Variable Tumble Control Operation Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Access ECT1 and ECT2 PIDs.
  3. Verify that ECT1 and ECT2 PIDs are less than 60 °C {140 °F} (LF)/63 °C {145 °F} (L5). 
  4. Start the engine.
  5. Inspect rod operation under the following conditions:

Rod operation 

ROD OPERATION CONDITIONS

Engine speed  3,750 RPM
Below Above
Shutter valve actuator  Operate Not operate
  1. Verify that DTC P2009:00 or P2010:00 is not displayed.
  2. Inspect the variable tumble solenoid valve. (See VARIABLE TUMBLE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION .)

Fuel Injector Operation Inspection 

If simulation function of M-MDS is used: 

FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION INSPECTION CHART

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 Start the engine and warm it up until normal operating temperature.
Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2.
Access the INJ#1, INJ#2, INJ#3 and INJ#4 PIDs using the M-MDS.
(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
Turn the fuel injector from on to off using the PIDs each cylinder.
Does the engine speed drop?
Yes Fuel injector work properly.
No Go to the next step.
2 Disconnect the fuel injector that the engine speed does not drop at Step 1.
Switch the ignition to ON.
Measure the voltage between suspect fuel injector terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
Is the voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace for a possible open or short circuit.
3 Inspect for open or short circuit in wiring harness between suspect fuel injector terminal B and following PCM terminals:
  • Fuel injector No. 1
    • PCM terminal 2BB
  • Fuel injector No. 2
    • PCM terminal 2BC
  • Fuel injector No. 3
    • PCM terminal 2BD
  • Fuel injector No. 4
    • PCM terminal 2AZ
Yes Repair or replace for a possible open or short circuit.
No Go to the next step.
4 Inspect suspect fuel injector.
(See FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION .)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the fuel injector.
(See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Replace the PCM.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)

If simulation function of M-MDS used: 

FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION INSPECTION CHART

STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 While cranking engine, inspect for fuel injector operation sound at each cylinder using a soundscope.
Is operation sound heard?
Yes Fuel injector work properly.
No Go to the next step.
2 Disconnect the fuel injector that the engine speed does not drop at Step 1.
Switch the ignition to ON.
Measure the voltage between suspect fuel injector terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
Is the voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace for a possible open or short circuit.
3 Inspect for open or short circuit in wiring harness between suspect fuel injector terminal B and following PCM terminals:
  • Fuel injector No. 1
    • PCM terminal 2BB
  • Fuel injector No. 2
    • PCM terminal 2BC
  • Fuel injector No. 3
    • PCM terminal 2BD
  • Fuel injector No. 4
    • PCM terminal 2AZ
Yes Repair or replace for a possible open or short circuit.
No Go to the next step.
4 Inspect suspect fuel injector.
(See FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION .)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the fuel injector.
(See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Replace the PCM.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
