GENERAL INFORMATION
--,a multiport fuel injection (MFI) system consists of the sensors which detect the engine condition, the
i . j i n e control module (ECM) which controls the engine on the basis of the sensor signals, and the actuators
iich operate under control of the ECM. The ECM controls the fuel injection, idle speed, ignition timing,
- . _ 1
idaddition, the ECM is provided with some diagnostic test modes (DTM) to fascilitate troubleshooting
--. case of failure.
FUEL INJECTION CONTROL
i n e injector drive time and timing are controlled to supply the engine with the mixture at the most appropriate
r-fuel ratio for the engine operating condition which changes constantly.
:ie injector is provided for the intake port of every cylinder.
zdal is delivered under pressure by the fuel pump from the fuel tank and its pressure is regulated by
. - ? fuel pressure regulator. The fuel having its pressure regulated is distributed to each injector.
.armally, fuel injection takes place from cylinder to cylinder once every two revolutions of the crankshaft
- the order of No.1, No.3, No.2 and No.4 cylinders. This is called sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
xmtrol. When the engine is cold or it is operated under a heavy load, ECM goes to “open loop” control
- enrich the mixture for maintenance of driveability. In normal operation, warm engine, the oxygen sensor
t p a l is used to perform “closed loop” control, which controls the mixture so as to have the theoretical
z : fuel ratio best for purification performance of the three-way catalyst.
D L E AIR CONTROL
The quantity of air bypassing the throttle valve is controlled in accordance with the change in the engine
bad while the engine is at idle.
h response to such condition as engine coolant temperature and air conditioning load, the ECM drives
- e IAC motor to keep the engine at the preset target idling speed. Furthermore, when a load is recognized
e. A/C on) at idle the IAC motor is driven to control the quantity of throttle valve bypassing air meeting
‘SR load change.
IGNITION TIMING CONTROL

f? stopping/flowing the primary current in the ignition coil through ON/OFF control of the ignition power
. msistor provided in the ignition primary circuit, the ignition timing is controlled so that ignition may take
:ace at the most appropriate time for the operating condition of the engine.
Tne ignition timing is determined by the ECM in accordance with the engine speed, intake air quantity,
i-igine coolant temperature, etc.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) FUNCTION
0 When the sensor/actuator abnormality related to the emission control has been detected, the check
engine/malfunction light illuminates to warn the driver.
0 Upon detection of the sensor/actuator abn?rmalitiy, the diagnostic trouble
. , code (DTC) corresponding
to the abnormality item is output.
0 The RAM data about the sensor/actuator inside the ECM can be read through the scan tool. In addition,
it is possible to force-drive actuators under certain conditions.
OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Fuel pump control
When cranking or operating the engine, the fuel pump relay is turned ON to supply the fuel pump
with power.
Air conditioning compressor clutch relay control
The air conditioning compressor clutch is controlled by the relay.
Purge control

EXPLANATION AND CAUTIONS FOR CIRCUIT

CHECKING 110007152
0 The connector symbols show the pin arrangement as seen

when looking at the terminals of the component. 8
0 When the standard value when checking the voltage is
recorded as B+, this is an abbreviation for battery positive
voltage.
Jest harness 1 0 When checking a waterproof connector with the circuit

in a live state, be sure to use the special tool (test harness).
Inserting the test probe from the harness side should never
be done, as it will adversely affect waterproof performance,
which may lead to corrosion. m
Furthermore, the test harness is used for each setting,
so the appropriate item for the connector should be se-
lected. a
0 In addition, if there is no test harness for the appropriate

connector, the test harness set (MB991348) which can
be connected directly between the terminals can be used.

0 When checking the terminal voltage, etc., with the connec-

tors disconnected, do not insert the test probe if the check
terminal has female pins.
Forcing the test probe into such a terminal can cause
poor contact.
E MFI - Troubleshooting 13A-13
I When checking for a open circuit in a harness with both

ends of the harness physically separated, use a jumper
lead to ground one end and check continuity between
the other end and the ground. This enables checking for
a open circuit in the harness to be made. If there is no
continuity, repair the harness.
However, when checking for a open circuit in the power
7
supply line, check the continuity between both ends directly,
without using a jumper lead to ground one end of the
harness.
Z6FU1217
When checking for a harness short-circuit, open one end

< of the harness and check for continuity between the other
end and ground.
If there is continuity, the harness is short-circuited to
ground, so repair the harness.
As a rule, use an analog type ohmmeter (or circuit tester)
to measure the continuity.

CHECK ENGINE/MAL FUNCTlON INDICAT0R I
LAMP 110007316
Among the on-board diagnostic items, a check engine/malfunc-

tion indicator lamp comes on to notify the driver when an
irregularity is detected.
However, when an irregular signal returns to normal and the
engine control module judges that it has returned to normal,
the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp goes out.
Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the lamp
goes out. Even if the ignition switch is turned on again, the
lamp does not come on until the irregularity is detected.
Immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, the check
engine/malfunction indicator lamp is lit for 5 seconds to indicate
that the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp operates nor-
mally.

