DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools:
  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

    • MB991824: V.C.I.
    • MB991827: USB Cable
    • MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).



caution To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1)Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Read the DTC.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P1241 set?

Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart .

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Check the following items in the data list. Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 10: Mass Airflow Sensor.
  2. Item 11: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main).
  3. Item 12: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Are they operating properly?

Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 3. Check for intake system vacuum leak.


Q. Are there any abnormalities?

Repair it. Then go to Step 10.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check for foreign matter being around the mass airflow sensor.


Q. Are there any foreign matter?

Repair it. Then go to Step 10.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-10 at throttle actuator control motor and harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 6.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 10.

STEP 6. Check the throttle actuator control motor.



(1)Disconnect the connector B-10.
(2)Measure the resistance between throttle actuator control motor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.
Standard value: 0.3 - 80 Ω [at 20°C (68°C)]

Q. Is the measured resistance between 0.3 and 80 Ω [at 20°C (68°C)?

Go to Step 7.

Replace the throttle body assembly. Then go Step 10.

STEP 7. Check for harness damage between throttle actuator control motor connector B-10 (terminal No. 1) and PCM connector B-108 (terminal No. 15).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 8.
Repair it. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 8. Check for harness damage between throttle actuator control motor connector B-10 (terminal No. 2) and PCM connector B-108 (terminal No. 16).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 9.
Repair it. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 9. Check the trouble symptoms.


(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern 17 .
(2)Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q. Is DTC P1241 set?

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 10.
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .

STEP 10. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.


(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern 17 .
(2)Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q. Is DTC P1241 set?

Retry the troubleshooting.
The inspection is complete.
