  1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM Description When troubleshooting On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) vehicles, the vehicle must be connected to the OBD II scan tool (in compliance with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester. Various data output from the vehicle's ECM can then be read. OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's onboard computer illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in: 1) the emission control system/components, or 2) the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions), or 3) the computer. In addition, the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory (see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-181812-S02039846342005080500000) ). If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL goes off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory. To check DTCs, connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. The hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool also enables you to erase the DTC and check the freeze frame data and various forms of engine data (see the instruction manual for the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester). The DTC includes SAE controlled codes and manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must be set according to the SAE, while manufacturer controlled codes can be set by a manufacturer with certain restrictions (See DTC chart «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-181812-S02039846342005080500000) ). The diagnosis system operates in normal mode during normal vehicle use. In "normal mode", 2 trip detection logic* is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. A "check mode", is also available to technicians as an option. In "check mode", 1 trip detection logic is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent malfunctions (hand-held tester only) (See step 3 ). *2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the ignition switch is turned OFF and then ON again, and the same malfunction is detected again, the MIL will illuminate (2nd trip). Freeze frame data: The freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred. Priorities for troubleshooting: When multiple DTCs occur, find out the order in which the DTCs should be inspected by checking the component's DTC chart. If no instructions are written in the DTC chart, check DTCs in the following order of priority: DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction DTCs (P0171 and P0172) and misfire DTCs (P0300 - P0306). Fuel trim malfunction DTCs (P0171 and P0172). Misfire DTCs (P0300 - P0306). Check the DLC3. The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format. HINT: Connect the cable of the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to ON and attempt to use the hand-held tester. If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a problem exists in the vehicle side or the tester side. If the communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle. If the communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual. Inspect battery voltage. Battery Voltage: 11 to 14V If voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding. Check MIL. The MIL turns on when the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is not running. HINT: If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter (See «COMBINATION METER»(ref-182158) ). When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off. If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-181812-S02039846342005080500000) to confirm the details of the DTCs.
  2. DTC CHECK / CLEAR (Normal Mode) NOTE: If no DTC appears in the normal mode: On the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester, check the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979). When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice-versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode will be erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data. Check the DTC. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Use the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down. For the hand-held tester, select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-181812-S02039846342005080500000) to confirm the details of the DTCs. NOTE: When simulating a symptom with the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand- held tester) to check DTCs, use normal mode. For DTCs subject to "2 trip detection logic", perform either of the following actions. Check the pending fault code: For the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES. Turn the ignition switch to OFF after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated again, the MIL illuminates and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM. Check the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool. Clear the DTC (using OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester). Connect the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Erase DTCs and freeze frame data with the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester. For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual. Clear DTC (not using OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester) Disconnecting the battery cable, or remove the EFI NO. 1 fuse AND ETCS fuse more than 60 seconds. After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the "INITIALIZE" procedure (See «PRE-CHECK»(ref-181812-S42723497822005080500000) ).
  3. CHECK MODE PROCEDURE HINT: Hand-held tester only: Check mode has a higher sensitivity to detect malfunctions and can detect malfunction that normal mode cannot detect. Check mode can also detect all the malfunctions that normal mode can detect. Check mode procedure. Make sure that the items below are true: Battery positive voltage 11 V or more Throttle valve fully closed Transmission in the P or N position A/C switched OFF Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 in the at the lower left of the instrument panel. Turn the ignition switch to ON and push the hand-held tester ON. Change the ECM to check mode with the hand-held tester. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / CHECK MODE. Make sure the MIL flashes as shown in the figure. NOTE: All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded will be erased if: 1) the hand-held tester is used to change the ECM from normal mode to check mode or vice-versa; or 2) during check mode, the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF. Start the engine. The MIL should turn off after the engine starts. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer. After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the hand-held tester diagnosis selector to check the DTC, freeze frame data and other data. After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable circuit. Using OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester: Clear DTC Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Erase DTCs and freeze frame data with the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester. For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual.
  4. Clear DTC (not using OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester) Disconnecting the battery cable, or remove the EFI NO. 1 fuse more than 60 seconds. After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the "INITIALIZE" procedure (See «PRE-CHECK»(ref-181812-S42723497822005080500000) ).
  5. FAIL-SAFE CHART If any of the following codes are recorded, the ECM enters into the ail-safe mode.
  6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS HINT: Hand-held tester only: By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems. Clear the DTCs (See step 2 ). Set the check mode (See step 3 ). Perform a simulation test (See «HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-181807-S09356980302005080400000) ). Check the connector and terminal (See «HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE»(ref-181807-S35860315572005080400000) «HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE»(ref-181807-S35860315572005080400000) ). Handle the connector (See «HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE»(ref-181807-S35860315572005080400000) ).
  7. BASIC INSPECTION When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in all the possible circuits considered as the cause of the problems. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use this check is essential in the engine troubleshooting. Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped? NO: Charge or replace battery. YES: Go to next step. Is engine cranked? NO: Proceed to «STARTERS»(ref-163557), and continue to troubleshoot. YES: Go to next step. Does engine start? NO: Go to step 7. YES: Go to next step. Check air filter. PREPARATION: Remove the air filter. CHECK: Visually check that the air filter is not dirty or excessive oily. NG: Replace air filter. OK: Go to next step. Check idle speed. PREPARATION: Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature. Switch off all the accessories. Switch off the A/C. Shift the transmission into the N position. Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 of the vehicle. CHECK: Use the "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST/ALL" to check the idle speed. OK: Idle speed: 650 to 750 RPM NG: Proceed to «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-181812-S21115412142005080500000). OK: Go to next step. Check ignition timing (See «IGNITION TIMING (5VZ-FE)»(ref-181735) ). NG: Proceed to «IGNITION SYSTEM (5VZ-FE)»(ref-181836), and continue to troubleshoot. OK: Proceed to «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-181812-S21115412142005080500000). Check fuel pressure. PREPARATION: Be sure that enough fuel is in the tank. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON. Use the ACTIVE TEST mode to operate the fuel pump. Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details. Without hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector (See «FUEL PUMP»(ref-181795-S34907562362006080100000) ). CHECK: Check for the fuel pressure in the fuel inlet hose when it is pinched by hand. HINT: At this time, you will hear the fuel flowing noise. NG: Proceed to «FUEL PUMP»(ref-181795-S34907562362006080100000), and continue to troubleshoot. OK: Go to next step. Check for spark.

