1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the

radiator fan comes on.

2. Drive the vehicle at a speed between 25 - 55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for at least 5 minutes.

3. Then, drive immediately at a steady speed between 55 - 75 mph (88 - 120 km/h) for at least 10

seconds.

4. Decelerate with the throttle valve fully closed for at least 6 seconds.



If the EVAP monitor runs instead of the HO2S monitor, turn the engine off, then restart it, and the
HO2S monitor will restart.



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM
memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and
the freeze frame data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the
diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool
Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.

General Description

The front air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (bank 2, sensor 1) has a linear signal output in relation to the oxygen
concentration. The powertrain control module (PCM) computes the air/fuel ratio from the front A/F sensor
output voltage and uses the fuel feedback control to improve exhaust emissions. The PCM monitors the
front A/F sensor output voltage during deceleration with the throttle fully closed, and if the output voltage
deviates greatly from normal oxygen concentration levels, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

* Output to the scan tool exhibits a relationship between the front A/F sensor output and oxygen
concentration, which is opposite to the characteristic shown in the graph. That is, a deviation toward the rich
side increases the output voltage and one toward the lean side decreases the output voltage as the
stoichiometric ratio is 0.
