DTC P0138, P0158 HO2S2

EC-303

Check the voltage when revving up to 4,000 rpm under no load
at least 10 times.
(Depress and release accelerator pedal as soon as possible.)
The voltage should be above 0.78V at least once during this
procedure.
If the voltage is above 0.78V at step 6, step 7 is not neces-
sary.

Keep vehicle at idling for 10 minutes, then check voltage. Or
check the voltage when coasting from 80 km/h (50 MPH) in D
position.
The voltage should be below 0.18V at least once during this
procedure.

If NG, replace heated oxygen sensor 2.

CAUTION:

●

Discard any heated oxygen 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 oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads (using Oxygen Sensor Thread
Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12) and approved anti-seize lubricant.

PFP:226A0

Component Description

NBS002XX

The heated oxygen sensor 2, after three way catalyst (manifold),
monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank.
Even if switching characteristics of the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1
are shifted, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric, by the sig-
nal from the heated oxygen sensor 2.
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates volt-
age from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner condi-
tions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 is not used for
engine control operation.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode

NBS001UY

Specification data are reference values.

On Board Diagnosis Logic

NBS001UZ

The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time
between rich and lean than the A/F sensor 1. The oxygen storage
capacity of the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the longer
switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor
2, ECM monitors whether the switching response of the sensor's
voltage is faster than specified during the various driving condition
such as fuel-cut.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NBS001V0

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

WITH CONSULT-II

TESTING CONDITION:
For better results, perform “DTC WORK SUPPORT” at a temperature of 0 to 30

C (32 to 86

F).

Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with
CONSULT-II.

Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating tempera-
ture.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and
4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.

Let engine idle for 1 minute.

Make sure that “COOLAN TEMP/S” indicates more than 70

(158

F).

If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLAN
TEMP/S” indication reaches to 70

C (158

F).

Select “HO2S2 (B1) P0139” or “HO2S2 (B2) P0159” of “HO2S2” in “DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode with
CONSULT-II.

Start engine and following the instruction of CONSULT-II.

NOTE:
It will take at most 10 minutes until “COMPLETED” is displayed.

Make sure that “OK” is displayed after touching “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
If “NG” is displayed, refer to

EC-310, "Diagnostic Procedure"

If “CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED” is displayed, perform the following.

Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle in a cool place (soak the vehicle).

Return to step 1.

Overall Function Check

NBS001V1

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the heated oxygen sensor 2 circuit. During this check, a 1st
trip DTC might not be confirmed.

WITH GST

Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.

Let engine idle for 1 minute.

Set voltmeter probes between ECM terminal 55 [HO2S2 (B1) signal] or 74 [HO2S2 (B2) signal] and
ground.

DTC P0139, P0159 HO2S2

Check the voltage when revving up to 4,000 rpm under no load
at least 10 times.
(Depress and release accelerator pedal as soon as possible.)
A change of voltage should be more than 0.06V for 1 sec-
ond during this procedure.
If the voltage can be confirmed in step 6, step 7 is not nec-
essary.

Keep vehicle at idling for 10 minutes, then check the voltage. Or
check the voltage when coasting from 80 km/h (50 MPH) in D
position.
A change of voltage should be more than 0.06V for 1 sec-
ond during this procedure.
