CHECK AT THE ENGINE-ECU TERMINALS
TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECK CHART
1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe (test harness:
MB991223 or paper clip) to a voltmeter probe.
2. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the
engine-ECU connector terminals from the wire side, and
measure the voltage while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) Make the voltage measurement with the engine-ECU
connectors connected.
(2) You may find it convenient to pull out the engine-ECU
to make it easier to reach the connector terminals.
(3) The checks can be carried out off the order given
in the chart.
Caution
Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a
connector terminal and earth could damage the
vehicle wiring, the sensor, engine-ECU or all of them.
Be careful to prevent this!
3. If voltmeter shows any division from standard value, check
the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical
wiring, then repair or replace.
4. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter
to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.
Needle-nosed wire probe

MPI -Troubleshooting13A-114
CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY
BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.

16. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line.
(Refer to P.13A-125.)
17. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and special tool from
the delivery pipe.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure
in the fuel pipe line.
18. Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high pressure
hose with a new one. Furthermore, apply engine oil to
the new O-ring before replacement.
19. Fit the fuel high pressure hose over the delivery pipe
and tighten the bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0±1.0 N·m
20. Check for any fuel leaks by following the procedure in
step 7.
21. Disconnect the MUT-II.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKING
1. Confirm that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator cap tester and apply 160 kPa pressure,
and then check for leakage from the radiator hose or
connections.
Caution
(1) Be sure to completely clean away any moisture
from the places checked.
(2) When the tester is taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant from it.
(3) Be careful, when installing and removing the tester
and when testing, not to deform the filler neck
of the radiator.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP OPENING PRESSURE CHECK
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.
2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge
stops moving.
Limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 - 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not remain
at or above the limit.
NOTE
Be sure that the cap is clean before testing, since rust
or other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper indication.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the under cover.
(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
2. Drain the engine coolant by removing the drain plug and
then the radiator cap.