Connect the ignition coil or high-tension cord to the spark plug again, and connect the ignition coil connector. Disconnect the injector connector. Ground the spark plug. CHECK: Check if spark occurs while the engine is being cranked. NOTE: To prevent excess fuel from being injected from the injectors during this test, don't crank the engine for more than 5-10 seconds at a time. NG: Proceed to «IGNITION SYSTEM (5VZ-FE)»(ref-181836), and continue to troubleshoot. OK: Proceed to «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-181812-S21115412142005080500000).
  8. DATA LIST HINT: According to the DATA LIST displayed by the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as a first step of troubleshooting is one of the method to shorten the labor time. NOTE: The values given below for "Normal Condition" are representative values. So, a vehicle may still be normal even if its value differs from those listed here. So, do not depend solely on the "Normal Condition" here when deciding whether a part is faulty or not. Warm up the engine. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Connect the OBD II scan tool or the Hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn ON the hand-held tester. Select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST. According to the display on tester, read the DATA LIST.
  9. ACTIVE TEST HINT: Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the OBD II scan tool or Hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as a first step of troubleshooting is one of the method to shorten the labor time. It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST. Warm up the engine. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Connect the OBD II scan tool or the Hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. According to the display on tester, read the "ACTIVE TEST".
  10. DEFINITION OF TERMS TERMS DEFINITION CHART Term Definition Monitor description Description of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and its details). Related DTCs Diagnostic code Typical enabling condition Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets the DTC when the monitored value(s) exceeds the malfunction threshold(s). Sequence of operation The priority order that is applied to monitoring, if multiple sensors and components are used to detect the malfunction. While another sensor is being monitored, the next sensor or component will not be monitored until the previous monitoring has concluded. Required sensor/components The sensors and components that are used by the ECM to detect malfunctions. Frequency of operation The number of times that the ECM checks for malfunctions per driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means that the ECM detects malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means that the ECM detects malfunction every time when enabling condition is met. Duration The minimum time that the ECM must sense a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a DTC. This timing begins after the "typical enabling conditions" are met. Malfunction thresholds Beyond this value, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction and set a DTC. MIL operation MIL illumination timing after a defect is detected. "Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates MIL if the same malfunction is detected again in the 2nd driving cycle.

