   HINT: 

   • Change the fuel injection volume within the range of -12.0% and +12.0%. The injection volume can be changed in fine gradations.
   • The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
   • If there is almost no response from the air fuel ratio sensor, a malfunction of the air fuel ratio sensor is suspected.

   Standard

   Rich	Lean/Rich	Air fuel ratio sensor malfunction	-	Air fuel ratio sensor

   Lean: During Control the Injection Volume Active Test, the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage (AFS Voltage) is consistently higher than 3.4 V, and the heated oxygen sensor output voltage (O2S) is consistently below 0.4 V.

   Rich: During Control the Injection Volume Active Test, the AFS Voltage is consistently below 3.1 V, and the O2S is consistently higher than 0.55 V.

   Lean/Rich: During Control the Injection Volume Active Test of the Active Test, the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor alternates correctly.

   HINT:
