Inspection Procedure

NOTE:

Hand-held tester only:

Narrowing down the trouble area is possible by performing "A/F CONTROL" ACTIVE TEST (heated oxygen sensor or other trouble areas can be distinguished).

  1. Perform ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester (A/F CONTROL).
    NOTE:

    "A/F CONTROL" is the ACTIVE TEST which changes the injection volume to -12.5 % or +25 %.

    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Warm up the engine by running the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds.
    4. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL".
    5. Perform "A/F CONTROL" with the engine in an idle condition (press the right or left button).

      Result: 

      Heated oxygen sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume +25 % --> rich output: More than 0.5 V, -12.5 % --> lean output: Less than 0.4 V 

    NOTE: There is a delay of few seconds in the sensor 1 (front sensor) output, and there is about 20 seconds delay at maximum in the sensor 2 (rear sensor)

    The following of A/F CONTROL procedure enables the technician to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the heated oxygen sensors.

    For displaying the graph indication, enter "ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL / USER DATA," then select "O2S B1S1 and O2S B1S2" by pressing "YES" button and push "ENTER" button before pressing "F4" button.

    NOTE:
    • If different DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may be open.
    • Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
    • A high heated oxygen sensor (sensor 1) voltage (0.5 V or more) could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
    • A low heated oxygen sensor (sensor 1) voltage (0.4 V or less) could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
  1. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT(IN ADDITION TO DTC P0134) 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
    3. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES."
    4. Read the DTCs.

    4. Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature above 75°C (169°F).
    5. Read the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor when the engine speed is suddenly increased.
      NOTE:

      Quickly accelerate the engine to 4,000 RPM 3 times by using the accelerator pedal.

      Standard: 

      Heated oxygen sensor outputs a RICH signal (0.45 V or more) at least once.

    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  4. INSPECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR(HEATER RESISTANCE) 
    1. Disconnect the H5 heated oxygen sensor connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the heated oxygen sensor connector.
