DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools:
  • MB991709: Test Harness
  • MB992110: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Using the oscilloscope, check the intake camshaft position sensor.


(1)Disconnect the intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106, and connect test harness special tool (MB991709) between the separated connectors. (All terminals should be connected.)

(2)Connect the oscilloscope probe to the intake camshaft position sensor side connector terminal No. 3.
note When measuring with the ECM side connector, disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the check harness special tool (MB992110) between the separated connectors. Then connect the oscilloscope probe to the check harness connector terminal No. 14.
(3)Start the engine and run at idle.

(4)Check the waveform.

  • The waveform should show a pattern similar to the illustration.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the waveform normal?

Go to Step 2.

Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-106 at intake camshaft position sensor and harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106.


(1)Disconnect the connector B-106 and measure at the harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)Measure the voltage between terminal No. 3 and ground.

  • Voltage should be between 4.9 and 5.1 volts.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the measured voltage between 4.9 and 5.1 volts?

Go to Step 9.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

STEP 7. Measure the sensor supply voltage at ECM connector B-108 by using power plant ECU check harness special tool MB992110.



(1)Disconnect the all ECM connectors. Connect the power plant ECU check harness special tool MB992110 between the separated connectors.
(2)Disconnect the intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4)Measure the voltage between terminal No. 14 and ground.

  • Voltage should be between 4.9 and 5.1 volts.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the measured voltage between 4.9 and 5.1 volts?

Repair harness wire between intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106 (terminal No. 3) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 14) because of open circuit. Then go to Step 19.

Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check for short circuit to ground between intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106 (terminal No. 3) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 14).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis - ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS> or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis - ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> . Then go to Step 19.
Repair it. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 9. Measure the power supply voltage at intake camshaft position sensor connector B-106.


(1)Disconnect the connector B-106 and measure at the harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

  • Voltage should be between 4.9 and 16.0 volts.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the measured voltage between 4.9 and 16.0 volts?

Go to Step 12.
