    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 HO2S1 CONNECTOR FOR WATER 
    1. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 1 harness connector.
    2. Check connectors for water.

      Water should not exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK (With CONSULT-II) GO TO 6.
    2. OK (Without CONSULT-II) GO TO  7 .
    3. NG Repair or replace harness or connectors.
  6. CHECK HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Select "MANU TRIG" and adjust "TRIGGER POINT" to 100% in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Select "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" and "HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2)".
    4. Hold engine speed at 2,000 RPM under no load during the following steps.
    5. Touch "RECORD" on CONSULT-II screen.

    6. Check the following.
    • "HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2)" in "DATA MONITOR" mode changes from "RICH" to "LEAN" to "RICH" more than 5 times in 10 seconds.

      5 times (cycles) are counted as shown left:

      Bank 1

      cycle | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

      HO2S1 MNTR (B1) R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R

      Bank 2

      cycle | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

      HO2S1 MNTR (B2) R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R

      R means HO2S1

      MNTR (B1)/(B2) indicates RICH

      L means HO2S1

      MNTR (B1)/(B2) indicates LEAN

    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage goes above 0.6V at least once.
    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage goes below 0.3V at least once.
    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage never exceeds 1.0V.

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
    • Before installing new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK GO TO  8 .
    2. NG Replace malfunctioning heated oxygen sensor 1.
  7. CHECK HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Set voltmeter probes between ECM terminal 35 (HO2S1 bank 1 signal) or 16 (HO2S1 bank 2 signal) and engine ground.
    3. Check the following with engine speed held at 2,000 RPM constant under no load.

    • The voltage fluctuates between 0 to 0.3V and 0.6 to 1.0V more than 5 times within 10 seconds.
    • The maximum voltage is over 0.6V at least one time.
    • The minimum voltage is below 0.3V at least one time.
    • The voltage never exceeds 1.0V.

      1 time: 0 - 0.3V --> 0.6 - 1.0V --> 0 - 0.3V

      2 times: 0 - 0.3V --> 0.6 - 1.0V --> 0 - 0.3V --> 0.6 - 1.0V --> 0 - 0.3V

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
    • Before installing new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK GO TO 8.
    2. NG Replace malfunctioning heated oxygen sensor 1.
  8. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
