2.  Check 1st trip DTC.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-272, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE

With CONSULT

1.  Select “COOLAN TEMP/S” in “DATA MONITOR” of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.
2.  Check “COOLAN TEMP/S” value.

With GST

Follow the procedure “With CONSULT” above.

“COOLAN TEMP/S” less than 60°C (140°F)? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> GO TO 5.

5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A-2

With CONSULT

1.  Cool engine down until “COOLAN TEMP/S” is less than 60°C (140°F).
2.  Wait at least 10 seconds.
3.  Check 1st trip DTC.

With GST

Follow the procedure “With CONSULT” above.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-272, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> GO TO 6.

6.CHECK FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE (FTT) SENSOR

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.  Disconnect fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector.
3.  Remove fuel level sensor unit. Refer to FL-6, "Removal and Installation".
4.  Check resistance between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminals by heating with hot water as shown in the figure.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 9.

NO >> Proceed to EC-272, "Diagnosis Procedure".

7.PRECONDITIONING

If DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.  Turn ignition switch ON.
3.  Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

TESTING CONDITION:

•  Before performing the following procedure, do not add fuel.
•  Before performing the following procedure, check that fuel level is between 1/4 and 4/4.
•  Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle.

>> GO TO 8.

8.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE B

1.  Move the vehicle to a cool place.

   NOTE: Cool the vehicle in an environment of ambient air temperature between −10°C (14°F) and 35°C (95°F).

2.  Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle for 12 hours.

   CAUTION: Never turn ignition switch ON during this procedure.

   NOTE: The vehicle must be cooled with the food open.

3.  Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes or more.

   CAUTION:Never turn ignition switch off during idling.

4. Check 1st trip dtc.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-272, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

9.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Refer to GI-41, "Intermittent Incident".

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

1.INSPECTION START

Confirm the detected malfunction (A or B). Refer to EC-270, "DTC Description".

Which malfunction is detected? A >>GO TO 2.

B >>GO TO 6.

2.CHECK DTC WITH COMBINATION METER

Check DTC with combination meter. Refer to MWI-21, "CONSULT Function (METER/M&A)".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> Proceed to MWI-62, "Component Function Check".

3.CHECK FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE (FTT) SENSOR POWER

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.  Disconnect fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector.
3.  Turn ignition switch ON.
4.  Check the voltage between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector and ground.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.CHECK FUEL TANK TEMPERATURE (FTT) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.  Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3.  Check the continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector and ECM harness connector.

4. Also check harness for short to ground and to power.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

5.CHECK FTT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.  Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3.  Check the continuity between fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump harness connector and ECM harness connector.

4. Also check harness for short to power.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 6.
