STEP 10. Check harness between B-112 (terminal 
No. 3) oxygen sensor (front) connector and C-136 
(terminal No. 60) engine-ECU connector.

œ

Check earthing line for damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 11 .

NO : 

Repair.

STEP 11. Check the trouble symptoms.

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES : 

Replace engine-ECU.

NO :

13A-72

Code No. P0136: Oxygen Sensor (Rear) System <Sensor 2>

OPERATION

œ

The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU 
(terminal No. 75) from the oxygen sensor (rear) 
output terminal (terminal No. 4).

œ

The oxygen sensor (rear) (terminal No. 3) is 
earthed with engine-ECU (terminal No. 92).

FUNCTION

œ

The oxygen sensor (rear) converts the concentra-
tion of oxygen in the exhaust emission into a volt-
age signal and inputs the voltage signal to the 
engine-ECU.

œ

When the air-fuel ratio is richer than the theoreti-
cal air-fuel ratio, the oxygen sensor (rear) outputs 
a voltage of about 1 V. When it is leaner than the 
theoretical air-fuel ratio, it outputs a voltage of 
about 0 V.

œ

In response to the signal, the engine-ECU con-
trols the fuel infection amount so that the air-fuel 
ratio can be equivalent to the theoretical air-fuel 
ratio.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

œ

Above 3 minutes later after the engine has 
started up.

œ

The engine coolant temperature is approximately. 
82

•

C or higher.

œ

The engine speed is 1,200 r/min or more.

œ

The volumetric efficiency is 25% or more.

œ

The monitoring time is 5 seconds.

Judgment Criteria

œ

When the oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage is 
0.2 V or less and a power voltage of 5 V is 
applied to the oxygen sensor (rear) in the engine-
ECU, the sensor output voltage is 4.5 V or more.

PROBABLE CAUSE

œ

Failed oxygen sensor

œ

Open/short circuit in oxygen sensor (rear) circuit 
or loose connector contact

œ

Failed engine-ECU
