    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 2.
    2. NG: Repair or replace ground connections.
  2. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 harness connector.

    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between A/F sensor 1 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  4.
    2. NG: GO TO 3.

  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M72, F102
    • Harness connectors E108, M15
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E7
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse
    1. : Repair or replace harness or connectors.
  4. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to Wiring Diagram.

      Continuity should not exist. 

    5. Also check harness for short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 5.
    2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: Replace A/F sensor 1.
    2. NG: Repair or replace.
