WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
- Let engine idle for 1 minute.
- Open engine hood.
- Set voltmeters probes between ECM terminals 35 [HO2S1 (bank 1) signal], 16 [HO2S1 (bank 2) signal] and ground, and ECM terminals 74 [HO2S2 (bank 1) signal], 55 [HO2S2 (bank 2) signal] and ground.
- Keep engine speed at 2,000 rpm constant under no load.
- Make sure that the voltage switching frequency (high & low) between ECM terminals 74 and ground, or 55 and ground is very less than that of ECM terminals 35 and ground, or 16 and ground.
Switching frequency ratio = A/B
A: Heated oxygen sensor 2 voltage switching frequency
B: Heated oxygen sensor 1 voltage switching frequency
This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, it means three way catalyst 1 does not operate properly. Go to "Diagnostic Procedure ".
NOTE:
If the voltage at terminal 35 or 16 does not switch periodically more than 5 times within 10 seconds at step 7, perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0133, P0153 first. (See DTC P0133, P0153 HO2S1 ).