  12. List of Disable a Monitor HINT: This table below shows the ECM monitoring status for the components listed in the top of the table when the DTCs on the left of the table are set. As for the "X" mark, when the DTC on the left is stored, detection of the DTC in the upper column is not performed.
  13. O2S TEST RESULT INTRODUCTION The O2S TEST RESULT refers to the results of the engine control module (ECM) when it monitors the oxygen sensor (O2S), and it can be read using the hand-held tester or the generic OBDII scan tool. Based on this, you can find the O2S's conditions. The ECM monitors the O2S in the various items. You can read the monitor result (TEST DATA) of each monitor item using the O2S TEST RESULT. However, the output value of the TEST DATA is the latest "snapshot" value that is it taken after monitoring and therefore it is not dynamic. In this article, the description of the O2S TEST RESULT (for O2S related DTCs) are written in a table. This table consists of 5 items: TEST ID (a code applied to each TEST DATA) Description of TEST DATA Conversion Factor (When Conversion Factor has a value written in the table, multiply the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool by the Conversion Factor value. The result will be the required value.) Unit Standard Value If the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool is out of the standard value, the O2S is malfunctioning. If it is within the standard value, the O2S is functioning normally. However, if the value is on the borderline of the standard value, the O2S may malfunction very soon. HOW TO READ O2S TEST RESULT USING HAND-HELD TESTER Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. On the tester screen, select the following menus: DIAGNOSIS/CARB OBDII/O2S TEST RESULT. A list of the O2S equipped on the vehicle will be displayed. Select the desired O2S and press ENTER. The following screen will appear. Press HELP and iquest simultaneously. More information will appear. Example: The hand-held tester displays "17" as a value of the "TIME $81" (Scheme 36) Find the Conversion Factor value of "TIME $81" in the O2S TEST RESULT chart below. 0.3906 is specified for $81 in this chart. Multiply "17" in step (1) by 0.3906 (Conversion Factor) in the step (2). 17 x 0.3906 = 6.6% If the answer is within the standard value, the "TIME $81" can be confirmed to be normal. O2S TEST RESULT Chart O2S TEST RESULT DESCRIPTION TEST ID Description of TEST DATA Conversion Factor Unit Standard Value $81 Percentage of monitoring time when the O2S voltage is less than 0.05V Multiply 0.3906 % Within 60 %
  14. CHECKING MONITOR STATUS NOTE: The Monitor Status is not applicable to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). The HO2S status can be checked with O2S TEST RESULT. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the monitor result (mode 6) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are catalyst, EVAP and thermostat. The monitor result allows the OBD scan tool to display the monitor status, test value and test limit. The monitor status indicates whether the component is functioning normally or not (PASS or FAIL). The test value is the value that was used to determine the monitor status. When the test value is inside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is functioning normally (PASS). If the test value is outside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is malfunctioning (FAIL). A problem in these components/systems can be found by comparing the test value and test limit. The monitor result information is included under "MONITOR RESULT" in the DTC tests. PROCEDURE NOTE: The monitor result and test value are cleared when the ignition switch is turned OFF. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Clear the DTCs. Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable drive pattern described in READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN (see «READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN»(ref-181812-S36362248052005080500000) ). Select from the tester menus: DIAGNOSIS, ENHANCED OBD II, MONITOR INFO and MONITOR RESULT. The monitor result appears after the component name. INCMP: The component has not been monitored yet. PASS: The component is functioning normally. FAIL: The component is malfunctioning. Confirm that the component is set to either PASS or FAIL. Select the component (Label) and press ENTER. The accuracy test value appears when the monitor result is either PASS or FAIL. VAL The test value LMT: The test limit TLT: The test limit type. Either 0 or 1 is displayed. If TLT is 0, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is higher than the test limit. If TLT is 1, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is lower than the test limit. Compare the test value with the test limit. The test value is usually significantly higher or lower than the test limit. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limit, there is a potential malfunction in the component.

