MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L>

13B-372

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) deterio-

rated.

• Harness damage in left bank heated oxygen sen-

sor (front) output line.
NOTE: When the left bank heated oxygen sensor 
(front) begins to deteriorate, the left bank heated 
oxygen sensor output voltage will deviate from 
the voltage when the sensor was new (normally 
0.5 volt at stoichiometric ratio). This deviation will 
be corrected by the left bank heated oxygen sen-
sor (rear).

If the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) 
responds poorly because it has deteriorated, it 
will improperly correct the left bank heated oxy-
gen sensor (front). Thus, even when closed loop 
control is being effected, the fluctuation of the left 
bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage 
decreases, without intersecting with 0.5 volt. As a 
result, there is a possibility of DTC P0154 becom-
ing registered.

• ECM failed. <M/T>

• PCM failed. <A/T>

• Connector damage.

• Exhaust leak.

• Vacuum leak.

• Injector damage.

• Fuel pressure.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

• MB998464: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 59: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 2 (left rear).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

59, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 2 (left rear).

• Warming up the engine. When the engine is revved, the 

output voltage should repeat 0 volt and 0.6 to 1.0 volt 
alternately.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to, DTC P0157

STEP 2. Check the exhaust leaks.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 3. Check the intake system vacuum leak.
Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 4. Check connector B-24 at the left bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 5. Check the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front).
(1) Disconnect the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

connector B-24 and connect test harness special tool 
MD998464 to the connector on the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 80

°C (176°F) or 

higher.

CAUTION

Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incor-
rect connection can damage the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front).

(3) Use the jumper wires to connect terminal 1 (red clip) to the 

positive battery terminal and terminal 3 (blue clip) to the 
negative battery terminal.

(4) Connect a digital volt meter between terminal 2 (black clip) 

and terminal 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the left bank 

heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.0 volt

Q: Is the voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front). 

Then go to Step 12.

STEP 6. Check connector B-02, B-06, B-25 at left bank 
injector for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.
