19. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2238 and/or P2241* in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 18,
go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor
(Sensor 1) and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling
until a result comes on.

20. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

21. Reconnect all connectors.

22. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a

known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ).

23. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P2238 and/or P2241* indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the PCM. If the
PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then recheck.
If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 24.

24. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2238 and/or P2241 * in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the
original PCM (see PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated
in step 23, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor
(Sensor 1) and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see
SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen
indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.

DTC P2243: REAR A/F SENSOR (BANK 1, SENSOR 1) VCENT CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE; DTC
P2247: FRONT A/F SENSOR (BANK 2, SENSOR 1) VCENT CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

NOTE:



Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board
snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