HINT

The monitor result might on rare occasions be PASS even if the MIL is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.

  1. PURPOSE OF THE READINESS TESTS The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission-related components, and report any detected abnormalities with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Since various components need to be monitored during different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called readiness monitors. The hand-held tester's software must be version 9.0 or newer to view the readiness monitor status. From the "Enhanced OBD II Menu", select "Monitor Status" to view the readiness monitor status. A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the readiness monitor status. When the readiness monitor status reads "complete", the necessary conditions have been met for running performance tests for that readiness monitor. HINT: Many state Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require a vehicle's readiness monitor status to show "complete". The Readiness Monitor will be reset to "incomplete" if: The ECM has lost battery power or blown a fuse DTCs have been cleared. The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met. If the readiness monitor status shows "incomplete", follow the appropriate readiness monitor drive pattern to change the status to "complete". CAUTION: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. NOTE: The following drive patterns are the fastest method of completing all the requirements necessary for making the readiness monitor status read "complete". If forced to momentarily stop a drive pattern due to traffic or other factors, the drive pattern can be resumed. Upon completion of the drive pattern, in most cases, the readiness monitor status will change to "complete". Sudden changes in vehicle load and speed, such as driving up and down hills and / or sudden acceleration, hinder readiness monitor completion.
  2. CATALYST MONITOR (A/F sensor TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 75°C (167°F) or greater. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is -10°C (14°F) or greater. NOTE: To complete the readiness test in cold ambient conditions (less than -10°C / 14°F). turn the ignition switch to the off position and then back to the ON position. Perform the drive pattern a second time. Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check readiness monitor status and preconditions (refer to step "a"). Drive vehicle at 40 to 55mph (64 to 88km/h) for approximately 4 minutes. NOTE: Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden acceleration. If IAT was less than 10°C (50°F) when the engine was started, drive the vehicle at 40 to 55 mph (64 to 88 km/h) for an additional 4 minutes. Drive the vehicle allowing speed to fluctuate between 40 to 50 mph (64 to 80 km/h) for about 16 minutes. NOTE: Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden closure of the throttle. Check the status of the readiness monitor on the scan tool display. If readiness monitor status did not switch to complete, ensure preconditions are met, turn the ignition OFF, and then repeat steps (2) and (3).
  3. EVAP MONITOR (VACUUM PRESSURE MONITOR) NOTE: A cold soak must be performed prior to conducting the drive pattern to complete the Internal Pressure readiness monitor. Cold Soak Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Fuel level is approximately 1/2 to 3/4 fuel. Altitude is 7,800 feet (2,400m) or less. Cold Soak Procedure Let vehicle cold soak for 8 hours or until the difference between IAT and ECT is less than 7°C (13°F). HINT: Example 1 ECT = 24°C (75°F) IAT = 16°C (60°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 8°C (15°F) => The monitor will not run because difference between ECT and IAT is greater than 7°C (13°F) Example 2 ECT = 21°C (70°F) IAT = 20°C (68°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 1°C (2°F) => The monitor will run because difference between ECT and IAT is less than 7°C (13°F) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is OFF Fuel level is approximately 1/2 to 3/4 fuel. The altitude is 7,800 feet (2,400 m) or less. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F) Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95 °F)* The cold Soak Procedure has been completed Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT and IAT must be less than 7°C (13°F) HINT: Example 1 ECT = 24°C (75°F) IAT = 16°C (60°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 8°C (15°F) => The monitor will not run because difference between ECT and IAT is higher than 7°C (13°F) Example 2 ECT = 21°C (70°F) IAT = 20°C (68°F) Difference between ECT and IAT is 1°C (2°F) => The monitor will run because difference between ECT and IAT is less than 7°C (13°F) NOTE: The readiness test can be completed in cold ambient conditions (less than 4.4°C / 40°F) and / or high altitudes (more than 7,800 feet / 2,400 m). Finish the drive pattern, turn the ignition switch OFF and then on again, and repeat the drive pattern a second time. Drive Pattern Connect the OBD II scan tool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions (refer to step "a"). Release pressure in fuel tank by removing the fuel tank cap and then reinstalling it. Start the engine and allow to idle until ECT is 75°C (167°F) or more. Run the engine at 3,000 RPM for about 10 seconds. With the engine idling, turn the A/C ON to create slight electrical load. Wait 15 to 50 minutes. NOTE: If the vehicle does not have A/C, put a slight electrical load on the engine by following the steps below: Set the parking brake securely. Use wheel chocks to secure the tires. Move the shift lever to drive (position D) and allow engine to idle for 15 to 50 minutes. Check if the readiness monitor status.
  4.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter uses a platinum hot wire. The hot wire air flow meter consists of a platinum hot wire, temperature sensor and a control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The hot wire air flow meter works in principle that the hot wire and temperature sensor located in the intake air bypass of the housing detect any changes in the intake air temperature.

