On-Vehicle Inspection
- INSPECT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR
- Disconnect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
AIR FUEL RATIO SENSORTester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 (HT) - 2 (+B) 20°C (68°F) 1.8 to 3.4 Ω If the result is not as specified, replace the air fuel ratio sensor.
- INSPECT AIR-FUEL RATIO COMPENSATION SYSTEM
HINT:
Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the A/F CONTROLS (Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor*2) function provided in the Active Test. The A/F CONTROL (Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor) function can help to determine whether the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning. The following instructions describe how to conduct the A/F CONTROL (Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor) operation using the Intelligent tester or Techstream.
*1: Intelligent tester
*2: Techstream
- Connect the Intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
- Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
- On the tester, enter the following menus:
- Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL.
- Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor.
- Perform the Active Test operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
- Monitor the output voltages of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or AFS B2 S1 and O2S B2 S2) displayed on the tester.
HINT:
- The A/F CONTROL (Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor) operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
- Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.AIR-FUEL RATIO COMPENSATION SYSTEM

- A/F sensor heater
- A/F sensor circuit

- Fuel pressure
- Gas leakage from exhaust system (Air-fuel ratio extremely rich or lean)
- Following the A/F CONTROL or Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the A/ F and HO2 sensors.
- To display the graph, enter the following menus:
- Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL / A/F CONTROL SYS / AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or AFS B2 S1 and O2S B2 S2; then press the YES button and the ENTER button followed by the F4 button.
- Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / A/ F Control System / AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or AFS B2 S1 and O2S B2 S2.
