COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • Failure is possibly caused by poor ignition, incorrect air-fuel ratio at cranking, improper fuel pressure or other faults.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed battery
  • Failed ignition system
  • Failed fuel system
  • Air-fuel ratio control
  • Failed idle speed control system
  • Failed intake system
  • Failed exhaust gas cleaning system
  • Throttle valve fouled around
  • Timing belt not in place
  • Compression pressure improper
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
STEP 4: MUT-II/III data list
    1. Item 13: Intake air temperature sensor
    1. Item 21: Engine coolant temperature sensor
    1. Item 25: Barometric pressure sensor
Q: Are the check results normal?
YES:  Go to Step 5 .
NO:  Perform the diagnosis code classified check procedure for the sensor that has shown an abnormal data value (Refer to Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Codes ).
STEP 6: Check idle speed control servo for operating sound.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Clean throttle body (throttle valve portion) (Refer to ).
NO:  Check idle speed control servo system (Refer to Inspection Procedure 30 ).
STEP 9: Check injector for operating sound.
Q: Can operating sound be heard?
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO: 
  • Check the injector system of the defective cylinder
  • (Refer to Code No. 41 ).
       
  • Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.
  • Voltage between terminal No. 66 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 15 .
NO:  Go to Step 12 .
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 13 .
NO:  Repair.
       
NOTE: Before checking harness, check the following intermediate connector, and repair them if necessary.
  1. A-14 <RHD>, C-02 <LHD>, C-106, C-116 <LHD>, C-125 <RHD>, C-202 and C-204 (Except for Chile)
  • Check power supply line for open/short circuit and damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 14 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 42 and earth, also between terminal No. 48 and earth.
OK: 0.5 V or less
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 17 .
NO:  Go to Step 16 .
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between C-111 (terminal No. 42) engine-A/T-ECU connector and body earth, also between C-111 (terminal No. 48) engine-A/T-ECU connector and body earth.
    • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.
NO:  Repair.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 18 .
NO:  Repair.
STEP 20: Check spark plug cable itself.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 21 .
NO:  Replace spark plug cable.
STEP 21: Check ignition coil itself.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Go to Step 22 .
NO:  Replace ignition coil.
           
  • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between terminal No. 3 of each cylinder’s ignition coil connector and C-112 engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check signal line for open/short circuit and damage.
NO:  Repair.
STEP 23: Check spray condition of injector.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 24 .
NO:  Replace injector.
STEP 24: Check compression pressure.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 25 .
NO:  Repair.
