• Fuel pressure limiter malfunction (built-in common rail)
• Fuel filter clogging
• Fuel line restriction
• Incorrect fuel injection timing
• Erratic signal from CKP sensor
• Erratic signal from CMP sensor
• ECT sensor or related circuit malfunction
• Boost sensor or related circuit malfunction
• Idle switch misadjustment
• Idle switch or related circuit malfunction
• Accelerator pedal position sensor misadjustment
• Accelerator pedal position sensor or related circuit malfunction
• MAF/IAT sensor malfunction
• Neutral switch or related circuit malfunction
• Supply pump malfunction
• Fuel injector malfunction
• Low engine compression
• Improper valve timing
• Engine compression excessive unbalance for each cylinder
• Unbalanced fuel injection amount for each cylinder

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION" and "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION" described in this manual.
(See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)
(See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
Inspect for the following:
• Fuel quality (e.g.: including water contamination, winter/summer blend)
• Fuel line/fuel filter clogging
• Loose bands on intake-air system
• Cracks on intake-air system parts
• Intake-air system restriction
• Vacuum leakage
Are all items normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Service if necessary
Repeat Step 1.
2
Is the engine overheating?
Yes
Go to symptom troubleshooting "NO.17 COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING."
No
Go to the next step.
3
Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
Retrieve any DTC.
Is DTC displayed?
Yes

DTC is displayed:

Go to the applicable DTC inspection.

Communication error message is displayed:

Inspect for the following:
• Open circuit between PCM control relay and PCM terminal 53 or 79
• Open circuit PCM control relay and PCM terminal 69
• PCM control relay stuck open
• Open or poor GND circuit (PCM terminal 65, 85, 103 or 104)
• Poor connection vehicle body GND
No

No DTC is displayed:

Go to the next step.
4
Does the engine run normal after warm up?
Yes
Inspect the glow system operation.
Replace the malfunctioning part if necessary.
If the glow system is normal, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
Note
• The the following test should be performed on the vehicles with the A/C system. If the following test cannot be performed due to the engine stalling, go to the next step.
• Go to the next step for the vehicle without the A/C system.
Connect pressure gauge to A/C line.
Turn the blower and the A/C switches on.
Is pressure within the specifications?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No

A/C is always on:

Go to symptom troubleshooting "NO.24 A/C ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY".

Other symptoms:

Inspect for the following:
• Refrigerant charging amount
• Cooling fan and/or condenser fan operation
6
Depress the accelerator pedal slightly.
Crank the engine.
Does the engine start now?
Yes
Inspect idle speed.
No
Go to the next step.
7
Inspect the adjustment of the accelerator pedal position sensor and the idle switch.
Are the accelerator pedal position sensor and the idle switch adjusted correctly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Adjust the accelerator pedal position sensor and the idle switch correctly.
8
Inspect for fuel leakage from the fuel pipe.
Is any fuel leakage found on the fuel pipe?
Yes
Repair or replace if necessary.
No
Go to the next step.
9
Visually inspect the CKP sensor and teeth of the pulse wheel.
Are the CKP sensor and teeth of the pulse wheel normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the malfunctioning parts.
10
Measure the gap between the CKP sensor and teeth of the pulse wheel.

Specification

1.5-2.5 mm {0.059-0.098 in}

Is the gap within the specification?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Adjust the CKP sensor position.
11
Visually inspect the CMP sensor and teeth of the pulse wheel.
Are the CMP sensor and teeth of the pulse wheel normal?
Yes
Inspect the following PIDs:
• ECT
• IAT
• MAF
• MAP
• RPM
If PID value is not as specified, repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If PID value is normal, go to the next step.
No
Replace malfunctioning parts.
12
Inspect the fuel pressure sensor.
Is the fuel pressure normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the common rail.
13
Inspect the suction control valve.
Is the suction control valve normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the supply pump.
14
Is the engine compression correct?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect for the following:
• Damaged valve seat
• Worn valve stem and valve guide
• Worn or stuck piston ring
• Worn piston, piston ring or cylinder
• Improper valve timing
Service if necessary.
15
Inspect the fuel injector.
Is the fuel injector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace if necessary.
16
Inspect the EGR system operation.
Is the EGR system operation normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the EGR system operation results.
17
Inspect the EGR water cooler for the following:
• Coolant passage clogging/restriction
• Exhaust gas clogging/restriction
Is the EGR water cooler normal?
Yes
Remove and inspect the supply pump and the common rail.
No
Service if necessary.
18
Verify test results.
• If normal, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
• If malfunction remains, replace the PCM. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)
