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 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

    -4. Test-drive under these conditions:

    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 deg.F (70 deg.C)
    • Transmission in D
    • Vehicle speed between 25-55 mph (40-90 km/h) for 5 minutes
    • Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (90-120 km/h) for 10 seconds, then decelerate (with throttle fully closed) for 8 seconds or more

    P2A00 Rear A/F Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Circuit Range/Performance Problem  
    P2A03 Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) Circuit Range/Performance Problem  

    Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

    YES 

    Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    If the HDS indicates PASSED, 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 HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-3 and recheck.

  2. Repair verification (OBD STATUS check)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Reset the PCM with the HDS .

    Reset PCM

    -3. Do the PCM idle learn procedure .

    -4. Test-drive under these conditions:

    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 deg.F (70 deg.C)
    • Transmission in D
    • Vehicle speed between 25-55 mph (40-90 km/h) for 5 minutes
