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.

Go to the next step.
5
Note
•  The following test should be performed on the 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 vehicles without n A/C system
Connect the pressure gauge to the A/C line.
Turn the blower and A/C switches on.
Is the pressure within the specifications?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
A/C is always on:
Go to the symptom troubleshooting “NO.26 A/C ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY [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:

•  Cooling fan operation
6
Access the ECT PID.
Drive the vehicle while monitoring the PID.
Is the PID within the specification?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect for coolant leakage, cooling fan operation or thermostat operation.
7
Inspect the idle speed.
(See ENGINE TUNE-UP [MZR-CD (RF Turbo)].)
Is the idle speed normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.

•  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
•  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.
