7. INSPECTION PROCEDURE USING
OSCILLOSCOPE
7-1 AIR FLOW SENSOR (AFS)
Observing waveforms displayed on the oscilloscope allows
you to visually identify possible unusual disturbances in
waveform that could temporarily occur in the air flow sensor
output.
<Measurement procedure>
(1) Disconnect the air flow sensor connector and connect
the special tool (Test Harness: MB991709) to it. (Ensure
that all terminals are connected.)
(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to terminal no. 3 of air
flow sensor connector.
NOTE
If the engine ECU connector is used, connect the
oscilloscope probe to terminal no. 90.
(3) Perform the same steps from here on as with the 4G9
engine.
7-2 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK
ANGLE SENSOR
Perform the same steps as with the conventional 4G9 engine
for the inspection.
7-3 INJECTOR
Observing waveforms displayed on the oscilloscope allows
you to visually check the conditions of injector drive signals
actually output from the engine ECU.
Injector Control Signal (Oscilloscope 1)
<Measurement procedure>
(1) Disconnect the injector connector and connect the special
tool (Test Harness: MB991348) to the circuit. (Ensure
that the terminals on both the power supply and engine
ECU sides are connected.)
(2) Connect the oscilloscope probe to terminal no. 2 of injector
connector.
NOTE
If the engine ECU connector is used for the measurement,
take measurements at each of the following terminals.
Connect the oscilloscope probe to terminal no. 1 when
the waveform is observed with no. 1 cylinder, to terminal
no. 14 when the waveform is observed with no. 2 cylinder,
to terminal no. 2 when the waveform is observed with
no. 3 cylinder, and to terminal no. 15 when the waveform
is observed with no. 4 cylinder.

3. Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair
drier.

resistance remains unchanged, replace the air flow sensor
assembly.

3. WASTEGATE ACTUATOR CHECK
(1) Connect a hand pump (pressure type) to the nipple.
(2) Gradually increase the pressure being applied to check
for the pressure at which the wastegate actuator rod starts
moving (approx. 1 mm stroke).
Standard value: Approx. 100 kPa {1.02 kg/cm
2}
Caution
Do not apply a pressure more than 120 kPa {1.23
kg/cm
2} to prevent the diaphragm from being
damaged.
(3) If the pressure drastically deviates from the standard
value, check the actuator or wastegate valve and, if
necessary, replace the actuator or turbocharger assembly.
4. WASTEGATE SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
4-1 OPERATION CHECK
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple A of the solenoid
valve.
(2) Using jumper wires, connect the solenoid valve terminal
to battery terminals.
