20. Replace the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) (see SECONDARY HO2S REPLACEMENT ).  

21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

22. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.  

23. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).  

24. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator 

fan comes on, then let it idle.  

25. Test-drive under the following conditions: 

z

Engine coolant temperature more than 158°F (70°C)  

z

A/T in D position (M/T in 5th gear)  

z

Engine speed at 2,000-3,000 RPM  

z

Drive about 10 minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds  

26. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? 

YES: If DTC P0138 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the 
secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . If any other Temporary 
DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting.  

NO: Go to step 27.  

27. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0138 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED? 

YES: Troubleshooting is complete.  

NO: If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the 
secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . If the screen indicates 
EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates Out of 
CONDITION, go to step 24 and recheck.  

28. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see 

HOW TO SUBSTITUTE THE ECM/PCM ).  

29. With engine at operating temperature, (the radiator fans come on) let the engine idle for 10 minutes. 

30. Test-drive under the following conditions: 

z

Engine coolant temperature more than 158°F (70°C)  

z

A/T in D position (M/T in 5th gear)  

z

Engine speed at 2,000-3,000 RPM  

z

Drive about 10 minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds  

31. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? 

YES: If DTC P0138 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the 
secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . If any other Temporary 
DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting.  

NO: If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was 
substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see HOW TO REMOVE THE ECM/PCM 
FOR TESTING ).
