DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E5, F14
- IPDM E/R harness connector E122
- 15A fuse
- Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse
: Repair or replace harness or connectors.

CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM harness connector.

Check harness continuity between the following terminals.

Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

CONNECTOR TERMINAL CONTINUITY SPECIFICATION

	A/F sensor 1 terminal	ECM terminal

	5	35
	6	56
Bank 2	1	76
	2	77
	5	57
	6	58

Continuity should exist.

Check harness continuity between the following terminals and ground.

Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

CONNECTOR TERMINAL CONTINUITY SPECIFICATION

2	75	2	77
5	35	5	57
6	56	6	58

Continuity should not exist.

Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 5.

NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 6.

NG: Repair or replace.
REPLACE AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1
Replace malfunctioning air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.
CAUTION:
- Discard any air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
- Before installing new air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Heated Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
