  3. DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B-1 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    Test condition: For better results, perform "DTC WORK SUPPORT" at a temperature of 0 to 30 deg.C (32 to 86 deg.F).

    1. Turn ignition switch ON and select "DATA MONITOR" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
    2. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
    3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    4. Restart engine and keep the engine speed between 3, 500 and 4, 000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
    5. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
    6. Check that "COOLANT TEMP/S" indicates more than 70 deg.C (158 deg.F).

      If not, warm up engine and go to next step when "COOLANT TEMP/S" indication reaches 70 deg.C (158 deg.F).

    7. Open engine hood.
    8. Select "HO2S2 (B1) P1146" of "HO2S2" in "DTC WORK SUPPORT" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
    9. Follow the instruction of CONSULT display.

    2. Perform DTC confirmation procedure again.

    GO TO 3.

  5. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK-1 

    SYMBOL Without CONSULT

    NOTE: Use component function check to check the overall function of the heated oxygen sensor 2 circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
    1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
