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

• Right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 
AD: Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 (right 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 

AD, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 (right rear).

a. Transaxle: 2nd speed
b. Drive with wide open throttle

c. Engine: 3,500 r/min

• The output voltages should be between 0.6 and 1.0 

volt.

(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 How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (rear). 

Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. 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 − Pattern 13 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0140 set?

YES : Refer to P0137 

− Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low 

Voltage (bank 1, sensor 2) 

P.13B-244

, DTC P0138 

− 

Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit High Voltage (bank 1, 
sensor 2) 

P.13B-250

.

NO :  The inspection is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the ECM (ter-
minal No. 38) 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 ECM (terminal 
No. 39).

• The ECM applies an offset voltage of 0.5 volt to 

terminal No. 2 of the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front).

.

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 ECM.

• When the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

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

• The ECM also checks for the left bank heated 

oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output 
voltage is under specified range.
