Diagnostic Procedure

RETIGHTEN AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1
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 2.
CLEAR THE SELF-LEARNING DATA.
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 P0171 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

Yes or No
1. Yes: perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171. Refer to DTC P0171 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION .
2. No: GO TO 3.
CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector and A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

  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 4.
2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 HEATER
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 5.
2. NG: Replace A/F sensor 1.
CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

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