DTC P2243  : Rear A/F Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit High Voltage DTC P2247  : Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit High Voltage

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P2243 Rear A/F Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit High Voltage      
P2247 Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit High Voltage      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 2 minutes.

    - 4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    P2247 Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit High Voltage      

    Is DTC P2243 and/or P2247 * indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Open wire check (VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * line):

    - 1.Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    PCM connector C (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)
    A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * wire is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * wire between the PCM (C26 (C29) *) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).

  3. PCM internal circuit check

    -1. Reconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)

    - 2. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

    - 3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 2 minutes.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there about 0.2 V or less?

    YES 

    Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2016), or PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015) .

    NO 

    The PCM internal circuit is OK. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) .
