STEP 1. Check if the EGR valve sounds during initialization.
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
caution | To prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III). |
(1) Connect scan tool (M.U.T-III). Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-III) . (2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is any DTC stored?
Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart . Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check actuator test.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the following items in the actuator test. Refer to Actuator Test Reference Table .- Item 1: Injectors
- Item 10: Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Are they operating properly?
Go to Step 4. Repair or replace it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
STEP 4. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), 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 .- Item 5: Intake Air Temperature Sensor
- Item 6: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Item 10: Mass Airflow Sensor
- Item 76: A/C Switch
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Are they operating properly?
Go to Step 5. Repair or replace it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
STEP 5. Check the fuel pressure.
STEP 6. Check the ignition timing.
STEP 7. Measure the voltage at ECM connector by using check harness special tool MB992110.
(1) Disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the power plant ECU check harness special tool MB992110 between the separated connectors.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.note | Vehicles for Canada, the headlight, taillight, etc. remain lit even when the lighting switch is in "OFF" position but this is no problem for checks. |
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal ALTG line and ground.- Engine: warming up
- Radiator fan: stopped
- Headlight: OFF to ON
- Rear defogger switch: OFF to ON
- Stop light: OFF to ON
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Did the measured voltage increase?
Go to Step 8. Replace the generator. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
STEP 8. Check the spark plugs.
STEP 9. Check the ignition coil.
STEP 10. Check the compression pressure.
STEP 11. Check the positive crankcase ventilation system.
STEP 12. Check the evaporative emission control system.