The hot wire is maintained at the set temperature by controlling the current flow through the hot wire. This current flow is then measured as the output voltage of the air flow meter.

The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and temperature sensor can provide a bridge circuit with the power transistor, and controlled so that the potential of A and B can remain equal in order to maintain the set temperature.

The intake air temperature sensor is built in the MAF meter and senses the intake air temperature.

A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value according to the intake air temperature.

The lower the intake air temperature is, the greater the thermistor resistance value becomes, and the higher the intake air temperature is, the lower the thermistor resistance value becomes (Scheme 72)

The intake air temperature sensor is connected to the ECM (See below). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the intake air temperature sensor from terminal THA via resistor R. That is, resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature, the potential at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold engine operation. If the ECM detects the DTC P0110, it operates the fail safe function in which the intake air temperature is assumed to be 20°C (68°F).

HINT

This is the procedure of throttle position sensor.

The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body and it have 2 sensors to detect the throttle opening angle and a malfunction of the throttle position sensor.

The voltage applied to the terminals VTA and VTA2 of the ECM changes between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve. The VTA is a signal to indicate the actual throttle valve opening angle which is used for the engine control, and the VTA2 is a signal to indicate the information about the opening angle which is used for detecting a malfunction.

The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals input from terminals VTA and VTA2, and the ECM controls the throttle motor to make the throttle valve angle properly in response to the driving condition.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM shuts down the power for the throttle motor and the electromagnetic clutch, and the throttle valve is fully closed by the return spring.

However, the opening angle of the throttle valve can be controlled by the accelerator pedal through the throttle cable.

The narrowing down the trouble area is possible by performing ACTIVE TEST of the following "A/F CONTROL" (A/F sensor, heated oxygen sensor or another can be distinguished).

Perform ACTIVE TEST by hand-held tester (A/F CONTROL).

