1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Warm up the engine and run the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume / Gas AF Control / AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2.
6. Perform the Control the Injection Volume operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
7. Monitor the voltage outputs of the air fuel ratio sensor and the heated oxygen sensor (AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2) displayed on the Techstream.

   HINT: 

   • Change the fuel injection volume within the range of -12% to +12%. 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 the sensor output voltage does not change (almost no reaction) while performing the Active Test, the sensor may be malfunctioning.

   Standard

   Techstream Display (Sensor)	Injection Volume	Status	Voltage
   AFS Voltage B1S1 (Air fuel ratio)	+12%	Rich	Below 3.1 V
   	-12%	Lean	Higher than 3.4 V
   O2S B1S2 (Heated oxygen)	+12%	Rich	Higher than 0.55 V
   	-12%	Lean	Below 0.4 V

   • Lean: During Control the Injection Volume, the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage (AFS Voltage B1S1) is consistently higher than 3.4 V, and the heated oxygen sensor output voltage (O2S B1S2) is consistently below 0.4 V.
   • Rich: During Control the Injection Volume, the AFS Voltage B1S1 is consistently below 3.1 V, and the O2S B1S2 is consistently higher than 0.55 V.
   • Lean/Rich: During Control the Injection Volume of the Active Test, the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor alternates correctly.

   HINT: 

   Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2]. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .

4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / MAF and Coolant Temp.
5. Allow the engine to idle until Coolant Temp reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
6. Read MAF with the engine speed at 3000 rpm.

   Standard

   Between 7.6 gm/sec. and 11.4 gm/sec. (Shift lever: Neutral, A/C: Off).
