) When the engine-ECU monitored the power train malfunction three times* and met set condition
requirements, it detected no malfunction.
*: In this case, one time indicates from engine start to stop.
(2) For misfiring malfunction, when driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature,
etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
4. Sensor 1 indicates the sensor mounted at a position closest to the engine, and sensor 2 indicates
the sensor mounted at the position second closest to the engine.

4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
NOTE
By turning the ignition switch to OFF, the ENGINE-ECU will
switch the diagnosis mode from DIAGNOSIS 2 mode to
DIAGNOSIS 1 mode.
5. Erase the diagnosis codes.

INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND ACTUATOR


TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-II and check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.

Performs the feedback control (closed loop control) of the air/fuel ratio by using only the
signal of the oxygen sensor (front) installed on the front of the catalytic converter.

Communication wire
with transmission control unit <A/T>

Ignition timing is not retarded during transmission gear shifting (overall engine and
transmission control).

Alternator FR terminal

Does not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)

Misfiring

If the detected misfiring causes damage to the catalyst, the misfiring cylinder will be shut
down.

NOTE
When a problem is detected in the vacuum control solenoid valve, ventilation control solenoid valve,
crank angle sensor or any of the above items, traction control is not performed <Vehicles with TCL>.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
The engine warning lamp does not illuminate right after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

Probable cause

Because there is a burnt-out bulb, the engine-ECU causes the engine warning lamp
to illuminate for five seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
If the engine warning lamp does not illuminate immediately after the ignition switch
is turned to ON, one of the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.

Idling speed is improper when A/C is operating

Probable cause

If the engine-ECU detects that the air conditioner is on, it activates the idle
speed control (ISC) servo to control idle-up operation.
The A/C-ECU judges if the load caused by air conditioner operation is high or
low, and converts it to voltage signal (high or low voltage) and inputs the signal
to the engine-ECU.
Based on this voltage signal, the engine-ECU controls the idle-up speed (for
high or low load).

DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE


Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*1. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the air flow sensor output frequency is sometimes
10 % higher than the standard frequency.
*2. The idle position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the throttle position sensor is 50 100 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the throttle position switch turns back on
after the throttle position sensor voltage has risen by 100 mV and the throttle valve has opened,
the idle position switch and the throttle position sensor need to be adjusted.
*3. The injector drive time represents the time when the cranking speed is at 250 r/min or below when
the power supply voltage is 11 V.
*4. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10 %
longer than the standard time.
*5. In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the step of the stepper motor is sometimes
30 steps greater than the standard value.

NOTE
1. If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU (engine-A/T-ECU),
communication between MUT-II and the engine-ECU (engine-A/T-ECU) is impossible. In this case,
the diagnosis code cannot be read.
2. After the engine-ECU (engine-A/T-ECU) has detected a malfunction, the engine warning lamp illuminates
when the engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items
marked with a L in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates only
on the first detection of the malfunction.
As for P1220, P1221, P1223, P1224, and P1228, the engine warning lamp flashes. If malfunctions
are detected at the throttle position sensor (1st channel) and the throttle position sensor (2nd channel)
at the same time, or malfunctions are detected at the accelerator pedal position sensor (1st channel)
and the accelerator pedal position sensor (2nd channel) at the same time, the engine warning lamp
will flash.
3. After the engine warning lamp illuminates, it will be switched off under the following conditions.
(1) When the engine-ECU (engine-A/T-ECU) monitored the power train malfunction three times* and
met set condition requirements, it detected no malfunction.
*: In this case, one time indicates from engine start to stop.
(2) For misfiring malfunction, when driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature,
etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
4. Sensor 1 indicates the sensor mounted at a position closest to the engine, and sensor 2 indicates
the sensor mounted at the position second closest to the engine.

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS


CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
DIAGNOSIS USING DIAGNOSIS 2 MODE
1. Switch the diagnosis mode of the engine-ECU <M/T>
or engine A/T-ECU <A/T> to DIAGNOSIS 2 mode using
the MUT-II.
2. Carry out a road test.
3. Take a reading of the diagnosis code and repair the
problem location.
4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
NOTE
By turning the ignition switch to OFF, the engine-ECU
<M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> will switch the diagnosis
mode from DIAGNOSIS 2 mode to DIAGNOSIS 1 mode.
5. Erase the diagnosis codes.
INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND
ACTUATOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-II and check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.

GDI - Troubleshooting
FREEZE FRAME DATA
When the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
detects a malfunction and stores a diagnosis code, it also
stores a current status of the engine. This function is called
Freeze frame data. By analyzing this freeze frame data
with the MUT-II, an effective troubleshooting can be
performed.
The display items of freeze frame data are shown below.

READINESS TEST STATUS
The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> monitors
the following main diagnosis items, judges if these items are
in good condition or not, and the stores its history. This
history can be read out by using MUT-II. (If the ECU has
judged a item before, the MUT-II displays Complete.)
In addition, if diagnosis codes are erased or the battery
cable is disconnected, this history will also be erased (the
memory will be reset).

2.

Intake air temperature sensor

Controls as if the intake air temperature is 25_C.

Throttle position sensor (2nd


channel)

1.
2.

3.

Suspends lean burn operation.


Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle
sensor signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition
timing from the pre-set mapping.

Suspends lean burn operation.


Controls the throttle opening angle feedback (half as much as the opening
rate in the normal condition) by using signals from the throttle position sensor
(1st channel). However, this controlling system is not applied if the throttle
position sensor (1st channel) and throttle position sensor (2nd channel)
combination output voltage is outside 4 - 6 V.
Refrains from controlling the throttle opening angle feedback if the throttle
position sensor (1st channel) is also defective.

Engine coolant temperature


sensor

Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80_C. (Moreover, the control system
is working until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the sensor signal returns to normal.)

Camshaft position sensor

Controls maintaining the condition before determined as failure.


Fuel will be cut-off 4 seconds after a malfunction is detected. (However, only
if No. 1 cylinder TDC has never been detected after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position)

Vehicle speed sensor

Accelerator pedal position sensor (2nd channel)

1.
2.

3.

Suspends lean burn operation.


Controls the throttle valve position by using signals from the accelerator pedal
position sensor (1st channel). (However, the control system is not applicable
if the difference from the accelerator pedal position sensor (1st channel) output
voltage is 1.0 V or higher.)
Suspends the electronic controlled throttle valve system if accelerator pedal

NOTE
*1: Within four minutes after starting the engine
*2: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10 %
longer than the standard time.
*3: The accelerator pedal position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the accelerator pedal
position sensor (1st channel) is 300 - 500 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the
accelerator pedal position switch turns back on after the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage
has risen by 100 mV and the throttle valve has opened, the accelerator pedal position switch and
the accelerator pedal position sensor (1st channel) need to be adjusted.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY


BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY


BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-A/T-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-A/T-ECU harness-side
connector while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-A/T-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.
