•  CMP sensor malfunction
•  Ignition system malfunction
•  Improper engine compression
•  Improper fuel injection timing and amount
Warning
•  The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before servicing the fuel system:
―  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 injuries 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 1.8, MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5].) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR 1.8, MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5].)
Caution
•  Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may cause damage to the fuel pipe and the quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
What color is the smoke coming from the exhaust system?
Blue
Burning oil is indicated:
•  Go to the next step.
White
Water in the combustion is indicated:

2
Inspect the PCV valve.
Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the PCV valve and the oil separator as a single unit, then go to the next step.
No
Inspect the following:
•  Blocked oil drain passage in the cylinder head
•  Damaged cylinder bore
•  Damaged valve guide, stems or valve seals
•  Piston ring is not seated, seized or worn.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
•  If other drivability symptoms are present:
―  Return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
3
Does the cooling system hold pressure?
Yes
Inspect the following:
•  Cracked or porous engine block
•  Cylinder head gasket leakage
•  Intake manifold gasket leakage
If other drivability symptoms are present:
•  Return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
No
Inspect for cause.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
4
Inspect the following:
•  Air cleaner restriction
•  Collapsed or restricted intake air system
•  Restricted fuel return line
Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
Repeat Step 4.
No
Go to the next step.
5
Perform the PCM DTC inspection using the M-MDS.
Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
6
Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
•  APP1
•  APP2
•  ECT
•  IAT
•  MAF
•  MAP
•  O2S11
•  O2S12
•  TP1
•  TP2
•  VSS
Monitor the PIDs under the black smoke appeared engine condition.
Do the PIDs indicate normal according to engine conditions?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
APP1, APP2 PIDs are not specified:
•  Inspect if the output signal from the APP sensor changes smoothly.
ECT PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the ECT sensor and the related wiring harness.
IAT PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the IAT sensor and the related wiring harness.
MAF PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the MAF sensor and the related wiring harness.
MAP PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the MAP sensor and the related wiring harness.
O2S11 PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the A/F sensor and the related wiring harness.
O2S12 PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit of the HO2S and the related wiring harness.
TP1, TP2 PIDs are not specified:
•  Inspect if the output signal from the TP sensor changes smoothly.
VSS PID is not specified:
•  Inspect for an intermittent open circuit in the VSS and related wiring harness.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
7
Caution
•  While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
•  When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later.
Access the same PIDs as Step 6 using the M-MDS under the trouble condition.
Do the PIDs indicate the correct values under the trouble condition?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
•  If the malfunction remains:
―  Perform the “INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING” procedure.
8
