OUTLINE OF CHANGES
The following contents have been established to correspond to the addition of vehicles with 4G9-MPI
engine.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multipoint Fuel Injection System consists activities such as fuel injection control, idle
of sensors which detect the engine conditions, speed control and ignition timing control. In
the engine-ECU which controls the system addition, the engine-ECU is equipped with
based on signals from these sensors, and several diagnosis modes which simplify
actuators which operate under the control of troubleshooting when a problem develops.

FUEL INJECTION CONTROL


The injector drive times and injector timing are crankshaft. The firing order is 1-3-4-2. This is
controlled so that the optimum air/fuel mixture called sequential fuel injection. The engine-ECU

pressure being regulated by the fuel pressure air/fuel mixture by using the oxygen sensor
regulator. The fuel thus regulated is distributed signal to carry out “closed-loop” control in order

ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)
If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related
to the MPI system, the engine warning lamp will illuminate

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.

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.

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.

Air flow sensor 1. 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.

Needle-nosed wire probe


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 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
connectors connected.
(2) You may find it convenient to pull out the engine-ECU
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 or all of them. Be
careful to prevent this!

cardiagn.com
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.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY
BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position.
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.
MPI <4G9> – Troubleshooting 13C-85
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.

3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (but do not start the engine).


4. Check the output voltage of the throttle position sensor.
Standard value: 535 – 735 mV
MPI <4G9> – On-vehicle Service 13C-97
5. If not within the standard value, loosen the throttle position
sensor mounting bolts. Then rotate the sensor body to
adjust.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (OFF) position.
7. Remove the MUT-II. If the MUT-II is not used, remove
the special tool, and then connect the throttle position
sensor connector.
8. If a diagnosis code is displayed, erase the diagnosis code
by using the MUT-II or disconnect the negative battery
cable from the battery terminal and then leave it for at
least ten seconds. After that, reconnect the battery cable,
and then let the engine run at idle for approx. ten minutes.
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
(1) The standard idling speed has been adjusted by the
speed adjusting screw (SAS) by the manufacturer,
and there should usually be no need for readjustment.
(2) If the adjustment has been changed by mistake, the
idle speed may become too high or the idle speed
may drop too low when loads from components such
as the A/C are placed on the engine. If this occurs,

cardiagn.com
adjust by the following procedure.
(3) The adjustment, if made, should be made after first
confirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle
speed control servo, the compression pressure, etc.,
are all normal.
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (OFF) position.
3. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
NOTE
When the MUT-II is connected, the diagnosis control
terminal should be earthed.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Select the item No.30 of the MUT-II Actuator test.
NOTE
This holds the ISC servo at the basic step to adjust the
basic idle speed.
6. Check the idle speed.
Standard value: 700 ± 50 r/min
NOTE
(1) The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower than
indicated above for a new vehicle [driven
approximately 500 km or less], but no adjustment is
necessary.
(2) If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low even
though the vehicle has been driven approximately 500
km or more, it is probable that deposits are adhered
to the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to P.13C-96.)
13C-98 MPI <4G9> – On-vehicle Service

7. If not within the standard value range, turn the speed


adjusting screw (SAS) to make the necessary adjustment.
8. Press the MUT-II clear key, and release the ISC servo
from the Actuator test mode.
NOTE
Unless the ISC servo is released, the Actuator test mode
will continue 27 minutes.
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (OFF) position.
10. Disconnect the MUT-II.
11. Start the engine again and let it run at idle speed for
about 10 minutes; check that the idling condition is normal.
