PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

 With CONSULT-III

1.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

2.

Select “A/F SEN1 (B1)” or “A/F SEN1 (B2)” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.

3.

Check “A/F SEN1 (B1)” or “A/F SEN1 (B2)” indication.
If the indication is constantly approx. 2.2V and does not fluctuates, go to 

EC-599, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If the indication fluctuate around 2.2V, go to next step.

4.

SEN1” in “DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.

5.

Touch “START”.

6.

When the following conditions are met, “TESTING” will be displayed on the CONSULT-III screen.

If “TESTING” is not displayed after 20 seconds, retry from step 2.

7.

Release accelerator pedal fully.
NOTE:
Never apply brake when releasing the accelerator pedal.

8.

Check that “TESTING” changes to “COMPLETED”.
If “TESTING” changed to “OUT OF CONDITION”, retry from step 6.

9.

Check that “OK” is displayed after touching “SELF-DIAG RESULT”. 
If “NG” is displayed, go to 

EC-599, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Overall Function Check

INFOID:0000000005273573

PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the A/F sensor 1 circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC
might not be confirmed.

 With GST

1.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

2.

Drive the vehicle at a speed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) for a few minutes in the suitable gear position.

3.

Set D position with “OD” OFF (A/T) or 5th position (M/T), then release the accelerator pedal fully until the
vehicle speed decreases to 50 km/h (30 MPH).
NOTE:
Never apply brake during releasing the accelerator pedal.

4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for five times.

5.

Stop the vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF.

6.

Turn ignition switch ON.

7.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

8.

Restart engine.

9.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for five times.

10. Stop the vehicle and connect GST to the vehicle.
11. Check that no 1st trip DTC is displayed.

If the 1st trip DTC is displayed, go to 

EC-599, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Component Description

INFOID:0000000005273575

The air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is a planar one-cell limit current sen-
sor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor 1 is composed an elec-
trode layer, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement   = 1, but also in the
lean and rich range. Together with its control electronics, the sensor
outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a wide   range.
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion layer at
the sensor cell. An electrode layer is applied voltage, and this current
relative oxygen density in lean. Also this current relative hydrocar-
bon density in rich.
Therefore, the A/F sensor 1 is able to indicate air fuel ratio by this
electrode layer of current. In addition, a heater is integrated in the
sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of about 800

°

C

(1,472

°

F).

On Board Diagnosis Logic

INFOID:0000000005273576

To judge the malfunction, the diagnosis checks that the A/F signal computed by ECM from the air fuel ratio (A/
F) sensor 1 signal is not inordinately low.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

INFOID:0000000005273577

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conduct-
ing the next step.

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

2.

Turn ignition switch ON.

3.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.

 WITH CONSULT-III

1.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

2.

Select “A/F SEN1 (B1)” or “A/F SEN1 (B2)” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.

3.

Check “A/F SEN1 (B1)” or “A/F SEN1 (B2)” indication.
If the indication is constantly approx. 0V, go to 

EC-603, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If the indication is not constantly approx. 0V, go to next step.

4.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
