INTERMITTENT DTCS.
DTC P0170 & P0173: FUEL TRIM FAILURE
NOTE: For terminal identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION. For
circuit and wire color identification, see
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
1) Specific self-diagnostic test not available from
manufacturer at time of publication. Check volume airflow sensor, fuel
injectors, engine coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature
sensor, barometric or manifold absolute pressure sensor, heated oxygen
sensor. See appropriate DTC test. Check related connectors and
harnesses. See L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
2) Also check fuel pressure, check for intake air leaks, and
for cracked manifold. See F - BASIC TESTING article.
DTC P0201-P0206: FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT FAILURE
NOTE: For terminal identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION. For
circuit and wire color identification, see
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
1) If using scan tool, go to step 3). Using a stethoscope or
long-bladed screwdriver, listen for clicking sound from each fuel
injector while engine is running or being cranked. If no sound is
heard from fuel injector(s), check fuel injector connections. Repair
connections as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
2) Ensure engine coolant temperature is at 68
F (20C).
Disconnect fuel injector connector. Using DVOM, check resistance
between specified fuel injector terminals. See
FUEL INJECTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. If resistance is not 2.0-
3.0 3000GT turbo or 13-16 ohms on all other models, replace fuel
injector(s). If resistance is as specified, go to step 6).

3) Connect an engine tachometer. Crank engine. Ensure
ignition coil primary current toggles on and off. Using scan tool,
read engine cranking speed (item 22). Compare tachometer and scan tool\
RPM display. Go to next step.
4) If engine fails to start and tachometer reads zero RPM
when engine is cranked, check for broken timing belt or faulty CKP
sensor. If CKP sensor is suspected, substitute known-good CKP sensor.

as specified, replace fuel tank filler tube assembly. Go to step 24).
2) Disconnect and plug air filter-to-EVAP vent solenoid hose
at air filter. Disconnect intake manifold plenum-to-EVAP purge
solenoid at intake manifold plenum. Install a "T" fitting between
vacuum hose and intake manifold plenum. Connect a hand-held
pressure/vacuum pump to "T" fitting. Go to next step.
CAUTION: DO NOT apply more than 0.57 psi in following step. Applying
more than specified psi can crack fuel tank.
NOTE: Ensure fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. The lower the fuel
level in fuel tank, the longer it takes to pressurize fuel
system.
3) Using scan tool, read Fuel Tank Differential Pressure
(FTDP) sensor (item 73). Using hand-held pressure/vacuum pump, apply\
0.42 psi. If scan tool reading reaches 0.42 psi, go to next step. If
reading does not reach 0.42 psi, go to step 9).
4) Wait 20 seconds and read scan tool. If scan tool reading
increases 0.06 psi or less, go to next step. If scan tool reading
increases more than 0.06 psi, go to step 21).
5) Disconnect EVAP canister purge hose. Connect Purge Flow
Indicator (MB995061) between EVAP canister and disconnected hose. Turn\
engine on and allow it to reach operating temperature. Turn all lights
and accessories off. Place transmission in Park or Neutral. Observe
purge flow indicator while increasing engine RPM several times. If
purge flow indicator reads less than 2.5 SCFH (20 cm(3)/sec), check
EVAP canister purge hose and EVAP canister port for clogging. If hose
and port are okay, check EVAP purge solenoid. See DTC P0443. If
solenoid is okay, replace EVAP canister. Go to step 24).

drops less than 0.20 psi, go to next step. If pressure drops 0.29 psi
or more, go to step 13).
11) Disconnect EVAP purge solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose at
EVAP canister. Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum pump to hose and

step 24). If pressure is maintained, go to next step.
12) Disconnect EVAP vent solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose at
EVAP canister. Connect hand-held pressure/vacuum pump to hose and
apply 0.9 psi. If pressure is not maintained, check EVAP vent solenoid

position. Check voltage between chassis ground and MDP sensor
connector terminal No. 3. If voltage is not 4.8-5.2 volts, replace
PCM. If voltage is as specified, condition required to set DTC is not
present at this time. Go to next step.
6) Test is complete. Intermittent problem may exist. Road
test vehicle (if necessary) and attempt to duplicate conditions that
caused original complaint. Recheck for DTCs. If no DTCs are displayed,
go to INTERMITTENT DTCS .

SUMMARY
If no hard DTCs (or only pass DTCs) are present, driveability\
symptoms exist, or intermittent DTCs exist, proceed to H - TESTS W/O
CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START,
etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
Page 778 of 1501
REFILLING
To prevent air from being trapped in engine block, engine
should be running when refilling cooling system. After system is full,
continue running engine until thermostat is open, then recheck fill
level. Do not overfill system.
TESTING
THERMOSTAT
1) Visually inspect thermostat for corrosion and proper
sealing of valve and seat. If okay, suspend thermostat and thermometer
in a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water. See Fig. 1. Do not allow
thermostat or thermometer to touch bottom of container. Heat water
until thermostat just begins to open.
2) Read temperature on thermometer. This is the initial
opening temperature and should be within specification. Continue
heating water until thermostat is fully open and note temperature.
This is the fully opened temperature. If either reading is not to
specification, replace thermostat.

INTRODUCTION
Before using this article to diagnose symptoms or
intermittent faults, perform testing in F - BASIC TESTING article and
G - TESTS W/CODES article. Use this article to diagnose driveability
problems existing when a hard Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is not
present.
NOTE: Some driveability problems may have been corrected by
manufacturer with a revised Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Check with manufacturer for latest PCM.
Symptom checks can direct technician to malfunctioning
component(s) for further diagnosis. A symptom should lead to a
specific component, system test or adjustment.
Use intermittent test procedures to locate driveability
problems that DO NOT occur when vehicle is being tested. These test
procedures should also be used if an intermittent DTC was present, but
no problem was found during self-diagnostic testing.
NOTE: For specific testing procedures, see G - TESTS W/CODES
article. For specifications, see D - ADJUSTMENTS or
C - SPECIFICATIONS article.

INTERMITTENTS
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
Intermittent fault testing requires duplicating circuit or
component failure to identify problem. These procedures may lead to
computer setting a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) which may help in
diagnosis.
If problem vehicle does not produce DTCs, monitor voltage or
resistance values using a DVOM while attempting to reproduce
conditions causing intermittent fault. A status change on DVOM