  2. Connect hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, and read value for voltage output of A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1). PREPARATION: Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC 3. Warm up the A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) with the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Read A/F sensor voltage on the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. CHECK: Hand-held tester only: Select the "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/SNAPSHOT/MANUAL SNAPSHOT/USER DATA" mode on the hand-held tester. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at approx. 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully closed quickly. OK: Standard: Condition (1) and (2) Voltage change a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (0.66 V)* (between approx. 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the figure. Condition (3) A/F ratio sensor voltage increase to 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the figure. HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approx. 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 98) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit). Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approx. 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 98) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally. The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside the ECM. If measuring voltage at connectors of A/F ratio sensor or ECM, you can obtain a constant voltage. *: When using the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester). OK: Go to step 15.

To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three-way catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air-fuel ratio.

When the air-fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: < 0.45 V).

When the air-fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas in reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromotive force: > 0.45V).

The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air-fuel ratio control.

The oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low) current flows to the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

HINT: Clear all DTCs prior to performing the confirmation driving pattern. Go to next step.
  7. Is the DTC P0136 being output again? NO: Check for intermittent problems. YES: Replace heated oxygen sensor.

The fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection time. The fuel trim includes the short-term fuel trim and the long-term fuel trim. The short-term fuel trim is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the air-fuel ratio at its ideal theoretical value. The signal from the A/F sensor is approximately proportional to the existing air-fuel ratio. Comparing it with the ideal theoretical value, the ECM reduces fuel volume immediately if the air-fuel ratio is RICH and increases fuel volume if it is LEAN. The long-term fuel trim compensates for the deviation from the central value of the short-term fuel trim which is stored up by each engine tolerance, and the deviation from the central value due to the passage of time and changes of environment. If both the short-term fuel trim and the long-term fuel trim exceed a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.

Scheme 106

Scheme 106: CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

HINT

  1. When DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC P0172 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the RICH side.
  2. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air-fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then comes on.
  3. If the total of the short-term fuel trim value and long-term fuel trim value is within +/- 35 % (75°C) or more), the system is functioning normally.
  4. The A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.
  5. The ECM controls the voltage of the AF1+ and AF1- terminals of the ECM to the fixed voltage. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.
  6. OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester) displays the one fifth of the A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) output voltage which is displayed on the hand-held tester.

Scheme 107

Scheme 107: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Under closed-loop fuel control, fuel injection amounts that deviate from the ECM's estimated fuel amount will cause a change in the long-term fuel trim compensation value. This long-term fuel trim is adjusted when there are persistent deviations in the short-term fuel trim values. And the deviation from the simulated fuel injection amount by the ECM affects a smoothed fuel trim learning value. The smoothed fuel trim learning value is the combination of smoothed short-term fuel trim (fuel feedback compensation value) and smoothed long-term fuel trim (learning value of the air-fuel ratio). When the smoothed fuel trim learning value exceeds the DTC threshold, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the fuel system and sets a DTC.

Example

The smoothed fuel trim leaning value is more than +35% or less than -35%. The ECM interprets this as a failure in the fuel system.

  8. Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool and read value for voltage output of A/F sensor. PREPARATION: Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC 3. Warm up the A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) with the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Read A/F sensor voltage on the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. CHECK: Hand-held tester only: Select the "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/SNAPSHOT/MANUAL SNAPSHOT/USER DATA" mode on the hand-held tester. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at approx. 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully closed quickly. OK: Standard: Condition (1) and (2) Voltage change a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (0.66 V)* (between approx. 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the figure. Condition (3) A/F ratio sensor voltage increase to 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the figure. HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approx. 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 109) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit.) Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approx. 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 109) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally. The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside the ECM. If measuring voltage at connectors of A/F ratio sensor or ECM, you can obtain a constant voltage. *: When using the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester). OK: Go to step 16.

Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.

The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred. And when the misfire rate equals to or exceeds the count of indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the MIL lights up.

If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause the catalyst to overheat, the MIL blinks when misfiring occurs.

HINT

  1. For any particular 200 revolutions of engine, misfiring is detected, which can cause catalyst to overheat (This cause MIL to blink. 1 trip detection logic).
  2. For any particular 1,000 revolutions of engine, misfiring is detected, which causes deterioration in emissions (This cause MIL to light up. 2 trip detection logic).

Scheme 113

Scheme 113

HINT

When codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no random misfire code is recorded, it indicates that the misfires have been detected and recorded at different times.

Scheme 114

Scheme 114: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM illuminates the MIL (2 trip detection logic) if

  1. The misfiring rate exceeds a threshold value and could cause emissions deterioration.
  2. During the first 1,000 engine revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive misfire rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfire per 1,000 engine revolutions) occurs 1 time.
  3. After the first 1,000 engine revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive misfire rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfire per 1,000 engine revolutions) occurs 4 times.

The ECM blinks the MIL (MIL blinks immediately) if

  1. Within 200 engine revolutions at a high RPM, the threshold for "percent of misfire causing catalyst damage" is reached 1 time.
  2. Within 200 engine revolutions at a normal RPM, the threshold for "percent of misfire causing catalyst damage" is reached 3 time.

Scheme 115

Scheme 115: MONITOR STRATEGY

HINT

  1. If DTCs besides misfire are memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting for them.
  2. 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, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  3. When the vehicle is brought to the workshop and the misfire is not occurred, misfire can be confirmed by reproducing the condition of the freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there is no misfire (See the confirmation driving pattern).
  4. On 6 and 8 cylinder engines, misfiring cylinder identification is disabled at high engine speed and only an general misfire fault code P0300 is stored instead of a cylinder specific misfire fault code (i. e., P0301 - P0308). Under the following conditions, only P0300 code may be stored. Misfire starts in the high engine speed area or Misfire occurs only in the high engine speed area. Therefore, when a general misfire fault code (i.e., P0300) is only stored, erase the DTCs after read freeze frame data with the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Start the engine and drive the confirmation pattern (See the CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN) and read the value of the misfire ratio for each cylinder (or DTC). Perform the repair correspond to the high misfire ratio cylinder (or the misfiring cylinder indicated by DTC). After completing the repair, confirm no misfire is occurring by driving the confirmation pattern.
  5. When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data is besides the range of +/-20 %, there is a possibility that the air-fuel ratio is inclining either to RICH (-20 % or less) or LEAN (+20 % or more).
  6. When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility or misfire only during warming up.
  7. If the misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the driving with lack or fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain on ignition plug, etc.
  8. Be sure to check the value on the misfire counter after the repair.

There DTCs indicate a malfunction related to primary circuit.

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor. The DIS is a 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system which ignites 2 cylinders simultaneously with one ignition coil. In the 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system, each of the 2 spark plugs is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plugs. The sparks of the 2 spark plugs passes simultaneously from the center electrode to the ground electrode (No. 1, 5 and 3 cylinder) and from the ground electrode to the center electrode (No. 4, 2 and 6 cylinder). The ECM determines the ignition timing end outputs the ignition signal (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on the IGT signals, the igniter controls the primary ignition signals (IGC) for all ignition coils. At the same time, the igniter also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.

The Accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the throttle body and it has the 2 sensors to detects the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position's own.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is connected with the accelerator pedal by the accelerator wire and the voltage applied to the terminals VPA and VPA2 of the ECM changes between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. The VPA is a signal to indicate the actual accelerator pedal opening angle which is used for the engine control, and the VPA2 is a signal to indicate the information about the opening angle which is used for detecting a malfunction.

The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from these signals input from terminals VPA and VPA2 and the ECM controls the throttle motor based on these signals.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM shuts down the power for the throttle motor and the magnetic clutch, and the throttle valve is fully closed by the return spring.

HINT

This DTC is related to A/F sensor, although the caption is oxygen sensor.

To obtain a high purification rate of the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three-way catalytic converter is used. But, for the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

The A/F sensor has a characteristic that the output voltage * becomes approximately proportional to the existing air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage * is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air-fuel ratio. By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor malfunctions, the ECM is unable to perform the accurate air-fuel ratio control. The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low), the current flows to the heater to heat the sensor for the accurate oxygen concentration detection.

* : The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

Hand-held tester only

The narrowing down the trouble area is possible by performing ACTIVE TEST of the following "A/F CONTROL" (A/F sensor, heated oxygen sensor or another can be distinguished).

Perform ACTIVE TEST by hand-held tester (A/F CONTROL).

HINT

The A/F CONTROL operation lowers the injection volume 12.5 % or increases the injection volume 25%.

  1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to 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 the A/F CONTROL operation with the engine in an idle condition (press the right or left button).

Result

A/F sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume

+25 % => rich output: Less than 3.0 V

12.5 % => lean output: More than 3.35 V

Heated oxygen sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume

+25 % => rich output: More than 0.55 V

12.5 % => lean output: Less than 0.4 V

Note. The A/F sensor output has a few seconds of delay and the heated oxygen sensor output has about 20 seconds of delay at maximum.

CHECK: Hand-held tester only: Select the "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/SNAPSHOT/MANUAL SNAPSHOT/USER DATA" mode on the hand-held tester. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at approx. 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully closed quickly. OK: Standard: Condition (1) and (2) Voltage change a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (0.66 V) * (between approx. 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the figure. Condition (3) A/F ratio sensor voltage increase to 3.8 V (0.76 V) * or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the figure. HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approx. 3.3 V (0.660 V) * (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 183) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit.) Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approx. 3.8 V (0.76 V) * or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V) * or less (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 183) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V) * during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally. The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside the ECM.

Scheme 191

Scheme 191: MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The air-fuel ratio (A/F) sensor varies its output voltage in proportion to the air-fuel ratio. Based on the output voltage, the ECM determines if the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN and adjusts the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The ECM also checks the fuel injection volume compensation value to check if the A/F sensor is deteriorating or not. A/F sensor response deterioration is determined by the ratio of A/F sensor output voltage variation and fuel trim variation.

  2. Connect hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, and read value for voltage output of A/F sensor. PREPARATION: Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC 3. Warm up the A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) with the engine at 2,500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds. Read A/F sensor voltage on the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. CHECK: Hand-held tester only: Select the "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/SNAPSHOT/MANUAL SNAPSHOT/USER DATA" mode on the hand-held tester. Select "AFS B1 S1/ENGINE SPD" and press button "YES". Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully. Check the A/F sensor voltage under the condition as follows. Allow engine to idle for 30 seconds. Engine is racing at approx. 2,500 RPM (when engine revolution is not suddenly changed). Raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM and release the accelerator pedal fully closed quickly. OK: Standard: Condition (1) and (2) Voltage change a little in the vicinity of 3.3 V (0.66 V)* (between approx. 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the figure. Condition (3) A/F ratio sensor voltage increase to 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more during engine deceleration (when fuel cut) as shown in the figure HINT: Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at approx. 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 193) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an open-circuit. (This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open-circuit.) Whenever the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at a certain value of approx. 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see Malfunction Condition in (Scheme 193) ) under any conditions as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short-circuit. The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a lean condition and should result in a momentary increase in A/F ratio sensor voltage. The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph to allow the ECM to relearn the closed throttle position. When the vehicle is driven: In the case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment (for example, when the vehicle tries to overtake another vehicle on a highway, the vehicle speed is suddenly increased with the accelerator pedal fully depressed), the A/F sensor are functioning normally. The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside the ECM. If measuring voltage at connectors of A/F ratio sensor or ECM, you can obtain a constant voltage. *: When using the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester).
