Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
3. Check harness connector for water.

Water should not exit.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 2.

NO >> Repair or replace harness connector.

2.RETIGHTEN A/F SENSOR 1 AND HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 2

Loosen and retighten the A/F sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2. Refer to EM-30, "Exploded View", EX-5, "Exploded View".

>> GO TO 3.

3.CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

1. Start engine and run it at idle.
2. Listen for an exhaust gas leak before the three way catalyst 2.

Is exhaust gas leak detected? YES >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAK

1. Reconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
2. Start engine and run it at idle.
3. Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

Is intake air leak detected? YES >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

NO >> GO TO 5.

5.CLEAR THE MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE

1. Clear the mixture ratio self-learning value. Refer to EC-142, "Work Procedure".
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

Is the 1st trip DTC P0171 or P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine? YES >> Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171 or P0172. Refer to EC-246, "DTC Logic" or EC-250, "DTC Logic".

NO >> GO TO 6.

6.CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check the voltage between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground.

*1: Except California

*2: For California

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 8.

NO >> GO TO 7.

7.CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF
2. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.
3. Check the continuity between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.

*1: Except California

*2: For California

4. Also check harness for short to ground.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

8.CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check the continuity between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ECM harness connector.

*1: Except California

*2: For California

4. Check the continuity between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground, or ECM harness connector and ground.

*1: Except California

*2: For California

5. Also check harness for short to power.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 9.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

9.CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 HEATER

Check the A/F sensor 1 heater. Refer to EC-177, "Component Inspection (A/F Sensor 1 Heater)".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 10.

NO >> GO TO 12.

10.CHECK HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 2

Check heated oxygen sensor 2. Refer to EC-223, "Component Inspection (HO2S2)".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 11.

NO >> Replace heated oxygen sensor 2. Refer to EX-5, "Exploded View".

11.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Perform GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 12.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

12.REPLACE AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1

Replace air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. Refer to EM-30, "Exploded View".

CAUTION:

• Discard any sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.

• Before installing new sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner [commercial service tool (J-43897-18 or J-43897-12)] and approved Anti-seize Lubricant (commercial service tool).
