MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-304

STEP 11. Check the trouble symptoms.

(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13B-6

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0141 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 12.
NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

. 

STEP 12. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13B-6

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0141 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 91) from the output terminal (terminal 
No. 4) of the left bank heated oxygen sensor 
(front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the left bank heated oxygen 

sensor (front) is grounded with or PCM (terminal 
No. 69).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

detects the concentration of oxygen in the 
exhaust gas; it converts that data to voltage, and 
sends it to the PCM.

• When the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen sensor 
signal response deteriorates also.

• The PCM forcibly varies the air/fuel mixture to 

make it leaner and richer, and checks the 
response speed of the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front). In addition, the PCM also checks 
for an open circuit in the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) circuit is 

switched to 5 volts intentionally when oxygen 
sensor output is low, and detects the malfunction 
if the output voltage changes to equal or greater 
than 4.5 volts. The above procedure is repeated 
when oxygen sensor is inactive.
