MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-210

• At least 20 seconds have passed since fuel shut 

off control was canceled.

• Monitoring time: 10 seconds.

Judgement Criteria

• Making the air/fuel ratio 15 percent richer for 10 

seconds does not result in raising the heated oxy-
gen sensor (front) output voltage beyond 0.2 volt.

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

• Right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) failed.

• Short circuit in right bank heated oxygen sensor 

(front) output line.

• Connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MD998464: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 39: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 1 (right front).

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 

39, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 1 (right front).

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

output voltage should measure 0.6 to 1.0 volt.

• Warm up the engine. When the engine is idling, the out-

put voltage should repeat 0.4 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 : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

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

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor 
(front).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

connector B-09 and connect test harness special tool, 
MD998464, to the connector on the right bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature 

reaches 80

°C (176°F) or higher.

(3) Perform a tracing for 5 minutes or more with the engine 

speed of 4,500 r/min.

(4) Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 2 

(black clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the right 

bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.0 volt

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wire; 

incorrect connection can damage the oxygen sensor.

• Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of beyond 

8V is applied to the oxygen sensor heater.
NOTE: If the sufficiently high temperature (of approximate 
400

°

C or more) is not reached although the oxygen sensor 

is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low 
although the rich air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output volt-
age is low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No.1 
(red clip of special tool) and the terminal No. 3 (blue clip of 
special tool) of the oxygen sensor with a (+) terminal and (-) 
terminal of 8 V power supply respectively, then check again.

Q: Is the voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front). 

Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-09 at right bank 
heated oxygen sensor (front) and connector B-22 at PCM 
for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness
