    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between A/F sensor 1 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.
      • Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  10.
    • NG: GO TO  5.

  5. CHECK CONDENSER CIRCUIT-I 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect fuse block (J/B) harness connector M1.
    3. Check resistance between fuse block (J/B) terminal 9A and ground. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
      • Resistance: Above 1 MΩ at 25°C (77°F) 
    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  6.
    • NG: GO TO  7.
  6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M82, F102
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M1
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse
      • Repair harness or connectors.
  7. CHECK CONDENSER CIRCUIT-II 
    1. Disconnect condenser harness connectors.
    2. Check harness continuity between fuse block (J/B) terminal 9A and condenser terminal 1, condenser terminal 2 and ground.
    3. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
      • Continuity should exist. 
    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  8.
    • NG: Repair harness or connectors.
  8. CHECK CONDENSER 

    Refer to CONDENSER .

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  9.
    • NG: Replace condenser.
  9. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

    • INSPECTION END 
  10. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