All kinds of diagnostic trouble code can be monitored by carrying out a short drive in accordance wlth
the following drive cycle pattern.
In other words, doing such a drive allows to regenerate any kind of trouble which involves illuminating
the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp and to check if the repair procedure has eliminated the trouble
(the check engine malfunction indicator lamp is no more illuminated).

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
110007324
THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA)

CLEANING
(1) Start the engine and warm it up until the coolant is heated
to 80°C (176°F) or higher and then stop the engine.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
(3) Plug the bypass passage inlet (arrow) of the throttle body.
Caution
Do not allow cleaning solvent to enter the bypass
passage.
(4) Spray cleaning solvent into the valve through the throttle
body intake port and leave it for about 5 minutes.
(5) Start the engine, race it several times and idle it for about
1 minute. If the idling speed becomes unstable (or if the
engine stalls) due to the bypass passage being plugged,
slightly open the throttle valve to keep the engine running.
(6) If the throttle valve deposits are not removed, repeat steps
(4) and (5).
(7) Unplug the bypass passage inlet.
(8) Attach the air intake hose.
(9) Use the scan tool to erase the on-board diagnostic code
or disconnect the battery ground cable for more than 10
seconds and then connect it again.
(10)Adjust the basic idle speed. (Refer to P. 13A-48.)
NOTE
If the engine hunts when idling after adjustment of the
basic idle speed, remove the (-) cable from the battery
for 10 seconds or more, and then run the engine at idle
again.
CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH AND

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
110007163
NOTE
When using scan tool, proceed to service data item 26 and
observe the ON/OFF changes to the closed throttle position
switch, instead of performing ohmmeter tests.
If scan tool not available, follow the steps below.
(1) Disconnect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter between terminal No. 3 (closed

Throttle position
throttle position switch) and No. 4 (sensor ground) by

(3) Insert a feeler gauge with a thickness of 0.65 mm (.0256
in.) between the fixed SAS and the throttle lever.
(4) Loosen the throttle position sensor mounting bolt; then

turn the throttle position sensor body fully counterclock-
wise.
(5) In this condition, check for continuity between terminals
No. 3 and No. 4.
r ( i
Z9FUO147
(6) Slowly turn the throttle position sensor clockwise until the
point at which continuity between terminals No. 3 and
No. 4 changes to non-continuity is found.
Tighten the throttle position sensor installation bolt at that
position.
(7) Connect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(8) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector (white).
If not using the scan tool, proceed as follows:
a. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connectors and
connect the special tool, Test Harness Set, between
the disconnected connectors.
b. Connect a digital voltmeter between the throttle posi-
tion sensor terminal No. 2 (sensor output) and terminal
No. 4 (sensor ground).
(9) Turn the ignition switch ON (but do not start the engine).
(10)Check the throttle position sensor output voltage.
Standard value: 400-1,000 mV
(1l)lf there IS a deviation from the standard value, check the
throttle position sensor and the related harness.
(12)Remove the feeler gauge.
(13)Switch OFF the ignition switch.
13A-48 MFI e l .5L Engine> - Service Adjustment Procedures
FIXED SAS ADJUSTMENT 110007325
NOTE
1. The fixed SAS should not be moved unnecessarily; it has
been precisely adjusted by the manufacturer.
2. If the adjustment for any reason is disturbed, readjust
as follows.
(1) Loosen the tension of the accelerator cable sufficiently.
(2) Back out the fixed SAS lock nut.
(3) Turn the fixed SAS counterclockwise until it is sufficiently
backed out, and fully close the throttle valve.
(4) Turn the fixed SAS clockwise until the throttle lever is
touched (i.e., the point at which the throttle valve begins
to open) is found.
From that point, turn the fixed SAS clockwise another
1-1/4 turn.
(5) While holding the fixed SAS so that it doesn't move, tighten
the lock nut securely.
(6) Adjust the tension of the accelerator cable.
(7) Adjust the basic idle speed as directed below.
(8) Adjust the closed throttle position switch and throttle posi-
tion sensor. (Refer to P. 13A-46.)
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT 110007326
NOTE
1. The standard idle speed has been adjusted, by the engine
speed adjusting screw (SAS), by the manufacturer, and
there should usually be no need for readjustment.
2. In case the adjustment is disturbed or when the idle speed
is too high or it drops owing to application of air conditioning
load, make adjustment by the procedure described below.
3. The adjustment, if made, should be made after first confirm-
ing that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle air control
motor, the compression pressure, etc., are all normal.
(1) The vehicle should be prepared as follows before the'
inspection and adjustment.
0 Engine coolant temperature: 80-95°C (176-203°F)
0 Lights, cooling fan and accessories: OFF
0 Transaxle: Neutral (A/T for P range)
(2) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector (white).
NOTE
When the scan tool is connected, the diagnostic test mode
control terminal should be grounded.
MFI - Service Adjustment Procedures 13A-49
If not using the scan tool, proceed as follows:
a. Insert a paper clip into the I-pin blue connector as
shown in the illustration.
b. Connect a primary-voltage-detecting tachometer to

