OK or NG

1. OK : GO TO 2.
2. NG : Repair or replace ground connections.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Loosen and retighten the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

   Tightening torque: 40 - 60 N.m (4.1 - 6.1 kg-m, 30 - 44 ft-lb) 

1. : GO TO 3.

With CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Select "SELF-LEARNING CONT" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Clear the self-learning control coefficient by touching "CLEAR".
4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

   Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

Without CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector, and restart and run engine for at least 3 seconds at idle speed.
4. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
5. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
6. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ".
7. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
8. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

   Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

Check the following.

• Harness connectors E21, F34
• IPDM E/R harness connector E122
• 10A fuse
• Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

1. : Repair or replace harness or connectors.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to Wiring Diagram .
   A/F SENSOR 1 TERMINALS AND ECM TERMINALS
   
   

   A/F sensor 1 terminal	ECM terminal
   1	16
   5	35
   6	56
   2	75

   Continuity should exist. 

4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 16, 35, 56, 75 or A/F sensor 1 terminals 1, 2, 5, 6 and ground. Refer to Wiring Diagram .

   Continuity should not exist. 

5. Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG

1. OK : GO TO 8.
2. NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

OK or NG

1. OK : GO TO 9.
2. NG : Replace A/F sensor 1.

Preform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

OK or NG

1. OK : Replace A/F sensor 1.
2. NG : Repair or replace.
