On-Vehicle Inspection
- INSPECT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 1)
- INSPECT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 2)
- INSPECT AIR-FUEL RATIO COMPENSATION SYSTEM
HINT:
Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function can help to determine whether the air-fuel ratio sensor, heated oxygen sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.
The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation using the Techstream.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and turn the Techstream ON.
- Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds.
- Enter the following menus: 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 air-fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors (AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or AFS B2 S1 and O2S B2 S2) displayed on the Techstream.
HINT:
- The 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.
Tester Display (Sensor) Injection Volume Status Voltage AFS B1 S1 or AFS B2 S1
(A/F)+25% Rich Less than 3.0 V AFS B1 S1 or AFS B2 S1
(A/F)-12.5% Lean More than 3.35 V O2S B1 S2 or O2S B2 S2
(HO2)+25% Rich More than 0.55 V O2S B1 S2 or O2S B2 S2
(HO2)-12.5% Lean Less than 0.4 V NOTE:The air-fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
Case A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Output Voltage HO2 Sensor (Sensor 2) Output Voltage Main Suspected Trouble Area 1 - 2 - A/F sensor
- A/F sensor heater
- A/F sensor circuit
3 - HO2 sensor
- HO2 sensor heater
- HO2 sensor circuit
4 - Injector
- Fuel pressure
- Gas leaks from exhaust system (Air-fuel ratio extremely rich or lean)
- Following the Control the Injection Volume for air-fuel ratio sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the air-fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors.
- To display the graph, enter the following menus: 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.