the paper clip.
1993 model:
c. Use a jumper wire to ground the diagnostic test mode
control terminal (terminal No. 10) of the data link con-
nector.
From 1994 model:

c. Use the special tool (diagnostic trouble code check
harness) to connect the diagnostic test mode control
terminal (terminal No. 1) of the 16-pin data link connec-
tor to ground.
(3) Remove the waterproof female connector from the ignition

timing adjustment connector.
(4) Use a jumper wire to ground the ignition timing adjustment
terminal.

13A-50 MFI c1.5L Engine> - Service Adjustment Procedures
(5) Start the engine and run at idle.
(6) Check the basic idle speed.
Standard value: 750 f 50 r/min.
NOTE
1. The engine speed may be 20 to 100 dmin. lower
than indicated above for a new vehicle [driven approxi-
mately 500 km (300 miles) or less], but no adjustment
is necessary.
2. If the engine stalls or the r/min. is low even though
the vehicle has been driven approximately 500 km
(300 miles) or more, it is probable that deposits are
adhered to the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to
P. 13A-46.)
(7) If not within the standard value range, turn the engine
speed adjusting screw (SAS) to make the necessary ad-
justment.
NOTE
If the idling speed is higher than the standard value range
even when the engine speed adjusting screw is fully closed.
check whether or not there is any indication that the fixed
SAS bas been moved. If there is an indication that it has
been moved, adjust the fixed SAS. If there are no indica-
tions that it has been moved, it is possible that there is
leakage as a result of deterioration of the fast idle air
valve (FIAV), and, if so the throttle body should be replaced
(8) Switch OFF the ignition switch.
(9) If the scan tool was not used, disconnect the jumper wire
from the diagnostic test mode control terminals.
(10)Disconnect the jumper wire from the ignition timing adjust-
ment terminal and return the connector to its original condi-
tion.
(11)Start the engine again and let it run at idle speed for
about ten minutes; check to be sure that the idling condition
is normal.

ates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects
and disconnects between 5V voltage supplied

ACTUATOR INSPECTION
Checking Operation Sound
Using a stethoscope or long blade screwdriver, check the
operation sound ("chi-chi-chi") of injectors during idling or dur-
ing cranking.
Check that as the engine speed increases, the frequency c
the operating sound also increases.
Caution
Note that even if the injector you are checking is no;
operating, you will hear the operating sound of the othe?
injectors.
NOTE
If no operating sound is heard from the injector that is bein;
checked, check the injector drive circuit. If there is nothi-;
wrong with the circuit, a defective injector or engine contrc
module is suspected.
Measurement of Resistance between Terminals

(1) Remove the injector connector.
(2) Measure the resistance between terminals.
Standard value: 13-16Q [at 20°C (68"F)I
(3) Install the injector connector.

FUEL PRESSURE TEST 110007349
(1) Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line to prevent
fuel spray. (Refer to P. 13A-50.)
(2) Disconnect the high pressure fuel hose at the fuel rail
side.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with shop towel to prevent
splash of fuel that could be caused by some residual
pressure in the fuel pipe line.
(3) Remove the union joint and bolt from the special tool
(adapter hose MD998709) and instead attach the special
tool (hose adapter MD998742) to the adapter hose.
(4) Install a fuel pressure gauge on the adapter hose that
was set up in step (3).
Use a suitable O-ring or gasket between the fuel pressure
i & MD998709
gauge and the special tool so as to seal in order to prevent
fuel leakage at this time.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE TERMINAL

VOLTAGE CHECK 110007350
(1) Connect the extremely fine probe (paper clip, etc.) to the
probe of the voltmeter.
(2) At each terminal of the engine control module connector,
insert the extremely fine probe from the wire side, and
measure the voltage referring to the check chart.
NOTE
1. In the state in which the connector of the engine control
module is connected, measure the voltage.
2. Measure the voltage across each terminal to the termi-
nal No. 26 (ground terminal).
3. You may find it convenient to pull out the engine control
module to make it easier to reach the connector termi-
nals.
4. Inspection need not be executed in the chart's se-
quence.
Caution
Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a con-
nector terminal and ground could damage the vehicle
wiring, the sensor, the engine control module, or all
,-. there. Use care to prevent this!
(3) If voltmeter shows any deviation from standard value,
check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related elec-
trical wiring, then repair or replace.
(4) After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter
to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

OPERATION
0 The evaporative emission purge solenoid is a
duty control type of one which controls introduc-
tion of purge air from the canister into the intake
manifold plenum.
0 The battery power is supplied to the evaporative
emission purge solenoid through the MFI relay.
When the engine control module turns ON the
power transistor in the module, current flows
to the coil, introducing purge air.
