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 REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	Is the idle speed stable?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1	Is the idle speed stable?	No	Go to symptom troubleshooting “NO.10 ENGINE RUNS ROUGH/ROLLING IDLE [MZR-CD (RF-Turbo)]”. (See NO.10 ENGINE RUNS ROUGH/ROLLING IDLE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)
2	Is the engine overheating?	Yes	Go to symptom troubleshooting “NO.19 COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS—OVERHEATING [MZR-CD (RF-Turbo)]”. (See NO.19 COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)

(See DTC TABLE [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) Communication error message is displayed: Inspect the following: • Open circuit between PCM control relay and PCM terminal 119 or 120 • Open circuit PCM control relay and PCM terminal 105 • PCM control relay stuck open • Open or poor ground circuit (PCM terminal 1, 2, 3, 114 or 117) • Poor connection to vehicle body ground
3		No	No DTC is displayed: Go to the next step.
4	Inspect the following: • Fuel quality (e.g.: including water contamination, winter/summer blend) • Fuel line/fuel filter clogging and/or restriction • Intake-air system restriction or clogging • Exhaust system and/or oxidation catalytic converter restriction • Cooling fan seat Are all items normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Service if necessary. Repeat Step 4.
5	Does the engine run normal after warm-up?	Yes	Inspect the glow system operation. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) Replace any malfunctioning part if necessary. If the glow system is normal, go to the next step.
5	Does the engine run normal after warm-up?	No	Go to the next step.
6	Note • The following test should be performed on vehicles with an A/C system. If the following test cannot be performed due to engine stalling, go to the next step. • Go to the next step for the vehicles an without A/C system. Connect the pressure gauge to A/C line. Turn the blower and A/C switches on. Is the pressure within specifications?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	A/C is always on: Go to the symptom troubleshooting “NO.26 A/C ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUITY [MZR-CD (RF-Turbo)]”. (See NO.26 A/C ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) Other symptoms: Inspect the following: • Refrigerant charging amount • Cooling fan operation
7	Inspect the hose bands between the following parts: • Turbocharger compressor housing and air cleaner • Turbocharger compressor housing and charge air cooler Are the hose bands loose?	Yes	Retighten the hose bands. If the concern is resolved, the inspection is complete. If the concern still exists, go to the next step.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	Inspect for improper operation, kinks, clogging or disconnection on the guide blade actuator. Is the guide blade actuator normal?	Yes	Turbocharger is normal. Go to the next step.
8		No	Repair or replace if necessary. If concern is resolved, the inspection is complete. If concern still exists, the turbocharger is normal. Go to the next step.
9	Perform the EGR system inspection. Is the EGR system normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.

18	Is the engine compression correct? (See COMPRESSION INSPECTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
18		No	Inspect 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.
19	Inspect fuel injector. (See FUEL INJECTOR INSPECTION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) Is the fuel injector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
19		No	Repair or replace if necessary. (See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)
20	Inspect the timing belt for the following: • Chipping of gear teeth • Low tension • Breakage damage or cracks Is the timing belt normal?	Yes	Inspect the following: • Clutch slippage • CKP sensor • VSS If normal, remove and inspect the supply pump and common rail.
20		No	If the timing is incorrect, adjust the valve timing. If the timing belt is not normal, replace the timing belt.
21	Verify test results. • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].) • If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. ― If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed. ― If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if later calibration is available. Retest.
