If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related
to the Multipoint Fuel Injection (MPI) system, the engine
warning lamp will illuminate.
If the lamp remains illuminated or if the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, check the diagnosis code output.
Engine warning lamp inspection items
Engine-ECU
Air flow sensor
Intake air temperature sensor
Throttle position sensor
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Crank angle sensor
Camshaft position sensor
Barometric pressure sensor

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS
CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND
ACTUATOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by connecting the MUT-II.
If there is an abnormality, check and repair the chassis
harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, 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 carry out a road test to confirm
that the problem has disappeared.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
No initial combustion (starting impossible)
Probable cause
In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that a spark plug is defective,
or that the supply of fuel to the combustion chamber is defective.
In addition, foreign materials (water, kerosene, etc.) may be mixed with the fuel.Malfunction of the ignition system
Malfunction of the fuel pump system
Malfunction of the injectors

items.Malfunction of the ignition system
Malfunction of air-fuel ratio control system
